"THE SUM OF MY PARTS"

Michael is a major talent and his show is as touching as it is delightful. Go see this show!... full review

The sum of my parts is a must see show. I encourage everyone to see this show. It's worth more than the ten bucks it costs to get in. When Michael shares his story about Libby, his only real friend while attending school in Santa Fe, my heart broke for all he went through. Why, I question do we still live in a time when something that doesn't fit the box we want to put it in have to be attacked and destroyed with actions and words. Why would anyone want to hurt such a beautiful soul? It pains me to know there are people out there struggling to be themselves because of our egos still growing up the way Michael did. My dream for the world is tolerance and compassion. Through his show I believe Michael takes people in that direction with hi... full review

In "THE SUM OF MY PARTS", Michael Mullen manages to walk the delicate line between hilarious raconteur and heart melting confessor - without smashing into sloppy sentiment once! He does that thing all great story tellers do - paints a singular life in such vivid detail it sweeps us into the universal experience of being human. Anyone who has ever felt lost and/or exiled from the "feast of life" will relate. An inspiring story. A truly skillful performance.... full review

I enjoyed this show very much and was really touched by Michael's honest, funny, quirky, quick-witted, and charming performance. The use of mannequins and props was very effective as well. Over all this is a great show and should not be missed. ... full review

Michael Mullen is a great performer with tremendous talent. His emotional range throughout "Sum" drew me in, and kept me locked in until the final mmmmmkay! His reflection on sexual/gender identity clearly came from his heart and presented life experiences that many in the LGBT community can identify with. Highly recommended. ... full review

Michael Mullen holds nothing back as he explores ideas and concerns everyone has but few speak of, especially to a room full of strangers. Witty, thoughtful, and leaves one with a new take on gender identity as well as every human's struggle to find happiness.... full review

Michael and the show were wonderful!... full review

As he parades around the stage in a “Most Unique” sash in his one-man show, Michael Mullen perpetuates the very stereotypes he aims to dispel. The Sum of My Parts tells the arduously long story of Mullen’s gender and sexual identity crisis. From playing with dolls to his first boyfriend, Mullen painstakingly recounts lists of details that make him different from all the other little boys and girls. That unique difference, however, is quickly shattered whenever Mullen breaks to brag to the audience that he knows things about dresses and make-up because he’s gay- effectively lumping all gay men into a stereotype of effeminacy. The purpose of the piece seems to be Mullen’s embracing of his duality, but that purpose is clouded by his self-do... full review
