nytheatre now Review by Amy Lee Pearsall (2013)
"In this heartfelt examination and meditation on cultural and familial expectation, self-doubt and personal identity, Yokko grounds herself in her story as much as she does in the present moment, and her commitment to both is admirable. With or without hair, Baldy is a thing of wonder." |
Hollywood Fringe Festival Reviews
June 17, 2013 Yokko shows that true strength comes from having the ability to show your vulnerability…Because no battle is won without humility. -Margaret H. Baker (Producer/Screenwriter/Performer) June 19, 2013 I’m stone cold and I was weeping at the end of this piece. Yokko is an amazing performer and she makes herself completely available to the audience through her characterizations, physicality, and storytelling ability. So much is happening on stage that you forget that this is a one-woman show -jacquetta szathmari (writer/performer) June 20, 2013 It’s about being human, it’s about trying to fit in, it’s about wanting to be in charge of you. -christian levatino (Actor/writer/Director) |

NYTheatre.com Review by Jack Hanley August 15, 2012
"Yokko has nurtured her seeds of beauty, they rooted, and in this unforgettable work of theatre, they have blossomed." -Jack Hanley (NYtheatrec.com) NT Times Readers Reviews: "I love the very honest journey Yokko takes as she shares her personal experience: the loss of her hair in a culture that privileges physical beauty for women; the importance of being vulnerable; the importance of self-love and having it in every moment you live. " -– Rhone, Philadelphia "Yokko is a fantastic performer and I enjoyed her unusual story. She was very moving, and also very funny. A story of courage and love. The best solo show at the FringeNYC."-Wiliam, NYC "Yokko is a powerhouse performer. Her story is touching, insightful, and beautifully told. An excellent solo show in this year's FringeNYC, and definitely worth supporting." -Michael, NYC |
