5review = Funny, but yet serious. It will make you laugh and cry. Eugene Paulish was superb in his performance as well as did a wonderful job writing the play. The director Michael Kearns is also superb. A must see performace, I will keep Eugene Paulish's name in my mind for future performances.

5review = Strange show. Diverting, with a few very funny lines and never boring but doesn't come together. A 40 something gay man tells the story of a failed romance that took place 20 years ago.We keep expecting some payoff, some surprise revelation that either makes the story unusual or givesit some meaning beyond the personal. Why is Eugene still so angry and obsessed 20 years later? That question is never really asked. Whats fascinating about the show is the writer performer doesn't seem to get that his betraying ex boyfriend is a more interesting character than he is. If this were a friend telling you this story over dinner ( which in a good way it sometimes seems to be) you'd say, Come on Eugene what's really going on here? Maybe in Part V we'll find out.

5review = Dull story told in an unimagative style. So
some posessive, self-absorbed, overly romantic
queen got dumped by a nice cute boyfriend.
Why do we have to heard about it???
