by Marc Savitt - Aug 5, 2025
While there ae certainly plenty of laughs to be had, there is also much pain and tragedy as major milestones in her life unfold. While I believe that much of the content may have previously been in the public sphere, there are some aspects that are explored more intimately.

Melissa knew that the theatre was a huge part of her mother’s life and decided that a play was the appropriate media vehicle in which to do so.
