What I liked

The storytelling is masterful. It is straight-forward, emotional, multi-layered, and due to the collaborative efforts of the writer, director, cast, and set decorators. All involved served the story first-and-foremost, which is an impressive feat!

What I didn't like

We were given candy after the show, whereas candy in the beginning might have been a nice treat! Why were they hoarding the candy?

My overall impression

This show contains multitudes. It is at once a reflection of our socio-political history, a spiritual quest, an expression of personal pain, and an example of quietly epic, confident storytelling. The direction is precise, bold, and respectful of the actors’ considerable talents. Most of all, though, the show is entertaining. It moves with an assured pace, and leaves you thinking about the experience afterwards.
