Bombshell

"Bombshell" is Alli Herman's very well-researched solo play which takes place on a certain very dark night in Hollywood history. A true-to-life look at Anna Nicole Smith, and the demons that plagued her after the death of her husband, J. Howard Marshall, "Bombshell" is a surprising, riveting and entertaining send-off. Herman's portrayal is magnetic and full of surprises that you would need to see to fully comprehend. The detailing and use of props did not go unnoticed.... full review

Fantastic and innovative! ... full review

Alli Herman has a beautiful stage presence, and her talent shines in this tiny but mighty show. I only wish it was longer so I could spend more time with her earnest embodiment of Anna Nicole Smith. It inspires empathy for her story, and all the sex symbols who are misunderstood.... full review

Snappy play about Anna Nicole Smith that is equally respectful, funny and sad.... full review

A captivating look into the mind of Anna Nicole Smith!... full review

Absolutely delightful. The show is currently just under 25 minutes, but those are jam-packed with entertainment and emotion; it's 100% worth it. Actress/writer Alli Herman brings profound empathy to Anna Nicole Smith, a figure most of us knew very little about, and who was frequently mocked by the tabloids. This show is never maudlin; Herman finds the humor and heart and zeroes in on it.... full review

I felt this one in my bones!! Alli had such gravitas and sensitivity that reminded me of the bombshells that I love to love! I felt her grief, her humor, her desperation. Her willingness to explore the bold, the profane, the breakfast burrito: was nothing short of extraordinary. ... full review
