What I liked

Her ability to spin comedy into drama and back again is truly remarkable. The way she used the stage and gave each character a separate and specific personality was a delight to watch.

What I didn't like

I wished we could see more of Stella in the show. :)

My overall impression

GETTING THERE! is a theatrical experience that sweeps the audience on an unforgettable journey, both on and off the bustling LA buses. Rebecca O’Brien’s heartfelt retelling of her personal battle with cancer is a poignant, funny, and deeply authentic exploration. Through her storytelling, the show delves into the profound kindness of strangers, the transformative power of friendship, and the unwavering resilience of the human spirit. Rebecca’s performance is nothing short of mesmerizing, effortlessly bridging the gap between the intricacies of her own journey and the universal human condition. “Getting There” is a must-see for anyone yearning for a deeply observed saga that brims with laughter, tenderness, and unfiltered truth. Prepare to be moved, uplifted, and profoundly inspired by this show that resonates long after the curtains fall.
