Everyday Rapture
9 / 10
'Everyday Rapture' is structured as a sincere memoir of growing up in 'half-Mennonite' Topeka, Kansas, encountering prejudiced anti-gay ministers, finding empowerment through song and obsessing over a variety of icons including Judy Garland, Jesus and, weirdly enough, Mr. Rogers. One surprisingly sultry medley strings together familiar Fred Rogers songs like 'It's You I Like' and 'I Like to Be Told.' At the same time, Scott's show is a relentlessly silly deconstruction of childhood innocence and egotistical diva tell-alls. Scott is not playing herself so much as parodying herself through excessive exaggeration.
