Cartoonopolis - Review

Lewis Bray tells the story of growing up with an autistic brother through a one-man show.

Lewis, however, has the ability to make it feel like a 100-person show with an incredible talent for voices, switching characters seamlessly, but not losing the audience in the process. His brother, Jack, has an American accent and a small clip of the real-life Jack plays at the beginning of the show to showcase just how incredible Lewis's impression is.

Lewis also plays every member of his family, as well as the characters in Cartoonopolis, Jack's escape where he serves as Mayor and savior of the land.

The show also touches on how disappointing the government's approach to understanding the needs of autistic persons can truly affect not only their lives, but those around them.

I myself do not have an autistic loved one, so seeing the show from that perspective, I would have given it a three, however, multiple people in the room with in tears throughout showing just how on-the-nose the play is for those living with autistic loved ones. I am sure they would give it a five.

Not to mention, my wife also had an autistic brother (who sadly passed away) and I know she would love this show.

So I averaged and here we are!
