LOVER

See it if you want to hear a winsome actress kiss-and-tell about her lifetime of lovers in an amiable but ultimately shallow 1-woman therapy session.

Don't see it if you expect wit, insight or deep thoughts on love, sex, relationships or self-actualization. [This is a pleasant diversion & not much more.]

See it if Robbins tries very hard to get us interested in her voyage from entitled princess to enlightened woman but both script & talent fail her

Don't see it if There are no new insights or discoveries in this story of female empowerment Author/actress has a flair for one-liners; piece as stand-up??

See it if you enjoy 1-person shows, intimate stories about women's inner lives and dysfunctional relationships, comfortable with sexual references

Don't see it if One woman show or you want alot of action.

Also I saw this play in October. It is now closed.

See it if you enjoy watching and listening to water drip from a leaky faucet.

Don't see it if you have a closet at home that needs to be reorganized or and oven that needs to be cleaned, because this a total waste of your time.

Also The Urban dictionary defines the word lovers as "two people who fuck and are friends and just another word for friends with benefits." The subject matter for this play was anything but about fuck buddies but rather about the string of boyfriends this one woman had on her search to finding the "love of her life." So the title of this play and the photo styling of this woman as a Samantha like Sex In The City character are COMPLETELY MISLEADING unsuspecting theatergoers, like myself, into thinking that we were coming to see a completely different kind of play than the one we found ourselves experiencing. I wasted my time and money sitting in a theater watching this piece of shit play which I can directly attribute the misleading marketing of the play to audiences with the suggestive salacious title of L.O.V.E.R. It should have been titled BOYFRIENDS of Men I've Dated. That's a play that I would have A.V.O.I.D.E.D. at all cost.... Read more Read less

See it if you're interested in one woman sharing her personal journey with love, sex, and life.

Don't see it if you need a cohesive structure. There were a lot of vignettes that, to me, didn't come together to be worth it overall.

See it if You like one woman autobiographical shows. Acting is excellent.

Don't see it if You don’t like raunchy dialogue. The show is advertised as an off color comedy. It is more of an autobiography.

See it if If you want to see a funny show about one woman's relationships. This show would probably appeal more to a woman than a man.

Don't see it if You expect big or lavish productions or if you do not care about love.

See it if you want to see a very well-acted, engaging, funny, REAL one-woman semi-autobiographical show about sexual development leading to maturity.

Don't see it if you don't enjoy one-person shows or aren't interesting in female perspectives or are prudish regarding descriptions of sexual encounters.

Also This is a very well-acted, one-woman show and Lori Robbins is authentic, engaging, funny and animated as she relates her life story from childhood to maturity. The set is very simple but effective.

I must concede, however, that I got a little restless at times during the long parade of lovers but, nonetheless, each of her lovers did have his own unique characteristics which many of us have seen in our own lives. The conclusion on good relationships was excellent (L.O.V.E.R. = Lasting, Open, Valued, Emotional, REAL).

In addition to lover relationships, there are many other thought-provoking relevant topics covered in this show. Parental influences in her life are introduced. Her own parenting experiences take center stage towards the end.

There is nothing particularly profound about what she says but it's definitely worth hearing as it is relevant to what many of us have experienced at some time in our lives.

One must give credit to Lori for her very engaging,one-woman performance.... Read more Read less

Don't see it if you don't want to listen to a woman talk about her life

Also Too long. Too much information. Could so with some condensing.
The woman who opened the show was funny and I expected the lead would be too. They had us practicing clapping and laughing as the show was being taped (for TV?).
They needn't have bothered - there was almost no laughing and only one instance of clapping.... Read more Read less

Also I was thoroughly engaged and enjoyed the whole play.

See it if you are in the mood for a short story narrative on looking back at ones sex life and challenges, wisdoms for women who are trying hard.

Don't see it if you don't like solo shows, although this one is easy to absorb, it's not tedious and we don't get bored watching it.

See it if you like one person confessional shows. The show evolved from a rather banal recitation of relationships to a deeper portrayal of a life.

Don't see it if you want a deep story although the show picked up midway and became far more interesting. Far too many Jewish stereotypes for my taste.
