Seattle Paramount Nov 9, 2022
Wow! Blew me away! I absolutely loved it! Can’t recommend it enough! I’ve never seen a play try to tackle the idea of intergenerational trauma from sex assault and do it in a way where you leave feeling hopeful that things can change. As a survivor, it was really moving for me and I just wanted to say thank you. It made me feel a sense of power and support that I can’t explain and embodied a lot of the ways alanis’s music has allowed me to feel angry, strong and seen over the years.
Powerful, real and nostalgic
I read the reviews before going to the show and was kind of worried. A lot of them said the play was disjointed and too dark. I think they missed the point and maybe had never actually listened to the album because it’s about rage, relationship conflict, and self discovery. I also have been to a fair amount of plays and I think this was the best play I have seen in a long time. The singers were incredible, the story line fluidly fit in the songs in a moving way, they had a great balance between heaviness and humor, there was a live band on stage, the choreography was amazing and helped convey a lot of the story line and raw emotions, and it brought up relevant topics that have touched many of our lives. Also if you grew up in the 90s it really takes you back. Expect to laugh, cry, and want to sing along. The one critique I will agree with is that there were some parts where it was hard to hear the words over the music.
Amazing show
I love Alanis and her music! This production did not disappoint! The cast covered sexual assault, drug addiction and so many pressures faced in today’s society . I had many emotions crying, cheering, dancing and laughing. I thought it was done tastefully. Great talent with singing and choreography! My favorites were You Oughta Know and Uninvited! The Uninvited singing and choreography, was showstopper! Goosebumps, so raw! Highly recommend!
Exceeded Expecations
I went to this show not knowing the premise of the storyline at all. I went b/c Alanis was my college anthem and loved the cd from start to finish. The show blew me away, from laughing to crying to cheering to taking a deep breath feeling all the feels. I want to see it again.
Honest and Revealing - Powerful -
WOW! What an amazing, emotional, heavy, real, stomach turning, (Chris says "honest & revealing) play. The cast was incredible!!! One of the best dance scenes ever! Tears rolling down our faces. (Couch scene.) Minneapolis Orpheum Theatre
Phenomenal!
I had no idea what to expect going into this show (other than the trigger warnings email I received prior to the show). All I knew was I love the music. I was blown away. I have seen many shows and this was hands down my favorite. The music, vocals, cast and message were so powerful!! 100 percent worth seeing!
