Finding Barb

We had occasion the other evening to attend a delightful  show starring Barbara Heller, a multi-talented actress and writer, who in approximately 2 hours, took her audience from her childhood to the present attempting to find herself and perhaps, Mr Right as well.
Ms. Heller plays herself, her mother and other characters in her life ably assisted by her co-star, David Scales who, like Ms. Heller, becomes the relevant male characters in these cameos and circumstances from the author's experiences. Directed by Eva Minemar with music composed by Avi Avliav, book and lyrics by Ms. Heller and two original songs by Katie Thompson, the musical runs to January 10, 2013 playing only on Thursday evenings at The Working Stage theater in West Hollywood.
People in Barbara's generation and those old enough to be parents to those who have  had similar experiences (which means practically everyone over 18) will identify and appreciate the sensitivity and charm of this theatrical musical presentation.
