Review by SIVA HARI

What I liked

I loved the breadth of emotions and drama of life well portrayed by Yartiza Rodriguez as Herlinda as a disciplinarian mother and the tragedy and anguish of losing a child. Lola Buckland as Paula portrayed great presence for the daughter role.
Morry Schorr did an excellent job as Bela Lugosi with sarcasm and humor.

What I didn't like

The introduction ET role of Zanzie character was left hazy and took a while to realize.

The entry and exit role of Nikhil character was abrupt and the impact of his gift to the family.

My overall impression

Aditya Putcha and Richard Page are a dynamic duo in co-writing the three segments of the play, A Haunting Revue. All three segments are engaging and thought provoking: 1) on the familiar dynamics of families, siblings, with a nice ET twist of Zanzie character in the sibling mix, 2) a nice haunting interview of Bela Lugosi and Christopher Lee, and 3) Indian mythical power twist of a friend in parents struggle to raise a child and lose a child.
