Review by TRACIE BETTENHAUSEN

June 20, 2026 certified reviewer

What I liked

The voices/music were spectacular and the acting. Ugh, those moments when the computer says something that digs at the human… you feel them. Everyone on stage was mesmerizing. The funny parts were so good too. All so relatable.

What I didn't like

I would love to see this in a larger venue. I just want more people to see it and sit with it.

My overall impression

Wow. The show drew me into this relationship between humanity and AI in a way I was not expecting. The push and pull of the affection from the human side was difficult to watch. You were rooting for her the whole time, but when she’d be drawn back you couldn’t blame her. That computer was so dang helpful and charming.
