I'm a new fan. Raya Light's work is narratively and abdominally tight. Her
writing is sharp and funny. Steven Satyricon is the stand-out back-up for
his dancing and for staying on pitch. The glam costumes are as clever as
you'd expect from the esteemed Mr. David. The lip-synch is fun, but Raya's
truly touching finale shows she's got the pipes.

Raya Light, a crown jewel in the legacy of the Trannyshack Drag Performance
Artists, raises the bar in the smart, funny, searing musical satire of fame
The Unbearable Lightness of Raya at this years Fringe
Fesival. Actually she doesnt simply raise the bar, she twirls it like
a baton on fire. She Sings, She Dances and Shes got something to say!

I left feeling stunned and amazed after sitting in the front row. Raya Light
is a one of a kind performer and her show business is "for realz."
She's supported by a great cast (Trixxie, Steven, Audra - applauso!). I
definitely enjoyed the lesson on fame, hypocrisy and celebrities. Also,
I 1-800-LOVED the fat suit. A must see for anyone wanting something original
and relevant.

Seeing Raya's life all wrapped up into one hour made me realize just how
import she was not only as a cultural icon, but also as a beacon of morality.
It was such a treat to see her rise again to take a bow after her tragic
end. This is simply a MUST see for all who are interested in maintaining
true cultural literacy. Her performances were flawless as always as were
those of her cohorts.

This is a wonderfully wicked and funny show! Raya Light gives a tour de
force performance as...well...Raya, the ultimate psuedo-celebrity/media-whore
of our times. Her supporting cast shines and gives the production an added
(prescription-medicated) boost! Go see this show!

Raya Light's ego can only be overshadowed by her genius. One never knows
if the flashing and mixed lines are actually planned or just a part of the
show to make it that much funnier. When you see it, which you must, let
me know. Kudos to Frau Light and her remarkable cast and musicians!

Raya Light is truly a revolutionary, carving a trail for drag to soar to
new heights. She consolidates so many of her talents, her high-production
Trannyshack genius, her ruthless stand up comedy, her singing and dancing,
even her athleticism, into one raunchy labor of love that is the Unbearable
Lightness of Raya. Don't miss it.

Raya is an SF Fringe Favorite and as usual, her performance is definitely
one-of-a-kind, and her latest show is *not to be be missed* !!!
