This show was sad, and funny with a touch of beauty here and there. The actors do a wonderful job providing an authentic look into the couple's private life. The dance pieces blend nicely into the narrative, furthering the story without the need for dialogue. Good work to all involved!... full review

The specificity of the relationships and idiosyncrasies of the characters endeared me to the story and I found myself laughing through much of the show because of the humor they illuminated from the truth. The choreography was also HOT because it was never just movement; there was always relationship being explored between the actors in dynamic ways that allowed me to feel it, and not just see it. ... full review
