What I liked

Not only is the writing fun and clever, but I loved the little shout-outs to NoHo (Republic of Pie represent!). Both performers absolutely brought it, and made it easy to get invested in their journey. This show also benefitted from the simple, clean, and effective staging.

What I didn't like

There need to be tissue boxes strategically placed throughout the house. I’m a grown-ass man and at one point this show had me so deep in my feelings, I was close to tears.

My overall impression

Oh man. Oh. Man. Go see this show. Trust me.

What starts as a fun meet cute between two acquaintances at a party suddenly takes a HARD TURN AND TWISTS into a love story for the ages. I won’t tell you how. Just trust me and enjoy the journey. This is easily one of my favorite shows of the festival thus far, and it deserves your attention.
