Loved it. Why? I'll tell you. First off Priess is an amazing performer. She has a vibrant and vivacious presence, a great singing voice, and is charasmatic in both her singing and acting abilities. She on her own was a pleasure to watch. The show touches on some important and interesting subjects: homelessness and the idea/meaning of "home", mental illness and the healthcare system...she toys w/ the idea of "reality" w/ her "delusions" and possible "imaginary" band the Sticky Goldstars. The show manages to touch on these issues with a great and seemingly sincere sense of humor throughout which opens the door to think about the questions Priess is raising while she is not being pretentious in thinking she can answer them. All this in a format that combines great acting and great music/playing/singing. El Camino Loco is entertaining from start to finish and yeah, that's why I loved it.

I read all the reviews and have to beg to differ with all the 5 stars. High energy doesn't equate to good. The best parts of the performance was when the band (and the lead were just singing). There was no great plot and what the heck did the gorilla have to do with anything? If you do decide to go, you may want to sit further in the back. The vocals were muddled up front.

Trully bizarre, yet entertaining. Very interactive. LOVED the music =) It's like being at a rock show w/ a narrative performance. Having met Kym outside the show then watching her perform trully shows what an amazing and talented actress she is.

Great show!! Seen it twice - any words I'd try to use to describe it wouldn't do it justice. If anyone is old enough to remember Mary Waranov, et al, (The other freaky Andy Warhol people) who traveled with Velvet Underground on their Exploding Plastic Inevitable tour - these folks conjure up images of those people from outer space.

In fairness there were people at this show who did seem to genuinely ejoy it and found a lot of it hilarious. I wasn't one of them. Perhaps if one were younger or drunker , maybe just drunker or maybe had easy access to meds , a lot of the show is about meds and the failure to take same , this might have gone down easier. Imagine Charo's younger less fortunate sister who even the Nuns wouldn't take in and who's living on the streets and dealing with her demons as she won't stay on her meds and yet is still inspired to take her own show on the road. Four piece back up band , lots of energy ; loud energy. It's not unusual at the Fringe to get feedback that differs as to whether a show is to be enjoyed or endured.....This was enduring for me. Your tastes may vary.

A Gorilla providing oral pleasure to a woman suffering from Acute Latina Fixation Disorder, there is no other show like it! High engery performance from Priess will keep you smiling.
