What I liked

It was an incredibly ballsy performance, pun intended. I laughed so much, but was often startled. I didn’t expect to see someone strip to their skivvies on stage, and somehow it made ME feel brave. Crotch props were on point. The maestro was effortless in her bluster, and the eye contact was intense! The cello playing was VERY impressive. It was a dopamine paradise.

What I didn't like

I had no context, and I didn’t feel like I was getting a lot of context, but it didn’t really bother me because as it got weirder, I couldn’t stop laughing.

My overall impression

I didn’t have any expectations, and I was totally caught off guard. It was juicy, interactive, and super funny, but also pretty weird. I’ve seen lots of small theater shows, but this one is definitely the most hilariously bizarre.
