Charming

While this show was lightly attended, I think it has more to do with the fact that it was a last minute fringe replacement and hasn't had much in the way of publicity. The show itself is simple and charming. If you want over-the-top comedy or huge spectacle, this isn't your show, but if you want to see honest and heartwarming storytelling, this is a nice show to see. I found the story heart-warming and, though there were some occasional fumbles in speech, it was a pleasure to hear and I'm glad I got to see it.

This is an amazing and fascinating journey. No fancy theatrics, just straightforward story-telling.

All Abord The A Train

This show deserves much more than one kitty. I think a lot more people would enjoy this show if they gave it a chance. There were only a handful in attendance at the performance we saw, but they seemed to be enjoying themselves, as did my partner and I. It's a monologue by a woman who's had an interesting, eventful life. There are no victims, just sharp observations about what it's like to be a daughter, wife and mother hauling three kids at their wits end through a TSA security check--and being taken care of by a compassionate Somali taxi driver at the other end of the journey. You won't forget the stories about Anglicans and the adventures of a wedding planner. If you can picture God as Edward Everett Horton, you ought to see this show.

Did she read my Diary?

Well she read her diary which was very similar to any other midlife mother's life diary.
