Step right up and produce this one! This spectacle-driven play reminds us to be wary of all things that sparkle; that said, this piece is truly a gem. Kelly McBurnette-Andronicos, Ring-Master Extraordinaire, will leave audiences speechless as the worlds she creates are as breathtaking as the transitions between them. Completely immersive, dark, and yet riotously funny. I enjoyed the camaraderie between the three Weird Sisters: Lottie's malapropisms, Imperia's nicknames and Buddy's acerbic humor, as well as the meta-theatrical elements and the "new objectivity"/Cabaret-esque quality to the overall style of the piece. Brava! (Oct 23, 2024)

There’s nepotism & then there’s being Rasputin’s daughter. McBurnette-Andronicos plays the acrobat herself, dancing an enthralling & tantalizing absurdist playground in front of our (non-magical) eyes. Designers will particularly devour this play, but any in the room with it will too. There’s spectacle & deeply funny wit in every line, but also a grand musing on the nature of lies and blissful, willful ignorance, and how that makes true connection, however fleeting, mean everything. Brilliant.

Let’s say you’re an artistic director looking for a new play to engage and astound your audiences. You’d be wanting a playwright with confidence. One who can create a world, a realm (hell, even a viewpoint!) never before seen, but one familiar enough for theatre-goers to walk around in and enjoy. Here Kelly McBurnette-Andronicos offers up a three-ring circus of characters: some historical, some seeking what they’ve lost, some in literal pain. What’s real? What isn’t? I imagine Kelly dreams in color. Yep, neon color. Walk around in her world and you may, too.
