What I liked
Loved the sweet, fun tone and Caroline’s performance was wonderful.
What I didn't like
This would be perfect as a film…fingers crossed :)
My overall impression
Heartwarming, sweet and absolutely hilarious. It’s so brilliant to go to an original stage show and be entertained from curtains up to 80’s power-jamming curtains down. Calling In Love channels Lars & The Real Girl and Wes Anderson, in all the quirky, fun and heartfelt ways with Helga (Caroline O’Meara), fantastic as the idiosyncratic, but loveable heroine we ALL laugh with and can’t help but root for. Even her “co-star” Harold the Mannequin gradually transcends his fibreglass body, metamorphosizing before us into a living, breathing presence that tugs at all those desires to put our chips down into believing in love. I was charmed, I was delighted, I was SO glad I left the house and got to experience a show like this in person.
