What I liked

Kamakshi has an incredibly gifted and well trained singing voice. She has my FAVORITE kind of singing voice. So that was a real bonus to the overall experience. The songs she used in the show were perfectly selected; I could listen to her sing all day!

What I didn't like

Possibly in the publicity, ahead of time, make it a little more clear how intense the both the delivery and subject matter is? A woman I came with was a bit shaken up.

My overall impression

This Tale was incredibly polished and compelling throughout. As Kamakshi took me on the tour of her life’s traumas and triumphs, at every moment I felt I was in capable, thoughtful & well rehearsed “hands,” for which I was grateful because the subject matter is intense. Shining a very bright light on all the types of trauma she suffered, I walked out a more compassionate person. Kamakshi has an incredibly gifted and well trained singing voice. She has my FAVORITE kind of singing voice. So that was a real bonus to the overall experience. The songs she used in the show were perfectly selected; I could listen to her sing all day! I’m a dance & music performer, However, I’ve only been to see theater pieces a handful of times in my 61 years (because friends or family were in them), because “the theater” just isn’t my thing. However, I am glad I went. If you appreciate a quality theater piece that is compelling and has a message…run, don’t walk, to "Wild at Hart: A Tale of Trauma & Triumph!
