BRIAN ECKERT certified reviewer June 24, 2024
This is easily in contention for the best Fringe show this year. It was magical. I am so impressed by Rachel's improv skills, and the air-tight frame she put around those moments of clowning. It was an uncomfortable, joyous, thought-provoking, emotional ride through how we relate to other people. The show is enhanced by Rachel having the insight of being a therapist, but then also further complicated by Rachel being a person having to relate to other people AS a therapist. The mix of simplicity and complexity in the show is remarkable and I've never seen anything like it and I've never seen an audience so WITH a show. I want it to have a long future life. Rarely is it actually true that I think a play will have a profound effect on people, b... full review

Really funny and thought-provoking. Probably the most sincere and funny crowd work I've seen. I felt inspired to write about these topics and find a new therapist. ... full review

Truly incredible, this show hit me in the chest in the best way. Rachel is an incredible performer, storyteller, and therapist (I assume based on this show, I am not a client). A beautiful and hilarious and accessible way to understand attachment theory and generational trauma.... full review

An exquisite show. I'm still thinking about it. Rachel had us from the moment it began, I was spellbound. Such beautiful storytelling, took us on such a journey. And unlike anything I've ever seen.... full review

SAMIA MOUNTS certified reviewer June 22, 2024
This show was an absolute DELIGHT, and Rachel Troy is a treasure. She managed to make a packed house hang on her every word even when those words were uncannily realistic baby talk. The audience interaction moments were hysterical, and the climactic monologue sucker punched all of us with its depth and humanity. GO SEE THIS SHOW! If you can - all the other performances are sold out because word is spreading. But seriously, if you don't have a ticket, show up and try to get in on a cancellation. Troy is a star and this is a must-see theatrical experience. ... full review
