Saw it tonight and loved it, just like I did at Second Stage.
The woman has such a special ability to tell stories and effortlessly move from laughter to tears, then back again. She's such a unique performer. Highlights remain the story about her cousin Jerome and the youtube bit. But really, the whole thing is a joyous 90 minutes. Scott should absolutely win the Tony this year for Best Actress, though I'm not sure she will. Far and away the best performance by an actress onstage this year.
I didn't notice any changes from 2nd Stage, other than the fact the Foley no longer enters from the audience.
The only disappointment, and there was nothing that could be done about it is the fact that Eamon Foley's voice dropped since 2nd Stage. He had to sing the end of Strongest Suit in a different key, which made it slightly less funny. But puberty is inevitable.
Just a fabulous evening, from start to finish. I can't wait to go back again.
