What I liked

The show is INSPIRED and inspirational. We became so invested in the outcome!

What I didn't like

The musical dexterity of the deliriously talented cello boy. JUST KIDDING!!

My overall impression

Wow. This a testament to all the artists who have put up with soul destroying jealous and insecure teachers. This reminds you to remove yourself. This exposes the fault of the many mentally ill and power hungry instructors to such a degree it is almost as hard to watch as it is satisfying. AND THIS SHOW IS SO SATISFYING. This is such necessary theater veiled in the guise of comedy. It is a lesson. It is a sick reminder of all the ridiculous power we give the “Gauliers” of the world. Who disguise their jealousy as necessary instruction. This is perfect time to name your own torturer. I name “MEERA KHUMBANI” an aspring demi god after the fashion of shoe throwing self agrandisement, in the "clown " world, even though that form of teaching is now purilent and long out of style. If a teacher treats ANYONE badly. Know that they are unfit to teach and LEAVE. Yes. That is what this really outrageous and terrifying performance tasted like to me. Bravo to these two for turning truth into comedy. A cathartic must see for pretty much EVERYONE in the arts. A deceptively true tale you MUST SEE. You might find the laughing painful. But go. It’s a tour de force.
