Happy-Go-Wrong has found its way onto several ‘Best Of’ lists for 2019.
The show has been named an “indie highlight” of 2019 by The Age critic Cameron Woodhead in his reflection on memorable theatre from the year: “Happy-Go-Wrong laid bare the fate of an artist struck down by chronic illness.”
The show has come in at #7 (out of 199!) on prolific theatre critic My Melbourne Arts’ Top Ten Shows of 2019. “Happy-Go-Wrong drew the audience into the reality of living with a chronic illness and when Snelling sung her original song, “You Are Alive”, we were motionless, transfixed by a moment of pure emotion and truth.”
The show has also made critic Keith Gow’s Best Shows of 2019: “Andi Snelling’s very personal show about her own invisible illness that opens up a discussion about disability and the arts. Beautifully theatrical.”
And there’s also plenty of love for the show over at critic Anne-Marie Peard’s What Melbourne Loved 2019: “Happy-Go-Wrong was an incredibly moving and beautiful celebration of life!” “…a deeply personal story about invisible illness, without it feeling at all indulgent – an utterly mesmerising, moving piece of theatre.”
I feel very lucky!
