What I liked
Although the story spans decades with characters coming and going throughout his life, he’s a performer with such ease, you know you’re in good hands being taking along for a ride without needing to work at connecting the dots!
What I didn't like
The very few times he engaged the audience by stepping off stage, slowed the momentum down….1 time was necessary….he had the wherewithal to address and audience member interacting on the phone…..beautifully finessed by a skilled pro!
My overall impression
This guy is a true raconteur!
His story telling skills are some of the best I’ve seen in theater. The amount of detail and pacing out the events of his extraordinary was mesmerizing. The profound take away for me was how a terrible childhood tragedy (briefly mentioned onced) set him on a course to pursue a dream, developing a fierce resilience while finding a way to keep that dream alive…..all the while having a blast of a life!
SO entertaining and moving…what a journey!
