What I liked

I know they lost an actor to illness but the understudy for EARTH did great. I also liked that we were involved in the show. I was skeptical this could work when we were in breakout groups, but I think they did a good job of putting us to work. It didnt’ feel didactic. And even the part that could have sounded like a cheesy kids’ theater piece, totally leaned in, which is what made that section so funny.

What I didn't like

NOT A CALL FOR IMPROVEMENT, THIS SITE IS MAKING ME PUTTING SOMETHING HERE…. Some singing was stronger than other, especially when performers leaned into character voices.

My overall impression

HYSTERICAL, WITTY, SO FREAKING CLEVER AND I LEARNED A FEW THINGS

I went in thinking “OK, a show about how we are inevitably doomed to die on this earth”, I’m only watching this because I know the guy in it…. and left with a lot of laughter, enjoying the funeral format and feeling personally accountable in a way that was effective.
