I loved the song choices, your beautiful singing voice, the range of emotions…and as an alcoholic/addict myself, I could identify with wanting to never come out of the self-imposed cave, and recover. But oh how sweet it is once we do it. I also think you can go through any type of life trauma, not just alcoholism, and relate to wanting to be in your own cave out of fear and pain. Many people could relate and identify with this show.
What I didn't like
The energy in the first half of the show is so incredible and it really reels you in…then things get very heavy about 2/3’s into the show – so maybe somewhere around 5-10 minute before it’s over, to get really pulled back in to her energy/space where we’re more a part of it, vs. witnessing the emotional content, might be an opportunity to get that connection again. It’s set up so clearly and beautifully in the beginning, with the drawing of the audience – and it’s is so charming and engaging – I think leaving on some type of “engaged/connected” note with Gloria (even if it’s in a darker emotional place), would be interesting. Just a thought. It was really quite beautiful as it was written and performed.
My overall impression
Cave Girl “The Musical” was magic! Thank you for your honesty, vulnerability, your “hey bitch” drunk voice (which was my favorite), and for putting all of you into this performance and out into the world for us all to witness. It was funny, smart, brave and REAL.
