Song of Me

    Saw the world premiere of this in Houston and can confirm, it's a stunning, important, charismatic work of theatre, that attracted new audiences in droves. Charming, funny, and savory, you don't see the emotional gut punches or the deep riffs on multi-cultural identity coming. It's new and timely, but it's also one of the strongest examples I've seen in ages of a good old fashioned "fly on the wall for a night of family intrigue" plays, that sticks the landing with a 100% earned feel-good ending
