When it comes to theatre experiences, some shows can be quite predictable but this one seems like a wild ride! I love that it's set to bring people together and make us think about our family dynamics in a new light. The idea of magical realism adding a twist to an ordinary dinner is genius 
Can't wait to see how the production turns out 
a comedy about family drama and magical chicken soup? sounds like just another way to sugarcoat the reality of relationships 
, you gotta be outta your mind to think that's gonna make us laugh 
. and good luck with that ticket price tho $18-$36? are they kidding me? that's like asking people to pay for a therapy session 
.
It's going to be so interesting to see how they tackle those heavy family feelings in a comedic way. March can't come soon enough for me! 
I mean, who doesn't love a good laugh and some food for thought? Marsha Blovotnick's story sounds like the perfect combo of witty humor and emotional depth. The idea of magical realism adding an extra layer of weirdness is genius 
. It's gonna be hilarious! And I love that it's tackling real issues like strained relationships and pent-up emotions – it'll be so satisfying to see the characters work through their problems.
. March 12-22 can't come soon enough – mark my words, this play is gonna sell out ASAP! 
. Anyone else excited for some much-needed laughter and introspection in the spring? 
And $18-$36 for tickets? Worth it? 
. I love how it tackles family dynamics and all that stuff - it's like, relatable on so many levels. The title alone has me curious - Marsha Blovotnick and the Marvelous Magical Chicken Soup is definitely making me wanna check it out! Can't wait to see what the theatre crew comes up with 
. like people are really going to shell out cash for a bunch of drama and fancy words... i mean, magical realism? please, it's just code for "we're trying too hard to be deep". and the cast is probably all gonna be super talented but totally uninteresting outside of their characters 
. also, $36 for a ticket? are they kidding me? that's just ridiculous 
.
. The idea that we can just ignore our problems and have a magical fix-all dinner sounds like a dream come true, but in reality, our issues run much deeper.
! It sounds like it's gonna be a wild ride - Marsha's got some SERIOUS anger issues and her sister shows up uninvited lol what's good?! And the magical chicken soup is already making me LOL 
but then thier dad shows up outta thin air with magical chicken soup and it gets all weird and familliy drama ensues. idk if its gonna be funny or deep but i need to see it 2 c the reactions of ppl when marsha is trying 2 keep her anger in 
. anyhoo, $18-$36 sounds like a decent price 4 a good show.
