I would have given this 4 or 5 stars if it hadn't been so repetitive. Or
if it had ended earlier and all the pieces been shortened. If they'd permit
it, arrive 10 minutes late and leave for 10 minutes in the middle and you'll
still see everything.

Blue Sofa was a bit disappointing for me. The main message they were sending
was very interesting, but I got the point 20 minutes into the play and the
rest of the play was spent trying to figure out if there was something "more"
that they were trying to communicate. In the end, I don't think there was
anything else, they were just expanding on the same point over and over
again. Hey, but maybe I didn't get it, it's just my opinion.

O.K., I admit it, I think Mary Armentrout is totally great! I got to see
Blue Sofa earlier this year when Mary premiered it at The Lab, and Ive
invited all my friends to venture down to Venue 9 with me and and any lucky
Fringers who can get a seat. With her polished ensemble of player/dancers
(including improv cellist/singer Merlin Coleman and dancer Alan Grant),
Mary creates a shining and surreal universe of words at play, furniture
on the move, walks on the beach, and the faint whisper of love emerging
from material clutter of the new millenium. Go, go, go to this show! You're
in for a real treat, and I promise you'll never look at a box of breakfast
cereal the same way again. (If you still aren't sure, see http://www.urbanview.com/05.08.02/armentrout-0219.html)
