What I liked

Everyone was connected to the piece and each other. I could see everyone’s heart. These actors truly wanted to be on that stage telling that story.-I also loved how cinematic the piece was, there was a lot of humor as well. It was extremely well written. Kept me invested throughout, and I would see it again!

What I didn't like

The ending scene where the mothers patient comes into the house…it seemed unnecessary. I really feel they should’ve let the son at least fully attempt to use what in his bag and have the son from the 70’s intervene by sabotaging it in his time.-I also did not like the fact that 70’s mom stayed with the dad. Nor did I like 2021 mom staying with her husband. They should’ve both left those dudes. If the universe was crying out for folks to make a change…those are the changes. Those men had their issues yes but, they’re still not all that great.-I definitely think the same hopeful ending could’ve been achieved, even with some sadness attached.

My overall impression

I loved this show! It was a really cool adventure. They brought another world with them onstage. True magic! This should be a musical. I saw several places where songs could go.
