Gloria: A Life Tickets

Two good friends from way out on Long Island came in on the Jitney to have a New York moment and Gloria, A Life was just that. It’s a very good Off Broadway play. We all enjoyed learning a little more about Gloria and the theater didn’t have a bad seat. The lead actress was amazing as were the other actors.

Loved the theater. Sorry to hear that the show is ending. Would love to recommend it to more people to see.

I came of age when Gloria did. The story of Gloria was not my story but the times we lived in were the same. Each person's journey through those times is unique but strangely alike. It was as though I was reliving my life. It was deeply emotional. Such a strong impact on my very core. When the discussion time arrived Gloria herself walked in and my body started to sob, responding totally apart from my "higher" senses. The accumulation of my past experiences and the remembered necessity of Gloria being somehow always present in my consciousness back then, was overwhelming. At last I "met" her in our advanced ages. Thank you for this unprecedented experience.

Script taught me much about Steinem that I hadn’t known Liked using small cast 2 play many characters

While well-performed and creatively presented the play itself is somewhat static. That said, it's still a great experienced the talk-back at the end is a terrific addition. Christine Lahti is simply the gold standard for American actors today.

What a wonderful tribute and educational experience. So inspiring and thought provoking! I am recommending it to everyone I know.

Christine Lahti is simply amazing. The supporting cast is so versatile and credible in each of the many roles they play. Loved the creative set and the intimate venue.

Wonderful play. Vibrant and exciting. Lucky for us Gloria herself joined us for the roundtable at the end of it.

Lahti becomes Gloria before your eyes. It's thrilling to see the giants of the Womens' Movement so vividly portrayed.

Show was enlightening and cast was wonderful. I cried and cried because of all Gloria has done for all of us her entire life. Go see it and bring everyone with you. If not able to attend buy tickets for others. Thank you Gloria !

Amazing detailed look at an influential figure. Had a great time learning more about her through the show. Very connected to what is happening in our own country today. Worth seeing.

The show was great for learning about, not only gloria Steinem’s life , but life for everyone back in the 50s and 60s and up to today. Entertaining, funny, sad, poignant. I highly recommend for both men and women.

This production was very well put together. Christine Lahti is perfect. The multi-media presentation is affecting, dramatic, riveting. Deserved the tears, laughter, and standing ovation. Brava Gloria, Christine, and the wonderful cast!

One of the most pleasant theater experiences I have had. I took my 20 year old daughter and we both enjoyed the personal and political history of Gloria that was explored in a very creative way. The pleasant staff was an added plus.

I am 65 and lived through part of these times, but never fully appreciated what Gloria and the other feminists had already forged for us. As a physician, very concerned about healthcare, I have seen how easy it is to give up when confronted with the powers that be. Though Gloria had setbacks she never resigned to the status quo. Seeing this has made me more determined.

While I would have probably preferred to see a documentary of the subject, it was an informative and motivational experience.

What a fantastic theatrical experience. Christine Lahti embraces the role of this American hero like a champ. I loved learning so much about Gloria and her remarkable life story. And remembering seeing her speak at my first Women's Liberation march in 1970 when I was 12. My sister and I loved the show.

This play gently tells the story of the loving relational nature of the Women's Movement with Gloria Steinem as the fulcrum. There is laughing and crying and most of all connection. Women who know this story and more importantly, women who don't need to see this play. Hell, everyone should see it.

This show was simply an amazing recounting of so much history. It was also a wonderful reflection on Gloria's life so far.

Everything about her is packed into this show, which feels more like a presentation for all of us who love her, rather than a play. I love Gloria S. so I was thrilled to learn more about her and sit with so many supporters eager to celebrate her and all the causes we believe in. However, as a very frequent (3-4x/week!) and sophisticated theatergoer, if I look at it critically, I believe it would be even more powerful if it were edited to focus on certain themes/stories rather than try to include everything. In the talkback, someone in the audience suggested adding something about trans people, and a lead player said she'd convey this to the playwright and it would get added. I agree with that if the purpose is to have all people and all stories included, and apparently that is what has evolved. If we look at it that way, it's wonderful and inclusive. However, plays are usually more focused on specific themes or messages. Anyway, for what it is, I loved it!
