My overall impression
I was SO very impressed with this piece. I’ve seen 2 previews and 1 full production, and each time I saw I felt I was watching something new and something wonderful. The laughs never became rote, the drama never became “been there done that.” Joy’s story is so hilarious, so heartbreaking, and so incredible that the execution just feels totally original but also very relatable. Definitely my favorite piece of theater so far in 2011, and that’s saying a lot. The writing, the performance, and the production quality are just simply perfect. Just proves you don’t need flash to just tell a GOODSTORY and engage your audience.
