Goofy goofy fun, while touching on the reality of having to cut off a loved one due to politics, toxicity, narcissism, etc. It's a celebration of what we love of our loved ones while saying goodbye in funeral form to the person. Elena is a master of keeping things FUN(eral) and light while delving into a mourning and grief of a relationship that will never be the way we remember it. Healthy, beautiful, hilarious and playful! ... full review

Overall this was an amazing show that highlights the good memories you have of someone when they pass. It was really fun to be in such an interactive show that calls about the audience in such different ways. I feel like I could watch this show 100 times in a row and keep finding it funny at times and also serious at others. ... full review

The most interactive show I've been to! Very Creative and unique! I was fascinated to see the transformation made on stage. And loved being part of a funeral for I person I've never met and isn't dead!... full review

I found this show raw, funny and deeply personal. The premise is both poignant and provocative: a daughter performing a funeral for her father who is still alive, symbolizing their estrangement. Despite this difficult subject, the show strikes a remarkable balance between emotional honesty and humor. It’s funny, musical, and full of heart, with audience participation that’s not only engaging but central to the experience.... full review

Great, honest, humorous look at family relationships through the lens of a funeral for someone who is still alive. Wonderfully and thoughtfully written, and performed with ease and awareness. Highly recommended!!... full review

Funeral Show by Elena Martinez was a delight. With warmth and originality, Elena explored the grief of losing a parent-child relationship—not through blame, but through a thoughtful lens of what went right as opposed to what went wrong. ... full review
