Run to See Every Brilliant Thing
"In a unique, poignant, beautiful play that addresses the difficult topic of mental health & suicide, Tracy Ellis Ross makes a sad subject hopeful & joyful. She single handedly commands the room & invites audience participation, which leaves certain scenes vulnerable to the unexpected - in very funny ways. We laughed and cried. What a wonderful way to portray one of life’s big struggles. "

A Phenomenal Show
"Tracee Ross is a very talented artist/performer. Engaging the audience with their different personalities and roles added brilliantly to the show. Suicide and depression can be very gloomy but this play lightened the theme. Thank you!!!"

Tracee Ellis Ross’s performance is absolutely phenomenal!
"Tracee Ellis Ross’s performance in Every Brilliant Thing was absolutely flawless and beautifully executed. As you know, she’s easy on the eyes, but what truly impressed me was her incredible diversity and wit, which shone through her characters’ distinct personalities. I was on cloud nine coming out of the Hudson Theatre, and I still am. So, don’t hesitate to make the sacrifice of buying good seats because Tracee’s performance is well worth it. It will be an unforgettable experience to watch and engage in."

Must see Every Brilliant Thing!
"Tracee Ellis Ross did a fantastic job performing this show! Audience participation is involved and she directed the people joining her performance from the crowd very well and stayed in character. It was funny, sad, thought provoking and sometimes very serious. The message was what every human should know. The only thing that I didn’t like was sometimes I couldn’t hear what the people picked from the audience was saying. This was my only complaint. Go see this production!"

Terrific One Man Show
"Mariska was wonderful in this play. We were so lucky to get tickets for her last performance and her husband was in it as the character's husband so it was really special. It was fun, the audience participation was amazing, it was sad and touching and moving!!! I highly recommend it but don't know how the next performer will do but it is a great play!"
