What I liked

Big Maestro reminded me of my dentist, Little Cello Boy helpless (maybe? maybe not?) in the dentist’s chair, subject to whatever Big Maestro doles out. This was so well-crafted and executed, with the courageous and outrageous Alex and Peter metaphorically baring all.

What I didn't like

The only improvement I can think of would be a longer run!

My overall impression

Sadistic, deranged (no, not talking about Washington, DC), deep dark comedy, performed by two captivating actors. This is hilarious slapstick, sort of The Three Stooges (but we only have two) meets Little Shop of Horrors. Don’t miss the master class.
