What I liked
All of it.
Kara plays a deadpan Andy with thick and complicated monologues in a intonation and rhythm that invokes all the iconic idiosyncratic behavior one would hope for.
Will and Krista split the gender psyche right down the middle as they flank Andy, each with there own rift on what it is to be: male, female, interesting, beautiful, talkative and anything else that comes to mind in the often stream of conspicuousness dialog.
Each cast member employing a crisp and sharp delivery, often with physical ticks or affectations that emphasis words or phrases. This creates a very enjoyable and stylized performance.
What I didn't like
I don’t feel like it can be improved as it sticks to its guns and is and has been wholly committed to what it is.
More people should experience this.
My overall impression
Performance art-gasm.
To be thorough, the first impression started at the opening night party where Andy and his entourage walked the lines for fringe central in the glow of a camera light, stopping for picture strobes and reflection. This sort of bold and broad focus pull for publicity was so much in line of what I understand about Andy I was immediately hooked. The show had already started and i didn’t even have a ticket yet. Brilliant.
To add to the mystery, I would walk by the venue from time to time and see the actors holding the space. This was evident because the front of the venue that this is performed in (an art gallery, by the way) is a full glass window. So the actors are on display which then begs the question of who is watching who? This had a wonderful bleed into the show where at times the passers by became brief subjects in the show, which only added to the levels of what is art and who are the chatter people?
