Review by MICHAEL ZIEGFELD

June 11, 2011
IMPORTANT NOTE: We cannot certify this reviewer attended a performances of this show because no ticket was purchased through this website or the producer has not verified they attended.

My overall impression

It is clear the actor is seasoned. Most 1 person shows are horrible self serving and are only strong in the limited facets they are known for, missing out on other levels that a full production requires.

He worked extremely hard to accomplish a well rounded production in dialogue, performance and technical continuity. I appreciated that.

My one critique: As a performer and an accomplished director, I personally do not care for performers that end their shows, educating us about life. I am open to hearing what THEIR epiphany was for THEIR life, but even if it is legitimate (as opposed to a trite moment for theatrical closure), I rarely am open to receiving that information from an actor. Ghandi? Mendella? Yoda? OK.

Overall I enjoyed the work very much.
