Witches, expert broom-work, drinking out of buckets, throwing tomatoes, potions that create characters on the spot, silent meaningful engagement with the audience at the start, building those connections with the audience throughout the show, and feeling like I was deeply engrained as part of the show.
What I didn't like
Nothing! This was everything I needed and more!
My overall impression
Goody was a party in the woods with my best witchy friends. Elena is such a standout when it comes to audience engagement in a way that is as playful, as it is meaningful to who Goody is as a character. I wanna be friends with Goody, just as much as I want to throw tomatoes at her. Right from the start, Elena grabbed my attention without saying a word for wayyyyy longer than expected. This show made me like the pick-me girl and had my attention the whole time. A masterclass in crowd work, and a show I want to see again and again and again. Goody 4 ever!!
