A great heartwarming show! Hal is exceedingly vulnerable and endearing on stage and makes you laugh in all the best ways. Loved the way he invites the audience in to be a part of his journey.... full review

It’s genuinely down to earth. And, a hell of a tell-all. Cantor practically inverts inside-to-out in a glorious, self-effacing expose of himself. ... full review

Not knowing anything about this show, I was very pleasantly surprised. Right off the bat we are taken aback by Hal's honesty and vulnerability. He's not only hilarious, but in your face, brutally honest. It's a real fascinating story to watch and Hal, through the direction of Ralph, takes us on this very personal story as we watch him discover himself. There's lovely moments of calm, mixed with over the top moments of anxiety. It's lovely. ... full review

Hal's show is a beautifully crafted and lovingly told tribute to the truth that we're never really done growing up. His performance is honest and from the heart, his stories are hilarious and relatable, and the show is a smooth blend of warm melancholy and hope. Hal reminds me of storytellers like David Sedaris and Mike Birbiglia. I loved it, and Hal is an easy performer to love.... full review

CRAIG HOETGER certified reviewer June 04, 2023
This was an amazing show. A funny, smart, deeply moving account of one man’s journey coming out as bisexual in his 40s, navigating the strange new world (for him) of online “dating”, finding love again, and dealing with the devastating sudden loss of his ex-fiancée/best friend. ... full review
