Review: Carla Conlin Asks 'Where's My Pony?' in Her Cabaret About Reality and Growing Up

Carla Conlin takes to the stage in a red gown that is to die for...but she's a kid? Through pop, jazz, and contemporary musical theatre, Carla Conlin grows up before our very eyes.

Asking the question, Where's My Pony, Carla guides us in a reflection on all the lies we are told as children and all the expectations people have as adults. Similar to this reviewer, she has carpe diem'ed of late and says tomorrow isn't promised, so spend your cash on experiences and memories. And expensive champagne of course. She's only human.

With a sweet voice and a comic outlook, Conlin really shines in her alto moments which put her tone, strength and heart on display.

All in all, the show encourages the Disney dreaming and the romantic notions of life, love, and career but adds the perfect pinch of salt.

Joined by Matthew Carey as Musical Director and brilliant pianist, the show is a laugh...whether it's at Carla or yourself is sometimes unclear.
