My overall impression
The basic premise of What Went Wrong, is that the audience members are new employees for Closure Inc. and view memories of the clients to figure where a relationship went wrong.
…
As for the experience outside of the headsets, the audience can tell they’re in good hands once they enter the room and meet their new supervisor (Claire Frederiksen). Frederiksen was an absolute delight to watch and interact with: amazing comedic timing and seamless improvisation that it almost made one forget she wasn’t going by a script; her performance alone made the experience worthwhile.
After watching the memories, the audience is to discuss what they saw and make a decision about who is to blame. This, along with the ending (which I’m respectfully not discussing, as it is a surprise) – is what makes this piece a See It LA [with a caveat]. Depending on the fellow audience members, this could be a fun exciting time – with debates and deeper understanding how people see relationships or it could feel like being with 7th graders forced to do a group project. I was in a group that was like the latter and despite Frederiksen’s different attempts to guide the audience to talk, it unfortunately didn’t grow into anything more than short one sentence answers.
