What I liked

The back-and-forth between our leading man and Jim, the Stage Manager. It’s so clever and cynical. And the moment when there is a real emotional connection near the end is a great payoff.
It makes a beautiful statement about artists and the ways so many of us cope with depression.

What I didn't like

Some of the songs went on a little longer than they needed to, but mainly because it seems like Jim would have something to say about it.

My overall impression

Fun show. It’s inside-jokey for theatre people, and especially Fringers, but still clever and funny enough to be accessible to others.
