I attended last night's opening of The Lady With All the Answers with Dottsy Z courtesy of Yelp. I had never been to the Herbeger and was very impressed with the theater. I loved that it's small (rear to stage) and utilizes several balconies for adequate seating. I doubt there's a bad seat in the house.
The play itself tells the story of Ann Landers as she struggles with a column. Not a column giving advice, but a column in which she must reveal a personal dilemma. She shares reader mail and incorporates her own recollections of significant events in her life through this process by which we learn about her. The acting was very impressive, but it is a one-woman show. I found the first half to be a little slow, but the second half was excellent.
I look forward to attending more performances here.
