What I liked

Very clever, forth wall breaking concept here is a ton of fun and makes full use of the theater. The cast was fantastic, in particular Cory Comeaux Soto as the 50s housewife’s saucy alter ego. Consistently funny and the constant flow of new characters interrupting the proceedings keeps it fresh.

What I didn't like

A late interlude with a queer teen is touching and heartfelt but perhaps slows things down and could be trimmed.

My overall impression

Hilarious, insightful deconstruction of gender roles in advertising. The cast was stellar across the board!
