What I liked

The way to get the most out of this show is to abandon expectation and let it wash over you. It is not narrative in any normal sense. It plays with the rhythm and tone in ways that make you feel there might be a story… and is there? You’ll get more than one chance to find out. This is not some dull, academic dissection of theater. It has life, tons of energy, precise performances and creative staging and sound design.

What I didn't like

n/a

My overall impression

This is an enjoyable ride that will expand your ideas of what exactly constitutes a show — and I mean that as a compliment. The work of talented, intelligent people, jazz musicians rather than pop.
