My review: http://zahirblue.blogspot.com/2016/06/sticky-fingers-review.html QUOTE: "Details, as with the others, remain in most ways sparse--we get a precis of what led them to this, not a full biography. Enough for us to feel what we all have in common, how we all in one way or another need some healing."... full review

In other words, delicious!"... full review

Personally, I think I'm spoiled because the only improv artists I usually see are those who've made it into something like stardom. Which is not fair. It is as if the only actors you've ever seen are the likes of Helen Mirren, Alan Rickman, etc. performing established classics!
