Superbly done. It was charming, poignant, funny and incredibly informative. Rebecca was so brave to tell her story with such heart and such great humor. I can't recommend this show highly enough and especially for people who have been through a breast cancer scare or have loved ones who have been through it. I am so lucky that I got to see this production!...

heartwarming but needs work
Funny in parts, heartwarming in parts, but the script needs work to turn it into a play. It acks dramatic structure, which it need not, because the parts are there. For example, were the Bristol Farms scene broken into three four parts, it could provide the scaffold: 1) broke and exhausted, she needed to find a way to feed herself, is envious of customers at Bristol Farms; 2) weeks later, at BF again, she discovers the free samples strategy, including complimenting the tattoos; 3) late or end of play, in remission, she returns to BF with her own tattoo....

This is a super special show. It’s fascinating, shaped beautifully, heartbreaking and heart healing with more healing than breaking. You will be glad you chose to spend the time to see it as it is time well spent. What Rebecca has created with Getting There is EXACTLY what a solo performance should be about- it’s brave and irreverent and truly could only be told by the woman that wrote it....
