Absorbing, Ambitious, Quirky, Thought-provoking

Don't see it if You want a very linear script. The script is disjointed and rambles a bit, but pulls together at the end. A heartfelt show.

Touching, Uncomfortable, Nice supporting musicians, Bittersweet, Inventive set

See it if you like small-scale, moving shows dealing with mental illness, loss and love. The cast, set and supporting musicians-it all falls together.

Don't see it if you need something big and shiny. If you don’t like bittersweet stories and prefer straightforward comedies.
