Don't let the title put you off, CRACK WHORE, BULIMIC, GIRL-NEXT-DOOR is painfully funny, fueled by anger, but held together by compassion. The writing, directing and acting are so direct and honest, they feel revelatory. Don't miss it....

A truly honest, raw, beautiful, funny, and heartbreaking story of a woman's life as told by 3 incredibly talented and brave ladies, playing the same role, and one brilliantly funny and standout man playing all the men in her life. Bravo Crack- Whore, Bulimic, Girl- Next-Door! Thank you for a beautiful night of theatre. Do not miss this! It'll stay with you!...

'Crack Whore' begins lightheartedly enough, evoking vaudeville and burlesque. But soon clouds gather and it becomes a cri de coeur, crying justice in a voice first raised in 'The Trojan Women,' assaulting our comfort with a fierceness that would make Artaud or Brecht proud. This is theatre as the ancients of every race intended it -- strong soul medicine. I don't know a woman (or an LGBTQIA+ person) whom I would not warn about the show's many triggers. And I don't know a man I would let off the hook. See it. ...

This is a show that dances skillfully between moments of extreme darkness and irreverent comedy. It is one woman's coming of age story told through the three titular versions of herself, versions that represent either how she views herself or how she thinks the world expects her to be. Through issues of depression, sex, body image, societal norms, the characters explore whether love of another necessarily requires love of oneself....

I was swept away by three women playing the psyche of a girl growing into womanhood and facing body image issues, bulimia and trying to control the unpredictable world around them. The dark insecurities many young women face are told in a way that is both heartfelt, vulnerable but also quirky and fun. There is so much light in this show amongst the darkness. Wonderful writing and acting! A fantastic show!...

Definitely entertaining. Plenty of funny moments mixed in with some relatable cringeworthy awkward coming of age moments. And something should be said for the excellent taste in music cues. ...

Every now and then you encounter a piece of art that rocks your soul to the core. Crack Whore, Bulimic, Girl Next Door was that piece of art. Brutally honest, powerful, and thought provoking theater that every person should see. I laughed. I cried. I sang along to the music. It was absolutely wonderful. So I glad I saw it!...
