All the songs were uniquely catchy. Laura Jo’s style reminds me of Regina Spektor meets Radiohead meets Sara Bareilles. I can’t stress enough how happy I am that I bought the CD!
What I didn't like
I wanted more – glad she’s selling the soundtrack after the show! (It’s pwyc, buy it!!)
My overall impression
Laura Jo is truly an incredible composer, pianist, and performer. With each song, Laura Jo really embodies each character. This hour-long performance flies by – each song keeps you present and immersed in this character’s life and story and Laura Jo’s compositions perfectly reflect all the goals, dreams, fears, etc of Shakespeare’s Heroines. If you ever tell a Shakespeare buff that you don’t “get” Shakespeare, they’ll tell you ‘when it’s performed well, you’ll understand it.’ Well, Laura Jo performs it well… so if you’re not a huge Shakespeare buff, you’ll still enjoy this delightful, impressive, mesmerizing, entertaining piece of theatre. If you ARE a Shakespeare buff, you’ll enjoy it even more! I know it’s making me want to revisit the classics… Glad I bought the soundtrack after the show! 10 out of 10 would recommend!
