Come Back to the Five and Dime Jimmy Dean Jimmy Dean by Woman Seeking ...

directed by Christine Mosere

I was reluctant going in to this show - I had heard how it was uneven, and the original had not been particularly successful.

I was quite surprised. A very fun evening - solid direction, solid performances, and the play is quite entertaining. It's a little soap-opera-y, the ending was pretty clear once the big secret is revealed ... but the journey was quite fun. Always a pleasure to watch Kate Szyperski (Mona), she has a way to take you with her and totally suck you in, and Eleanor Moseley played the part of the tart deliciously. I was also blown away by Alyssa Kay's performance as the younger Mona.
