What I liked
I loved Amanda’s use of music woven throughout her show to transport the audience to moments in her youth. Her song selection was great and she has a very beautiful voice.
What I didn't like
The first few lines and scene watching TV could be a little “softer”… there was something theatrical about the beginning that doesn’t feel as authentic as so much of the rest of the play. There might be a way to ease the audience in – even energetically. This could just be the beginning of many one person shows but it felt like a wall we needed to get over, but once we did – we were in.
My overall impression
Clever, funny, heartbreaking and real! I loved it! Amanda takes the audience on a journey, playing with her personal timeline to tell a poingnant story about the ridiculous and raw moments of life. The music and frequent humor has you swaying and laughing alongside Amanda as she navigates the best plan to “find a husband”. Her performance is brave and inspiring. I highly recommend anyone see this for an hour of nonstop entertainment.
