This show is a rare gift. Bonnie Sludikoff graciously, eloquently, musically, fearlessly enables us to enter into her life, in all of it's darkness and beauty. In her honesty and vulnerability, she inspires hope that feels wholly truthful and grounded. As the show progressed her voice grew in depth and power. Brava!... full review

Made me feel like I'd been punched in the gut--in a good way. Touching, funny, heartbreaking. ... full review

Bonnie's show That's What She Didn't Say is a great, uplifting, moving and funny show with sarcastic wit, surprising revelations and insights and an air of in your face honesty about the ups and downs in all our lives. Go see it!... full review

I was so moved by the courage and vulnerability of this show. But even though the subject was tough and important, there were so many little moments of laughter and opportunities to smile! Thank you, Bonnie, for speaking up when so many others are afraid to or just haven't found their voice yet. This show is a gift!... full review

"That's What She Didn't Say" is a brave, funny, vulnerable, moving, COMPELLING night of storytelling told straight from the heart. Bonnie is a joy to watch. Her story moved me to tears and made me want to help other women to tell their stories. Bonnie speaks her truth so candidly and with such wit and humor, the entire audience was leaning forward in their seats from start to finish. At the end of her opening night, she received a well-deserved standing ovation and the entire audience literally clapped for two minutes straight. It was almost as if we did not want to stop clapping. I, along with the practically sold out house, wanted to keep applauding this incredible artist for being brave enough to speak her truth so that she would ke... full review

Bonnie has a beautiful voice. This show is worth seeing for the songs alone. Her story is also one that we know exists but don't hear out loud as often as we know it must happen. Bonnie has a non-profit with the same name as the show, and it's an appropriate name. https://www.facebook.com/thatswhatshedidntsay... full review

I had the privilege of watching Bonnie Joy Sludikoff's one woman show "That's What She Didn't Say" last night, and am still emotionally raw by what she was brave enough to share. Sexual abuse is always so conveniently swept under the rug, and the fact that it's so prevalent yet disturbingly overlooked (the statistic Bonnie shares in the show of 1 in 3 women being abused was shocking, but even more so when you realize those are only the reported cases) incenses me, and makes me even more proud of Bonnie for educating me by being courageous enough to tell her story. I loved the show for shedding light on topics that aren't often talked about, but also for being funny and heartwarming, like when she talked about her first crush and love of musi... full review

What potential! The show was terrifically engaging as is. Bonnie is open hearted, fiercely and remarkably honest and is gifted with a fabulous voice. Put it all together and you have an evening that rides like a roller coaster into the dark and the grey and occasionally the bright light of enlightenment. The fact Bonnie endured so much abuse that went disregarded and denied by teachers and parents and lived to tell about it speaks volumes about her undaunted spirit. She's the type you don't fuck with folks because under that sensitive exterior is one tough cookie. Clearly a winner on so many important levels. I would love to see That's What She Didn't Say further refined and sharpened and brought into a wider venue. Perhaps an extended run?... full review

Touching. Alarming. Funny. This brave young woman bares her private story with her signature witty humor and connection to song; a story that is completely under the radar of the public consciousness, but apparently, a common story for many young ladies. I truly appreciate being given the awareness. It will help me be watchful and sensitive with my daughters, nieces, and female students. There are two shows left, and tickets are selling fast!... full review

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
