See it if you want to see an actress and a play whose performance and words will long me ringing in your ears after you leave the theater.

See it if You want to see a great one actor show. Truly remarkable in the portrayal of the different characters…
Don't see it if If you do not like one actor shows.
See it if You enjoy seeing a genuine talent superbly play 6 roles, with powerful touching dialogue. Excellent period piece with such insight
Don't see it if You have a problem with one man shows. Or have no interest in the civil rights era
See it if watching one girl playing many parts from age 12 to 15, while listening to the soundtrack of rock'n'roll in sixties in NYC sounds exciting
Don't see it if if you don't have a heart for either NYC or a character growing up in the big city
See it if You enjoy one person shows. Besides the very interesting staging Felicia Curry does a wonderful job playing several people authentically.
Don't see it if You enjoy comedies or plays with many actors performing
See it if Solo performer reenacts her adolescence, friends & parents in middle class Queens. I was transported to her wide-eyed world & loved the ride
Don't see it if You wouldn't enjoy a bio where one performer plays all the parts, or the perspective of an intellectual black teenage girl in the 60’s.

Whether frenetically dancing, rhapsodizing over Nancy Drew, fretting about when she’ll wear a bra or reacting horrified upon learning about sex, Ms. Curry performs with the verve of Lily Tomlin in her prime. Curry’s rich portrayal of Jaqueline Marie Butler captures the wonderment of childhood amidst harsh realities and the physical and emotional upheavals of adolescence. A matter-of-fact confession that Jaqueline has been molested is a chilling highlight.

"The life of Jaqueline Marie Butler (Felicia Curry), a.k.a. Jackie or Jack, is presented from the stoop of her house at 2933 Erickson Street, Queens, from pre-puberty through adolescence into adulthood in the exceptional one-person monologue 'Queens Girl in the World.' Set to the music of Motown, the audience was mesmerized while Curry transformed herself into a litany of characters, taking on mannerisms and voices of people who influenced and shaped her life from the early 1960s to the civil rights movement during that decade."
