What I liked

Becca Lustgarten demonstrates supreme wit, indefatigable boldness, and excellent focus- all while picking up on those tiny and unique audience responses that make you feel like you’re in a one-of-a-kind showing. Writing beats were well-structured, such that you feel insightful and ahead of the curve right up until the twists that Lustgarten REALLY wants to shock you. Direction was seamless, and the pacing of the show was so zappy that you’re left wanting more of Auntie B’s depth- a great complement to a nonstop, 45 minute scene!

What I didn't like

While it felt like a privilege to be in the sub-30 seat house and only 2-feet from the action, this piece is worthy of a larger space only so more people can see it!

My overall impression

A total success of a one-woman show. Becca Lustgarten effortlessly leads you to love her and hate her, back and forth, in a genuinely charming and well-structured exhibition.
