Play: Toasted
Reviewer: Lynn Schulson

Rating: 4 Stars
Toasted, the story of an Internet murder case, was worth more than the price of admission. This true story, is about those times when our character is truly tested by the situations in which we find ourselves.

Elisa DeCarlo, the writer and one-woman cast, is a phenomenon. She is successfully able to slip into a variety of characters, personalities and mannerisms with the greatest of ease. I don't know how she kept them all straight. After a while, I felt like I knew them personally. I am sure everyone knows a 'Goddess'. The whole show comes full circle, and even the victim is not forgotten during the turmoil. The story was well written and concise with humor, suspense and a healthy dose of reality stranger than fiction, but she has to do something about her hair.

If you have the chance to see Toasted, you will not be disappointed. You will toast Elisa DeCarlo and when you're done, you'll whisper, "˜That makes one."

An unbelievable story told in a really crazy, unbelievable way! I was at the edge of my set sometimes, waiting for the next bit of information to be revealed.
When suddenly someone's ordinary life becomes extraordinary, only to crash down to ordinary again!!

You must see this show! A compelling true story about murder in cyberspace and one woman's often hilarious efforts to deal with secrets that nobody else wants revealed. Elisa DeCarlo's performance is exceptional. You'll be telling all your friends about this one!

This play blew my mind. I can't recommend this show enough. It is an increadible story-- which is ironic, because it's real! This all happened around Ms. DeCarlo(who wrote it and plays all the characters). It's equally nightmarish and truly hilarious... Monsters are real, and we are closer to them than we like to think. Go. You'll be changed.

Excerpted from a review in the August 21, 2001 Village Voice, where it was reviewed as part of a double bill at HERE.

"Unusual and engaging...a great memoir told well. Self described as a 'fat,
disgruntled alternative comic', ...this, she explains in ""Toasted", is why
she drinks and why she joins a self-help group called Moderation Management,
an organization for people concerned about their drinking but who don't want
to give it up entirely. Unsatisfied with the live meetings, she gets hooked
on the email list, where she rises to 'list mommy' among a group of 200, many
of whom post while sloshed. During a particularly bad binge, a list member
named Larry confesses online to his daughter's murder, and the now familiar
ethical dilemmas of such confidential sharing circles arise. As many in film
have discovered, email is inherently undramatic. DeCarlo's writing, however,
does a good job of bringing the electronic transmissions to life as a
story...Despite the tale's chilling payoffs, DeCarlo leaves all the moral
ambiguities intact." James Hannaham
