What I liked

The cast was really great across the board. They did a great job bringing these characters and the playwright’s absurdist take on LA navel-gazing bullshit culture to life.

What I didn't like

Some of the technical elements of the performance I saw were a bit bumpy. There was a chaotic energy to the show that worked sometimes but at other times left me feeling like I’d lost my bearings. The ending felt especially abrupt, and the Charo Vergara scene wasn’t as successful for me as I might have hoped.

My overall impression

Really funny writing and terrific cast
