What I liked

This show is endlessly fascinating – Christopher is a gifted performer, and his stories on his family, father, Ecuadorian roots and Queens are already engaging and pull you in. But the show soars when it you realize his actual father (not an actor) enters and shares the stage with him! His father is not a man of many words, but watching Christopher do the show, while incorporating his father, while being emotionally affected by his presence, all combine to create a thrilling theatrical experience. A genuine delight, with a moving ending!

What I didn't like

Christopher teased us with a show about his brother… when’s that coming?

My overall impression

Inspired storytelling, a complicated and rich relationship, emotional catharsis live on stage, all with the best scene partner an actor could ever perform with – their own father!
