What I liked
Lorelei’s ability to be someone we all know and recognize.
What I didn't like
It was so wonderful I wish it had been longer but this was not a negative at all and would love to see her do all character changes onstage.
My overall impression
To watch Lorelei onstage is to witness a woman not afraid to reveal all the pieces of herself. A woman who allowed her vulnerability to be on full display. It was an incredible experience to be in the audience. There is this Lucille Ball quality to her, the ability to be incredibly funny while using self-caricature to enter the truth of what it means to be human—the resonance of one’s experiences and seeing them in real time. This is a magical piece that will continue to expand. When Lorelei opened her mouth and began to sing, it was an immediate emotional transportation. My heart fluttered as I did not expect to hear her sing, and there she was, this glorious light onstage that had brought the room to stillness. It was a true shock when the piece ended, for I could have sat in that theatre with no awareness of time until the sun went down.
