What I liked
Great story, extremely well performed.
What I didn't like
The only times I was taken me out of the experience a tiny bit were the blackouts during which Jo made slight costume changes. They could have been done as the narrative continued, IMO, without the lights coming down. These changes don’t involve nudity, and honestly, every bit of business Jo makes on stage is worth taking in.
My overall impression
I loved it, and so did everyone else in the audience I was a part of. I won’t spoil the trajectory Jo’s story takes, but it’s a high-energy, engaging, hilarious journey. And yet, I cried a little at the end, because of the thoughtfulness of the story and the courageous vulnerability Jo invites us to see. Romance can sure be treacherous, and to get past the sometimes devastating turns it takes is no small feat. I really think you’ll love this story and this actress. Or you have no heart. There’s also a spot-on impression near the end that had me howling.
