Funny, Clever, Touching

See it if you enjoy solo shows & are Jewish. This wouldn't play well to non-Jews, but all NYers are honorary MOTs. Poignancy of cancer and adoption.

Don't see it if broad humor annoys you. Piper is big-hearted and as her dad told her, "You're funny, kid." Not everything lands, but enough does.

Funny, Hilarious, Clever, Great writing, Thought-provoking

See it if You're Jewish; you know at least 1 Jew; or you know that Jewish people exist in the world. You like a One-Woman Show. You like Jewish humor.

Don't see it if You don't like seeing one-person performances. You don't have a sense of humor. You like to see more traditional "Stand-Up-Comedy" Shows ;~)

Don't see it if You expect real hilarious standup intense laughter or really funny Jewish humor ala Joan Rivers, Rodney Dangerfield, or Catskills' style. Read more

Entertaining, Disappointing

See it if you want to see what a bright Jewish woman has created for her one woman show.

Don't see it if you dislike one woman shows. you have seen plays many about being Jewish. It didn't seem that funny to me.

Cliched, Disappointing, Entertaining, Amusing, Indulgent

See it if You want to wax nostalgic about growing up Jewish in the Bronx in the 50's. Are feeling guilty because you don't go to temple.

Don't see it if You're under 50 and can still tie your own shoelaces and you don't have an aging parent with you.

Funny, Banal, Disappointing, Overrated, Fluffy

See it if Enjoy one person shows. Are a cultural Jew who thinks that eating bagels and lox and chopped liver are authentic Components of Judaism.

Don't see it if You are tired of the idea that eating bagels and lox and chopped liver Is what Judaism is all about. Or if you favor traditional values.
