What I liked

Darcy Rose Byrnes was glowing as Lacy, the protagonist fighting her monkey mind demons. Her voice soared clearly and solidly in all her solos.

What I didn't like

I wished for more of Darcy – hoping to hear her sing her final audition at the end of the show.

My overall impression

Monkey Mind is an interesting evening that has aspects reminiscent of H.R. Pufnstuf, Alice in Wonderland, and all the things my Buddhist mother tells me on a daily basis. It gives life to the nightmare of inner voices that attack all of us as we struggle through the process of growing and changing.
