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.
