Schmaltzy & Princie: Diary of a Not-So-Great Daddy's Girl

eli hans · June 13, 2022 certified reviewer
This is a very beautifully written show about the tender relationship between daughter and daddy. But it’s more than that. It’s a relatable story about how we all have those inner voices that keep us small, if we let them. And more than anything, the beautiful power of healing through forgiveness. Every person in the audience can improve their lives just by integrating that beautiful message. Well done!... full review

CALL ME ELIZABETH

Wow! This performance is stunning at every level. The nuanced speech pattern of the time, Kayla’s gorgeous embodiment of Elizabeth, and it’s truly beautifully well written. The set is simple yet classy, and from the moment she enters, we are magically transported to the past, watching Elizabeth Taylor, sharing intimate aspects of her life. I was absolutely mesmerized from beginning to end. Brava Kayla! A truly stellar show and performance. Could see it again!... full review

Too Big For Her Britches

eli hans · June 10, 2022 certified reviewer
A beautifully honest, brave and vulnerable piece about having the courage and wisdom to finally love and accept ourselves. Lisa is 100% committed to every character, as she explores very personal and challenging moments of her past. Finally, through lots of inner work, she discovers true love in herself and in her life mate. Her songs are great, physicality and vocal quality of each of her many characters, and it is very cleverly staged. It’s funny, poignant, and beautifully written. A beautiful... full review

CAMP GINGER: AN ORIGINAL MUSICAL

eli hans · June 10, 2022 certified reviewer
A perfectly charming piece. Steve has a wonderful Broadway voice, the songs are clever (often with hints of Sondheim, Maltby and Shire.) Great fun meeting all of his characters, so well thought out and executed. A beautiful story of not belonging and finally learning to love and accept ourselves for exactly for who we are. So glad we got to see Steve in action in this tender work. ... full review
