What I liked

Great show. It’s less performance than Deana channeling her family on stage. I enjoy the way she’s able to bring the audience into the show, at one point even having a member of the audience join her on stage for a conversation with her mother. A remarkable performance, Deana shines on stage.

What I didn't like

More cowbell.

My overall impression

A truly great show. Deana introduces you to her family over the course of the hour. She transforms herself, first through voice and body, to create a scene with all of her family, then uses costumes to highlight each family member in a scene. A really unique look into the people and beliefs that live inside the performer. Don’t forget to pipe up! The audience is part of the show, too.
