'Nicole Travolta Is Doing Alright' Off-Broadway review — a once debt-ridden diva finds her dividends
7 / 10
Nicole starts by amusingly recounting clumps of her childhood, quickly getting the Travolta gags out of the way: her uncle’s Saturday Night Live disco dance and the memory of riding his bedroom-supplied airplane. Also, she’s not a Scientologist. But as she journeys into her parents' split (her father, Sam, being the “cheaper Travolta” compared to John) and her then-husband confronting her credit card spending, the show pivots into darker territory about the relatable humiliation of debt and the unsettling, yet darkly comedic, tribulations of doing customer service at a spray-tan salon.
