I really, really disliked this play. Mary Lynn essentially tells her story in such a way that she makes herself incredibly unlikable. I'm really bummed too! I read all of these great reviews on Goldstar and I just thought the whole thing was awful from start to finish. I cracked a smile maybe twice. I remember looking at the faces of the people in my row (the first row) and they were all the same. By the end of the play I was rooting against her. I really liked her before this. Now I just think she's emotionally immature, kind of crazy, annoying and not particularly bright or talented.Written on Jul 27 2010

A recent slice of Mary Lynn's life? True, partially true or untrue....who really knows for sure?Written on Jul 19 2010
At times funny, at times choppy and disconnected, overall short enough to not be boring. Inspiring? No. Laugh out loud funny? Occasionally. Entertaining? Sometimes. Value? You bet. A live performance in a marvelous facility for the same cost as a movie with a well known star is always a bargain. Sadly, the house was only about half full.
Other than a few laugh's this show didn't really speak to me on any level. It needs a lot of tweaking, during the performance I often found myself thinking "if they did this or changed that" it would be better, funnier. This was my least favorite Goldstar experience which is not to say it was bad, it just wasn't good.
PS: A minute after the show Mary Lynn came into the lobby area of the theatre and started meeting people and chatting. A patiently placed request for a photo was not refused or granted, it was completely ignored as she looked me in the eye when I made it and then walked right by without ever acknowledging me and never looked back. All she had to do was say "I'm sorry I don't do photos". Or wait in the dressing room for ten minutes after the show ended until we had left. It was very rude and turned all of us off.

I've seen a lot of one woman shows and I was amazed at Mary Lynn's ability to switch from character to character without a single prop or costume piece. The material is a scream, but also truthful. At the end you feel like you have been on a journey with her. Awesome show.Written on Aug 15 2010

I had read numerous reviews and knew exactly what to expect but Mary Lynn's performance seemed very uncomfortable (for her). It appeared to be forced, and over-rehearsed, she did not appear to be particularly at ease in conveying one's own life expericences ..... and these were not all that painful. We had seen Julia Sweeney in a similar type of one woman performance and her's was far more natural in its presentation of her life experiences. For Mary Lynn, it was only after it was over and she said a few impromptu words to the audience that did she open up and seem to be at ease. We really wanted to like it and the 2 stars are fairly generous.Written on Jul 12 2010
