AND... OUT OF THE BLUE — A Miraculous MUSICAL

Great art is both specific and universal. Out of the Blue was very specifically Eli's story, one told with passion, humor, insight, detail and great talent, but judging by my own and the audience's response, Out of the Blue spoke to us, resonated with each one of us too. That something so autobiographical, so personal, could be so fascinating is terrific; that something so autobiographical and personal could also be so relevant to every audience member . . . well, this is what makes great theater. And to see this play live, in such an intimate space, was a gift. (That being said, Out of the Blue could easily be performed just as effectively on a much larger stage. Absolutely.)... full review

This show has something that I believe almost everyone can relate to, whether it be about the fears of surviving a deadly disease, never finding true love, or loosing someone you desperately love, among others. It was performed with such honesty. You left feeling that Eli Hans had just opened up his heart to you. His engaging stage presence and lovely voice made for a great performance and very enjoyable show. Eli Hans and Joseph Bennett gave us all food for thought about healing and persevering though life's hardest and darkest times. I highly recommend this show to anyone with a heart! ... full review

This show is spectacular!!! It is a love story.... to love and be loved. A range of emotions from laughter to tears. The lessons of fear and shame are relatable and an important take aways from Eli's story. This not only a story of one mans journey, it is an important message of struggle, personal growth, acceptance, resilience and self love. More people need to see this show, especially teens and young adults, and be touched by the raw and vulnerable performance. ... full review
