What I liked

Marianne Simon surrenders herself to this deeply personal subject matter with the grace of a butterfly and the strength of an ox. She gently weaves her story together with lyrical gestures, from-the-gut vocal control, and eyes that sparkle with life-affirming revelation that can only come from not getting over, but rather getting through grief. She is a masterful storyteller and a beacon of hope for anyone who needs to be reminded that all that matters in the end is love.

What I didn't like

I left the performance not wanting for anything. Satisfying from beginning to end.

My overall impression

To witness Marianne tell her story is a gift and a privilege.
