Broadway Review: CALL ME IZZY - Bored & Confused?

Описание: Welcome to Bored and Confused, where I review shows based on just two criteria: was I bored? Was I confused?

In this episode, I dive into Call Me Izzy, a one-woman Broadway play written by Jamie Wax and starring the legendary Jean Smart. From Southern trauma to literary triumph, Jean commands the stage with heartbreaking nuance. But does the character's age make sense? And was I really not confused at all? Let’s find out.
