REVIEWS
Herringbone’s cast of one conjures colourful characters with finesse – The Georgia Straight

Broadway tour shows notwithstanding, you don’t need a fleet of 18-wheelers to deliver cutting edge musicals to Metro Vancouver
“Herringbone” — a magical, mysterious evening of music and dance – Entertainment Vancouver

HERRINGBONE – Jo Ledingham Theatre Reviews

Herringbone: great premise T-boned by a weak story – Colin Thomas
Jojic, who plays 11 characters, performs up to five-person scenes by herself and there’s never a millisecond of doubt about whether she’s tremulous George, his bellicose father, his stalwart mother, or Chucky-like Lou. Impressively, Jojic also performs two-character comic business — hitting herself in the back, for instance, and then reacting — with spot-on timing.
