There’s no question that Melissa Etheridge is an inviting performer, whether she’s beckoning through her window or simply asking us to enjoy some of the great rock singing ever – …
co-creator Linda Wallem Etheridge, and directed by Amy Tinkham,is, as the title suggests, a look inside Etheridge’s life, or perhaps lives, as in both personal and professional, young and old, happy and sad. Clearly inspired by Bruce Springsteen’s 2017Etheridge intersperses autobiographical tales though the many songs, memories both happy and bittersweet and, in a couple cases, devastating.
The show’s first half is especially charming, with its projections of family photos, old house facades and the occasional appearances of real-life mementos from Etheridge’s life . If you’ve followed Etheridge’s recent life, the mention of a son will chill. But more on that in Act II. Those tragedies come and go quickly in the play, though Etheridge maintains a levelheaded, even breezy attitude throughout most, refusing to give in to self-pity, even when cancer comes to her own body. After a an excursion into Western Medicine, specifically the radiation and chemo that left her bald while performing a 2005 tribute to her hero Joplin, Etheridge opts to take a less traditional path to healing.
The first email from her ex finally comes, saying simply, “He’s dead.” The second follows quickly: “I blame you.”
