What I liked
All of the finer details; an actor’s facial expression, the well-timed and executed choreography, the small distortion of a recorded Lakers game. It showed care and intention that was felt in the audience.
What I didn't like
The show ends right when it seems to wrestle with its primary question; is it worth pushing the pain away? We see Joshua’s character in the midst of this debate, yet by the end we’re still wondering what the consequences of his choices will be.
My overall impression
The cast, crew, and creative team nailed this out of the park; Joshua’s unsettling and confrontational writing is elevated by meticulous choices in costume, physicality, and scenic design all to tell a unique perspective on the current loneliness epidemic. The cast walked a tightrope between exaggerated comedy and deep introspection that created a beautiful, engaging piece that gives you something to chew on long after you’re out the door.
