What I liked

The humor. The engaging performance. The honesty and vulnerability. The visual inventiveness. The surprising story and emotional twists.

What I didn't like

Visual aids could be smoother. Probably opening night nerves. Will improve with more shows. Give Marla more shows!

My overall impression

Raised By Wolves is, from first moment to last, a captivating show. Marla’s performance is funny and powerful, and at its heart, vulnerable. Marla does a lot with a few simple props and music cues, successfully drawing us into her unusual and fascinating upbringing. The relationships Marla illuminates are engaging, poignant, and at their best, powerfully and darkly surprising. A highly enjoyable show, and one that stays with you long after it’s over.
