What I liked

I loved the thoughtful ways she did costume changes, in that silly hilarious suitcase ( I feel like I was the only one who aprpeciated that rolly suitcase ) as well as the 4 minute video! Like, who thinks to do that? So smart and amazing. I love the mourning wife character and I loved the finale grotesque burlesque preganant strip tease with the child birth. I mean, THE ATTENTION TO DETAIL! To the beats of music. I loved that

What I didn't like

I know this was meant to be silent traditional clown, but the one time she broke her silence and said " GET OUT!" was so joyous and wanted and needed. I wanted slightly more verbal, even sounds were so wanted and enjoyed. A little bit more of that would be fun and still not kill the anticipation perhaps. But honestly, that is all. I just loved her so much I wanted to hear from her.

My overall impression

Absolutely positively brilliant, highly recommended silent clown show. Traditional yet completely weird and unique in a true artisanal fashion. I loved every single moment of this Terrible Show and I am fully a Bonnie Fan . She made this soo special and sexy and awkward and polished. It seems like this is over 4 years in the making so I applaud her commitment to her wonderful work. This performance had uproarious applause and laughs throughout. It was so much fun.
