What I liked
Every element of the show came together very well, from the writing to the blocking to the ensemble cast giving it their all. The standout acting and vocal performances came from Kayla Ayler-McCormick as Custard/Zelda, Gabriel Myers Prunty as Crema, and Walter Garay as Hubert, the stuffy health inspector-turned-fellow perverted client. Milch is as much an entertaining watch as it is a compelling character study and exploration of the exploitative nature of sex work under capitalism.
What I didn't like
The ending sequence with Willy and Zelda in their new show felt slightly rushed, and I would’ve liked to explore their new lives a little more in depth to see how they are enjoying their newfound freedom from Milch.
My overall impression
After seeing the show twice, I can confidently say this is a must-see for any fan of the absurd-meets-raunchy-meets-laugh-out-loud-funny theatre genre. With impressive production quality, wardrobe, music, choreogrpahy, acting, and overall atmosphere, Milch is best viewed as part of a large, engaged audience.
