there is so much story to be told! I’m torn between wanting the show to have more transitional moments and feeling that the semi-frantic collage structure is really the point. It would be interesting to see this performed in an actual Karaoke space.
My overall impression
This show made me want to call my mom.
R.M. winds through musical sense memories, trips over societal roles, and spills their clown guts for all to commiserate with. Their stories are at once completely personal and profoundly ubiquitous- it brings the same strange joy as listening and connecting to a popular song about heartbreak.
Do not be mistaken! On top of all that profundity, this show made me laugh like a little freak.
