That's What She Didn't Say

Bonnie Joy Sludikoff is absolutely incredible in her one woman show piece. Based on her own life events, Sludikoff expertly balances the fine line of real life humor and the tough subject matter of sexual abuse. Her story is one worth hearing. A truly wonderful show with a strong story written by a beautiful girl. Sludikoff's writing incorporates several personal stories of struggle and weaves beautifully sung songs from musicals that help the audience identify with her personal struggle. As a triple threat; Sludikoff is writer, actor, singer making her one to watch out for in the upcoming years.... full review

Raw, real, and compelling. Bonnie opens up and allows us into her world through this beautiful and vulnerable depiction of her life. At times I was rolling with laughter, and other moments my heart broke for her. I applaud this brave woman as she tells us a story that needs to be heard. Thank you Bonnie, for letting us in...such a gift. ... full review

Bonnie is a versatile, talented performer. She delights, charms and moves us in her one act play. Her play deals with some tough material and she handles it with aplomb. It is as entertaining as it is an important play to see. ... full review

This show was beautifully and gracefully crafted to tell a difficult, vulnerable, and important story in a way that meets the audience where they are at and entertains them with humor along the way. Bonnie's strong, unique voice (both in content and in actual singing) deservedly finally gets to be heard on stage, and her show has the effect of encouraging others to speak (or sing!) their stories as well. ... full review

This was perhaps one of the best well written, one woman shows I've ever seen. The seriousness interwoven with the comic relief sections made for a roller coaster of emotions that landed me on my feet giving a rousing hand of applause during the bows. ... full review

Bonnie is an amazing performer and now she gets vulnerable and brave telling her intimate story when most people would sweep it under the rug. The seriousness of the subject matter intertwined with Bonnie's beautiful voice with the right bit of comedy and awesome puppet skills made for an engaging, impactful and powerful performance.... full review

WOW! Amazing show! It's profound vulnerability, honesty, and transparency make this show one that can't be missed! You will definitely leave with something more for yourself and moved by Bonnie's performance and singing. It's a message that must be told, an experience that must be shared, an awareness that must be spread. It's truly remarkable when an artist can take what would be an experience that would hold back many people...and assert herself through that experience... On many levels, it was very touching...... full review

Bonnie tells her story of sexual assault and abuse with humor, grace, and wit in a way that leaves you changed. Despite the heaviness of the subject matter, her humor is so accessible and put in just the right places to easily connect with the audience and make the show very enjoyable. She is a very gifted performer and writer who clearly has a very bright future ahead of her. I highly recommend this show not just to those whose lives have been affected by sexual assault, but to anyone looking for very honest storytelling with a lot of wit, charm, and some laugh-out-loud moments. ... full review

Bonnie's writing is bulletproof. I'm pretty sure if most us got up on stage and told the audience our deepest darkest secrets it wouldn't be even half as entertaining as "That's What She Didn't Say". Despite technical issues with the lights, a couple flies looking for stage time, and a photographer firing away right next to my ear, I couldn't help but be pulled into Bonnie's brutally honest story. Here's a girl putting her heart out on the line for all of us to see. The drama is not easy to swallow, but the fine notes of musical theater help wash down the heavy stuff. I felt like I had a chance to experience what it's like to be Bonnie and it was both fascinating and terrifying. Abuse, emotional repression, and artistic expression are the to... full review
