What I liked

When Alex would repeat the same joke over and over again, it was so funny. I feel like no one can do that well. She really knows how to deliver something that keeps getting funnier the more you say it. Maestro starts off kinda laughable in his arrogance but becomes truly psychotic, and Alex really delivers. She’s got crazy range. Peter equally shows off a ton of range in this performance, and is a completely broken man by the end of the show compared to the bright and eager classical musician he begins as. The two have great comedic chemistry and timing with one another. I can’t wait to see more of them.

What I didn't like

no notes

My overall impression

Hilarious. Horrifying in the best way. Alex is hysterical as the Maestro and expertly toes the line between funny and monstrous, you never stop laughing at her performance even though some of it gets really, really dark. Peter is an excellent cellist and an excellent victim to the Maestro’s antics. So wildly funny and sick and twisted.
