wow! IN MY LIFE actually got 1 positive review!
"Well quite frankly we were all blown away by everything and everyone. We loved the music, the staging and most of all the talent in this crazy production which involves the lives of this couple who experience such things as the boy going through an out-of-body experience when he almost dies from a bout with a tumor and their involvement with heaven, God and fellow who wants to make their life story into an opera.
Wow! A great deal of the show does take place in heaven-here represented by at least 200 file drawers- and the rest of the action revolves around the flat our two lovers are living in. There’s pirates, one dearly departed little girl who belts out songs like a rock singer and she’s only 13, her dead mother and a bunch of other weird characters that are up there on stage; somehow when you throw them all together the whole thing works.
The two main characters, Jessica Boevers who we last saw as Ado Annie in Oklahoma, and Christopher J. Hanke as the boy who’s hilariously stuck on the Tourette inspired line Suck duck and you know what, are superb. I don’t mean great; I mean superb. So I’m urging you to go see this unbelievable production that is so vastly different from anything you have seen before...I stand by what I say and I say this is in my mind is the surprise hit of this Broadway season or any other season for that matter. In my life I have rarely seen anything better!"

This is sad, just sad.
