What I liked

The variety of storytelling techniques – direct audience address, song, puppetry, video, etc.

What I didn't like

The stage left sheep costume needs a new zipper.

My overall impression

Absolutely heart-wrenching and hilarious. This musical beautifully balances devastatingly dark confessional storytelling with the absurd and obscene humor of a 14-year-old boy. In the theatre, it made me cry, laugh and groan; thinking about the play afterwards had me weeping in a Trader Joe’s parking lot. Well done.
