    Intense and powerful

    by Coronado Theater Lover on 3/27/24Balboa Theatre - San Diego

    Can't say enough good things about Michelle Azar's portrayal of Ruth Bader Ginsburg. It's not easy to maintain interest in a one person performance, but she did it with ease and totally captured RBG's persona. She never missed a beat and captivated the audience from beginning to end. Playwright, Rupert Holmes, provided the moving words and message with an intensity that could only leave a lasting impression. You only need to see this play once, but everyone should do so.

    All Things Equal -- a great show and experience

    by Marcie M. on 3/27/24Balboa Theatre - San Diego

    I was so looking forward to seeing All Things Equal -- and it was SO worth the wait: excellent performance, good staging -- just an all-around delightful experience. I hadn't been to the Balboa Theatre is a very long time -- and that was a treat as well. I had loge seating (so I was a good distance from the stage), but my sight-line was perfect and the sound quite good. All in all -- it was a great experience!

    I waited six months to see this play...

    by Bonnie on 3/27/24Balboa Theatre - San Diego

    The play, authored by Rupert Holmes and directed by Laley Lippard, was brilliant. Michelle Azar as RBG gave a superb performance. The Honorable Justice Ginsburg’s life is inspirational. I'm so glad I was able to see 'All Things Equal: The Life and Trials of Ruth Bader Ginsburg'.

    Great show RBG would approve

    by Happy theatre goer on 3/27/24Balboa Theatre - San Diego

    This was entertaining and informative. Although the theatre was full of older women. It would be a great show for young people to see. The actress was amazing, she had so many lines and being a one women show she showed her great level of skill with emotion and poise with no other actors to play off of. Bravo. RBG would approve.

    Awesome

    by JH on 3/27/24Balboa Theatre - San Diego

    Didn’t really know what to expect from the show, but it was highly entertaining, informative, enlightening and inspiring!

    Didn't do the Justice justice.

    by Diane S on 3/26/24Balboa Theatre - San Diego

    Having seen many single artist presentations, this one, for me, unfortunately didn't measure up. Due to the artist's vocal tone, I found myself missing lines, despite my second row seating. Although it was informative and the set design was fine, the presentation itself was lacking.

    Great show, amazing actor, extremely relevant

    by junglejim on 3/26/24Balboa Theatre - San Diego

    We learned so much about our admired RBG! It has always been hard for women to 'get ahead,' and this play brilliantly illustrated her approach to getting things done, as well as advancing herself to places never dreamt of before for a woman! Great actor, excellent sound, really enjoyed it - even if today's political reality is very bittersweet.

    Tour de Force - Don’t Miss

    by Linda on 3/26/24Balboa Theatre - San Diego

    Not an empty seat for this amazing one-woman show about the life and trials of the Notorious RBG. Excellent summary of her life with even-handed treatment of her few regrets. What a woman and what a play!!

    She was RBG!

    by The Nan on 3/26/24Balboa Theatre - San Diego

    From the moment the curtain went up, I was hanging on every word. She was RBG; voice, gestures, and movement. Absolutely one of the best educational shows I have seen. Also the humor; loved the humor: standing ovation!

    A must see about RBG

    by Francine G on 3/26/24Balboa Theatre - San Diego

    All Things Equal: RBG couldn't have been any better than it was. It had all of the elements of a good play - informative, happy, sad, humor galore with a terrific actress. How she spoke for 2 hours straight without a dull moment is beyond me. The stage was full of surprises with video footage that worked interchangeably with her bookcase. I hope the Balboa Theatre brings the show back. Two performances is just not enough!

    The show was wonderful

    by Mike on 3/26/24Balboa Theatre - San Diego

    The play itself was wonderful. The sole actress WAS Ruth Bader Ginsburg. She was marvelous. The staging was interesting, and the use of the computer screen worked very well. However, the theater did not do a good job of getting the evening started. After exhorting the theater goers to arrive extra early, they didn’t open the doors to the seating area until after 7:15, for a show that was scheduled to start at 7:30. Accordingly, the lobby area became extremely crowded with anxious patrons. Naturally, it took a long time for the patrons to get in their seats, with very little urging by the ushers, and so the performance started very late. Thankfully, that concern was overcome by the spectacular nature of the performance!!

    Small theatre was best setting for this personal play

    by ImAFan on 3/26/24Balboa Theatre - San Diego

    I loved the format for this one-woman play - turned into a personal discussion with Justice Ginsberg. The small theatre added to the feeling of being spoken to directly. Although I knew most of her history and background, the way it was presented was new and refreshing. Mixing large format historical pictures added so much to the realism and feel of a "fireside"chat. Thank you!

    One Woman Tour de Force

    by Jessica J on 3/26/24Balboa Theatre - San Diego

    This play was a one woman, one act performance, and there was not a moment I was not fully engaged. The place spans Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s life, focusing, of course, on her many accomplishments. It is a true homage to the dynamic being that was RBG.

    Not great

    by JT on 3/26/24Balboa Theatre - San Diego

    We left after 20 minutes. It was pretty disappointing.

    What a learning experience

    by Carmen on 2/4/24Hackensack Meridian Health Theatre at the Count Basie Center - Red Bank

    I saw the biopic on RGB but this play brought her story to life. This one woman show was a powerhouse of an experience.

    Fast Paced and Informative

    by Do Ri on 2/4/24Hackensack Meridian Health Theatre at the Count Basie Center - Red Bank

    We laughed, we cried and we clapped a lot. We were amazed that a 90- minute one-woman-show could keep our interest and attention as well as this one did.

    Like being with RBG In person

    by Wtutz on 2/4/24Hackensack Meridian Health Theatre at the Count Basie Center - Red Bank

    The 90 minute, one woman show, exceeded my expectations. I was crying along with the rest of the audience. I had to go alone and i was hoping it would be playing again nearby so I could bring my wife and other friends. Highly recommended!
