I wasn't prepared for the emotional gut-punch that awaited me in 'I Hope You're Having Fun in Hell, Dad.' Adriana Martínez Barrón's masterful play skillfully balances biting humor with unflinching vulnerability, creating a theatrical experience that's both hilarious and heartbreaking. The cast, led by Cinthya Carmona's tour-de-force performance as Chelsea, brings to life characters that are heightened versions of ourselves – flawed, witty, and relatable. By amplifying the imperfections and insecurities that define us, the play shines a spotlight on the complexities of family dynamics, particularly within traditional Latino households. The result is a poignant exploration of the human psyche, one that challenges audiences to confront thei... full review

I don’t know if Dad is having fun in hell, but I do know I had a wonderful time checking out Adriana Martinez Barron’s moving portrait of a fractured family trying to navigate an uncertain future while reckoning with some painful scars from the past. ... full review

It's such a great play! The script flows naturally, with lots of fun moments. The actors do a great job in their roles, and between them, their chemistry is a thing. The themes covered are universal and accessible, and it's difficult not to empathize with the protagonist's journey accepting and facing her complex feelings towards her dad after his death. So recommendable, can't wait to see more of what this writer has :)... full review

I Hope You’re Having Fun in Hell is a fun and emotional play. It shows how hard it can be families are broken due to affairs, and when parents are not there for their kids. It talks about pain, anger, money, kids out the marriage, and how people can be hurt for a long time when they don’t get the love they need. Cynthia did an amazing job. She played a daughter whose father was never really there; he was busy being with other women and trying to buy his kids' love with money. Cynthia made you feel everything—her sadness, her anger, and how badly she wanted a real connection with her dad. She wasn’t just acting—it felt real. The story shows that money can’t replace love. The dad gave gifts and money, but he never gave his time or love. ... full review

Some families take dysfunction to historic levels with heavy doses of humor added in to the mix. In Adriana Martínez Barrón's semi-autobiographical dark comedy, I Hope You're Having Fun in Hell, Dad, emotions run high at patriarch Fausto Lopez's funeral. An extremely successful business, Lopez is introduced as a controversial, disliked father and philandering spouse. All hell breaks loose at the reading of his will with many expecting to cash in on his passing. What, if anything, will he leave his children? How will his children cope? What about his ex-wife and mistresses? The road to hell is not smoothly paved, but this show proves that it is indeed possible to mourn and even love someone truly awful.... full review

ASHLEY KARP certified reviewer June 07, 2025
I Hope You're Having Fun In Hell, Dad is a dark comedy with a quick wit and a brilliant display of family disfunction in the wake of death. Superbly cast, well written and impactful. The writer, director and producer Adriana Martinez Barron created a world on stage that the audience was a part of, and we didn't want the dynamic family drama to end. In fact, I wanted more! ... full review
