This was a beautiful and engaging show. Gordon uses music, dance and storytelling to deal with the topic of addiction and recovery. Yet, it is uplifting, with the postive messages of hope, self love and redemption.
The performers were lively and the music positive and upbeat.
Gordon show is a plea to spread more love and understanding, delivered in an entertaining way.
Great show...

I enjoyed it! I left confused, but the catchy songlets, positive energy, and indefatigable sincerity won me over.
To the newcomer I say: don't worry if you haven't seen the original No Matter Watt. It won't hurt if you haven't, and it won't help if you have.
Shubop feels like a topical revue, perhaps in the spirit of Hair. It's structured like an AA meeting, full of direct-to-audience confessions, fragments of personal journeys, chanted mantras, random hugs, and gobs of mutual support. Don't look for a coherent story, but there's definitely something appealing about this rough-hewn piece....

“Shubop” is the musical prequel to Gordon’s musical play of last year, “No Matter Watt.” The cast is quite good, with some great singing and dancing. Gordon’s introductory monologue is quite moving, and really is the “book” explaining the plot of the musical numbers. I would love to see both halves of this play put together, which Gordon is planning to do. Recommended !...
