My overall impression
Wonderful story, full of heart. What could have easily veered into the cliched “I was almost a star” show that cynics fear at fringe festivals was instead refreshing, honest and heartfelt. It will be interesting to see how the show develops throughout the run, Cyanne is clearly a talented performer but as the writer she set up quite the challenge for herself. Some of the characters got lost, and the transitions between the characters were occasionally muddy. As well she plays herself at varying ages and it wasn’t always clear which age she was at any given time. However, I did see the show during previews, and given the immense skill Cyanne showed in all the other aspects of her performance I think it’s safe to attribute those kinks as preview-jitters.
