What I liked

The atmosphere created, the sonic components (creaks, silence, dropping things), physical movement, the rhythm, and the TOTAL COMMITMENT. Molly is channeling and I love getting a window into her mind. It’s so funny.

What I didn't like

More modern dancing. More, “can I get a creak”?

My overall impression

Molly is a lightning-fast mind with infinite access to an absurd amount of knowledge and play. She leans into her innate electric speed with this super-physical immersive, totally committed tour through art, neuroticism, and satire. A woman so eager to impress she begins to crumble like a genius maniac on the edge. I felt like a kid again and this is a show only Molly McLean can do.
