Review: 'You're So Special' is a painfully funny tale of stardom-seeking
A Guardian review of Julia Grogan's one-woman show at London's Soho Theatre found it a darkly comic portrait of a toddler dance teacher chasing fame.
A Guardian review examined Julia Grogan's one-woman follow-up to her drama "Playfight," in which a toddler dance teacher named Miss June dreams of stardom.
The review described the show as painfully funny, noting a shift in tone after an audience question exposes cracks in the character's fantasy of success.
