    Maximalist, bananas, delicious, vivacious, laugh out loud funny. A queer explosion of bonkers farcical hilarity. I will never see J*jo S*wa the same way again.

    Saw this at Summerworks and tang captures the uncanny shitshow that is being alive when you didn’t ask to be born amidst the capitalist apocalypse of now with so much precision (and humor).

    Delicious, dizzying, harrowing, I did not sign up to be perceived in this manner. Grounded and also madcap raucous wild theatrical. A freakin' feat.

    It's hard to stop thinking about this play once you've encountered it: it's sticky, gooey, its remnants cling to you. Happy Life is at deliciously dense but also so playful, horrifying and hilarious. It feels like what it feels like to be alive right now -- everything melting into cosmic soup and bureacracy and nightmares.

    This play is at once tight and sprawling, super focused and wild/raucous. It captures a certain kind of delicious Jewish American humor SO well -- the sad-happy, deranged-joyful of it. Really complicated and yet also a total romp.

    This play is outrageously funny, whip-smart, and wholly original. Really ambitious and also so well-paced and well-structured. Also just a lot of fun.

    This play is elusive, slippery, disorienting, strange -- all the things I crave in a play.

    This surprising play is exceptionally well-crafted. Tight, perfectly paced, and very deft. I likewise appreciated how the characters resist simple stereotypes, and the play itself resists judgement. It’s also very, very funny.

    It was such a privilege to be involved in this play as a student. A haunting, beautiful, spellbinding piece. The opportunities for creativity in this play from a production standpoint are boundless. It challenged and inspired the cast, crew, and audience in a really special way.
