What I liked

Rebecca O’Brien knows how to move on stage. She brings us right into the scene with her. She has perfect control of her voice, her movements, her whole being. And it’s a very good, extremely personal story.

What I didn't like

I would have liked to know a bit more about some of the amazing still photographs that flash on the back wall. There’s one of Rebecca O’Brien in unusual, heavy makeup, looking like she’s just stepped out of Cirque du Soleil or a drag queen show – that character never made it into this show but certainly had me intrigued.

My overall impression

An outstanding and unusual one woman show. I was expecting fantastic comedy, as I’ve seen Rebecca O’Brien perform before – but this show is something greater – it’s all about the energy and love she ended up receiving from people on the bus as she was making her way through cancer treatments. It has very heartwarming moments, screamingly funny moments, and is crafted with so much love and appreciation for the human race – all presented with terrific style, physical control and masterful acting! Don’t miss this show!
