I saw this play in 2019 and was blown away by the audience interaction and the blend of comedy and drama. I loved being able to read the stage directions and examples of what the original actor did. During this strange quarantine it was good to read a collection of random beautiful things. I’ll revisit this one again.

“If you live a long life and get to the end of it without ever once having felt crushingly depressed, then you probably haven’t been paying attention.”

“For the first time in my life I understood the lyrics of pop songs.”

“The fact that sometimes there is a perfect song to match how you’re feeling.” ( )
