What I liked
So many small moments in the entire show. The stupid thing sketch book with audience drawn pictures. The scooter moment. The Rose hat tilt reveal. As someone who chronically only watched the first VHS of the movie (because the 2nd is where it got sad and scary), I cackled at the VHS switch over moment.
What I didn't like
No notes.
My overall impression
I never thought I would be so emotionally moved by a comedic one person show, especially one entitled “Fuck! An Iceberg”. Mallie McCown brilliantly distills the beloved classic into a one person extravaganza while sacrificing none of essential characters, moments, plot points, or memes. But more importantly, McCown gifts the audience with the vulnerability of her real childhood journal entries. She allows the audience to draw parallels between her experiences and the Oscar winning film that has had such an impact on her life. The production is a chaotic ballet of props, hats, wigs, set pieces, water, and volunteers. Endlessly clever and brilliantly written!
