What I liked

I was amazed how Allie pulled the audience from crying to laughing, to both at the same time. The use of the real clips on the screens at the end just about took me out. It was so amazing. The bits of music used were so perfect, I just kept saying “this is freaking brilliant”. I was on the edge of my seat the whole show. I wish I could watch it 5 more times. Best show I’ve seen in a LONG time

What I didn't like

The only thing I would change, is I wanted more!!! I hope Allie continues to perform this show, and that it reaches a bigger audience. I could totally see this as a Netflix special.

My overall impression

Ice Cats is a hilarious, heartbreaking, touching show about grief, death of a parent, and accepting our parents for who they are/were. Allie somehow manages to capture the complicated feelings we all have about our relationships with our parents, and shows such raw, real emotion. It’s an amazing work of art.
