Lema’s energy, raw vulnerability, and her Gollum impression.
What I didn't like
Would have loved an option for a post-show Q+A!
My overall impression
Bean vs the Robots is a wonderfully weird, heartbreakingly beautiful, and gorgeously executed triumph. Performed by the magnetic Midge Lema, this 60-minute solo show takes the audience on a joyous, enrapturing space travel ride that blends cosmic imagination with deep human truth. Lema commands the stage with a connection to the audience that feels divinely effortless. She shifts seamlessly between moments of brilliant comedy and raw emotional vulnerability. Her touching monologues are so profoundly moving that they left tears streaming uncontrollably down my face.
