See it if One man act where he plays 2 different characters. The acting is superb and the actor is totally absorbed and invested in this role.
Don't see it if You you don't like small, off Broadway productions with little to no scenery. Read more
See it if You like one-man shows, you want a reminder of what matters in life.
Don't see it if You expect a big show, you can't tolerate a mad scene.
See it if U like one actor show with great intensity that is heavy going.
Don't see it if If you're looking for an evening of fun.
See it if you want to see a wonderful solo performance. The writing is literally poetry and there is a part of the story that is very touching.
Don't see it if you're expecting a plot. Also, the show could be tightened up and it would have more impact.
See it if Want to watch a near bravura perf, a meditation/rant on life, or are willing to consider the "What if me?" scenario.
Don't see it if Don't like intense, solo show needing some internal editing, want light/fluffy, can't sit for 90 mins on uncomfortable seat. Read more
See it if You like you like a one person show spiced it up with poetry /rap style.
Don't see it if You don't like resonant stories about trust and love.
See it if U can go on a journey w/a master of the universe turned ex-felon, poetry spitting homeless guy, who finds his truth. The actor is compelling
Don't see it if A play in rhyme bores U. The rhymes can be repetitive. The first half gets slow. The emotion of the story of his friend Mars enlivens you.
See it if you like 1 person shows that have a psychological impact and make you think about some of what was said...
Don't see it if you don't like words spoken at a very frantic pace, or if you want a show with fun sets and interesting costumes... Read more

“A spectacular show that takes the audience on a journey of self-discovery. Richard Hoehler does a splendid job of captivating the audience through his enthralling performance....The fact that Hoehler's performance is so strong throughout the entire show is a remarkable feat...RJ Bartholomew did an incomparable job writing the play. The fact that Bartholomew touched upon such poignant lessons in such a charismatic, fresh way - as if with ease - is absolutely worthy of admiration.”

“The actor’s words tumble out in a tour de force of writing and performance…He also inserts moments of gracefully executed dance or well-sung snatches of old pop tunes…The material…can’t avoid taking on a New Age aura redolent of the more simplistic side of 1960s hippiedom, especially when our man implies that…the solution to the world’s woes is ‘love.’ The actor’s epic recital toward the end…is so powerful, it makes up for any momentary weaknesses elsewhere in the show.”

“An articulate, rhythmic, acrobatic 75-minute protest against every kind of distraction which makes up the fabric of our lives…Actor Richard Hoehler puts in a passionate, stellar performance of RJ Bartholomew’s tour-de-force script, guided by Janice Goldberg’s direction. The nameless performer acts out for us in contemporary trappings a wisdom narrative as old as the Epic of Gilgamesh…See this.”

“Mr. Hoehler mines the depths of this extended ‘urban poem’ and delivers the richness of the text with absolute perfection, giving the words precisely the power needed to convey the poet’s meanings…It is not possible to escape the intensity, the importance, the veracity of Mr. Hoehler’s character...Goldberg keeps the performance as visually interesting as it is emotionally and spiritually significant…This stunning performance piece should be on every serious theatergoer's must-see list."
