Highly recommended! ChiIL Mama saw the opening night and loved it. Check out our slide show recap of our pre-run party last June at Water Tower Place. I got to meet Producer, Daryl Roth, Director, Karen Carpenter, and special guests, Mellody Hobson and Christie Hefner. The fabulous fashion sketches were by students from The International Academy of Design & Technology.
We saw the original cast on opening night and thoroughly enjoyed this production. The cast rotates, and always features a powerhouse line up of great theatre women. Since the show is set up as a staged reading, rather than a blocked production, it's got a casual coffee with friends vibe. The stories come off as intimate recollections of events, and are all the more powerful for the presentation.
I laughed when I saw the production disclaimer that there is nothing particularly inappropriate for kids, but that they might be bored by it, like they are by adult chats. This is very true. While the adults in the audience laughed frequently and empathetically, and gave the show a unanimous standing ovation, I didn't bring my kids to this one. It's more of a girls' night out or date play. I brought my neighbor and we enjoyed a glass of wine, a lot of laughs, and no little people who needed the bathroom.
Rotating Cast includes Roni Geva, Cindy Gold, Taylor Miller, Loretta Swit, Dawn Wells and Whitney White!

Proving that a great show is always in fashion, Love, Loss, and What I Wore, with its starry rotating cast and compulsively entertaining subject matter, has become an international hit. This intimate collection of stories by Nora Ephron and Delia Ephron is based on the best-selling book, as well as on the recollections of the Ephrons’ friends. Like the popular book, the show uses clothing and accessories and the memories they trigger to tell funny and often poignant stories that all women can relate to, creating one of the most enduring theatergoing experiences in New York and now across the country.
