...

Magen M from Westville on Aug 23, 2025

Absolutely amazing

"I’ve never been to a one actor show before but I’ve always been a huge fan of Jean Smart. I knew nothing about the show and read just a brief synopsis of it ahead of time. I wasn’t sure what to expect with a lone actor and such a limited set, but the story was so compelling and she absolutely owned the stage. She drew you in with her emotion and story telling. Jumping in and out of current story line and precious memories… It was an absolutely captivating performance and I am so thankful I had the opportunity to see this show and to see it with Jean Smart."

...

Merri B from Hoover on Aug 23, 2025

Amazing evening!

"Jean Smart was fabulous from curtain up to curtain down! "

...

Michael F from Buffalo on Aug 22, 2025

Beyond incredible!

"Saw the show last night and it was INCREDIBLE!! Jean Smart is BEYOND AMAZING! The rollercoaster of emotions, the suspense, the laughter, the compassion…we were all captivated, hanging on her every word. The theatre at times erupted in laughter and at other times you could hear a pin drop. AND she did it all by herself…obviously she had a crew, etc but it was a one-woman show and she never wavered once. Plus still recovering from knee surgery. I’ve seen a lot of shows but this one was maybe the best I’ve ever seen. One of the best decisions I’ve made. ♥️♥️♥️"

Michelle C from Garland on Aug 17, 2025

Brilliance at its best

"Jean Smart can do it all. The story brings out emotions that the audience feels as deeply as is presented by the actress. Even with a physical problem, Smart so cleverly uses this and her presentation is stellar. Kudos to the writer and to the actress!!"

...

Broadway.com Customer on Aug 17, 2025

Outstanding

"Jean Smart far exceeded my expectations in her role as Isabelle / Izzy. Jean is super talented so I had to see Call Me Izzy and she blew my mind away. She deserves a Tony for that performance. So very thankful to have been able to see her in this role. "
