What I liked
the pacing, the weaving, the way the tragedy is laid out at the start and then as you get to know the man, you dread the end
What I didn't like
slight drag in the first third, just after the costume contest bit, i believe
My overall impression
Fucking fantastic. Dana Kim’s beautifully and sharply weaves tall tails, hilarity, heartbreak, and humanity across time in this one woman show. When she first breaks out the accents and voices of the characters in her story, first and foremost, her father, you know you’re in for a wild and fun ride. She builds up her father to be larger than life, so effectively so, that you walk away feeling like you know the man, feeling like you love him, and feeling like you miss him. I couldn’t stop laughing and then I couldn’t stop crying, and a week later I’m still retelling the tales to friends and family, recommending everyone go to this important piece about family legacy and carrying on the magic of those who are no longer here.
