Lucie Pohl: Hi, Hitler

See it if You're a fan of one person shows, especially ones where you learn all about the performer's life.

Don't see it if You're bored easily or want a little more depth to the character in a one person show. She had some unique moments that weren't explored.

See it if You enjoy one-performer, memoir plays. You like fish out of water stories. You want a play about growing up told in an unique way.

Don't see it if You don't like memoir stories. You want a play w/bigger production values.

See it if you are up for some laughs in a one-person show with an energetic performer who quickly plays many roles.

Don't see it if you want something serious or have a hard time keeping pace with a lifelong story told in 90 minutes.

See it if You want a fast moving one person show that is very ho hum. A few funny moments but not enough to carry the show.

Don't see it if You have an alternative entertainment option

See it if you like monologists. She is one of the best and her tale is wonderfully over the top. Brava!!!

Don't see it if one person shows are not your thing.

See it if You like expertly woven tale of a curious upbringing

Don't see it if You don't go to 1 person shows

See it if You enjoy unconventional people sharing unconventional life experiences. One woman morphs into many characters; Hitler is a brief reference.

Don't see it if You prefer Donna Reed storylines, quirky isn't 'your thing,' you don't identify with outsiders, or need a happy/final ending.

Also Lucie Pohl is a cult figure for many computer game fanatics (she is widely known as a major character in a major game), and her family - many of whom she conjures up in this piece - is theater royalty in Germany. This 70 minute show is remarkable, but will have an added twist for anyone who wished their 'boring,' dinner-on-time families were more bohemian; Lucie takes you to the other side of the Looking Glass to show you what it was like living in a family of artists. This show can be as superficial as you like, or as deep as you care to go. The title makes for great click bait, but it doesn't really tell you what to expect. On the other hand, I'm not sure what would, so...Hi, HItler!... Read more Read less

See it if You enjoy one person shows of interesting family history and the challenges of the immigrant experience.

Don't see it if If you want dramas with clear story arc and strong plot.

See it if Like Tracey Ullman, Lily Tomlin? Catch Lucie's wacky, serio-comic, showbiz family. Interesting, insightful: it's not Fun with Adolph.

Don't see it if You want a sitcom, or if you don't like memoirs or standup or high-energy one-woman shows. Otherwise, it's terrific.

See it if If you like funny one women shows.

Don't see it if You discriminate immigrants or hate jews

Also The plot is great except for the way the characters spoke. The writing is funny itselfthere's no need to accentuate with excessive screaming and funny faces.
Direction can do it better.... Read more Read less

See it if You like v funny fast paced solo show about a German Jew growing up in a "not normal" v dramatic family. Great physical storytelling/accents

Don't see it if You don't like one woman shows- tho she plays all the characters really well and over the top. You want a classic staged drama.

Also Bring layers- the theatre is cold.

See it if You like solo shows

Don't see it if You hate immigrants

See it if you like one person shows, comedy

Don't see it if Comedy with 4 letter words

See it if You like an amusing, energetic one-person autobiographical show that questions where one fits in (and what lengths one will go to).

Don't see it if you don't care for one-person autobiographies.

See it if you like one woman shows. Ms. Pohl is quite talented in portraying a myriad of characters replete with different accents and mannerisms.

Don't see it if you are looking for a big production with intense.themes. This show explores important issues in a lighthearted way.

Don't see it if you hate fluffy one person shows

See it if You like a great one woman show. She is really very talented and her story is wonderful. Really entertaining evening!

Don't see it if You aren't a fan of one person shows.

See it if You like light-hearted, energetic plays.

Don't see it if You want a clear storyline or purpose.

Also Pohl was at times funny, but I found the way she played characters of her childhood (herself, her friends) extremely annoying instead of endearing. Lots of kinks need to be worked out for this to be a successful show.... Read more Read less

See it if like high energy and quick wit! Lucie Pohl was a tour de force!

Don't see it if you have a hard time keeping up with a quick pace!

See it if quirky memoirs interest you. Lucie is Mercy's voice actress in Overwatch! Her VO skills are on full display here, playing many characters.

Don't see it if one-person shows aren't enough to hold your interest for an hour and change, and you prefer a straightforward narrative.

See it if you want a well-delivered, fun and mildly autobiographical story. It's even more interesting for Germans, but works for everyone.

Don't see it if You want profound and extremely serious. You want plot instead of meandering anecdotes.

Also (Disclaimer: Saw her performing this in 2014 in the 3B Development Series, it might be even tighter now)... Read more Read less

Don't see it if you are offended by cursing or dark humor.

See it if you like a funny story about a German girl's journey to live in NYC
