Miss America's Ugly Daughter Reviews
Broadway World- Highly Recommended
"...The poignant two-character solo show, written and performed to emotional perfection by Grant, with voiceovers by Monica Piper as Bess Myerson, is about the seismic mother-daughter relationship Barra endured with her distant, totally self-centered, fame and career-obsessed mother who never thought her only child was never good enough. Of course she was, and is, but the journey to get there is the premise for her incredibly personal and extremely funny play."
Will Call- Highly Recommended
"...This woman was so self-centered, if her neighbor's house burnt down, she would probably bitch about having to smell the smoke! Barra's gallows humor comes into play describing her and her mother's assorted boyfriends, her efforts to launch a career in Hollywood and her childhood, which you wouldn't wish on your worst enemy. But read her bio in your Footlights program - she did allright for herself, so there ! The play is stylishly directed by the talented Eve Brandstein and should not be missed."
