Bette Davis Ain't For Sissies

See it if you love Hollywood's heyday/Bette Davis. Sherr's show captures BD's fire/ambition, and presents her fight against the studio system. Fun bio

Don't see it if you dislike solo shows (uses phone often for expositn) or you've no interest in old Hywd. It's a snappy reminder of hurdles in a man's world

See it if you want to see the Hollywood heyday and BD . It is a well acted show. Based on the night of the Academy Awards.

Don't see it if If you don't like Bette Davis or that era. Or one women shows. A show that is high paced. a bigger production.

See it if you are interested in Hollywood's golden age and the life of a great star gifted with both charm and intelligence. Very well preformed

Don't see it if you dislike one person shows that depend on the audience's imagination to fill in the missing characters.

See it if If you like Bette David or if you love old Hollywood.

Don't see it if If you don't like small theater.

Also This show is upstairs and has stairs. They do had a chairlift. She does Bette Davis excellent and the first time I saw her she added more to the show. She is a very nice lady. Excellent show... Read more Read less

See it if Bette is portrayed so effectively I couldn't take my eyes off her. This is a smart intro to BD if you don't know her--even better if you do

Don't see it if If you don't care about Bette, or Hollywood in the 30s and 40s. This is a portrayal of Bette off screen, and it's convincing -- Brava!

See it if you're super into Bette Davis and are interested in seeing a one woman show that's clearly still developing.

Don't see it if So, I'm going to say medium things. Everything that could have gone wrong at this performance did. Missed sound cues. Cell phones galore...

Also Dropped lines. So it's hard for me to begrudge the actor for the rough time that she -- and I -- had. But even so, the show didn't feel tight. The transitions from scene to scene and through time were confusing. The 1939 Oscars framing doesn't make sense when covering her whole career. Still needs some editing work. Interested to see how it develops though. And the actor was a trooper and clearly cares deeply about this material. Rooting for her.... Read more Read less

See it if you have a thing for 30's and 40's movies, the star systems exploitation of female actors esp in light of current mores, terrific 1 wmn show

Don't see it if you don't care about BD, strong women who survive in male dominated world, think BD was childish when she lost 1940 Oscar to Vivien Leigh.

Also I saw this show almost a year ago and thoroughly enjoyed myself. I tried then to write a positive review so others could enjoy this very well done portrayal of a major Hollywood "personality" but Show Score came late to the party. Alas. It's closing on the 18th. Jessica Sherr is wonderful, barely ever over the top which is no mean feat given her subject. It is clearly a labor of love, and I loved it.... Read more Read less

See it if You like Bette Davis, classic Hollywood, or 1-person bio shows. A lot of research and time has gone into this.

Don't see it if You're not interested in those things. You want a traditional play.

See it if you want to learn more about Bette Davis's life and don't mind a show that feels like it's trying a bit too hard.

Don't see it if you want to see something polished and professional.

Also There were entertaining moments in this show, but on the whole, it fell a bit short.

Jessica Sherr works hard and gives it her all, but the role doesn't feel entirely natural on her. Her accent comes and goes, and in her attempt to mimic the fast-talking actresses of the '40s, it's often hard to understand what she's saying.

Still, Davis's life story is interesting, and while it was somewhat exhausting to watch Sherr putting in so much effort without commensurate results, I came away with more knowledge about an important entertainer of the past.... Read more Read less
