I received press tickets (oh, SNAP) to this one-woman musical (playing at the same theatre where I saw SAKE WITH THE HAIKU GEISHA) which I saw on Sunday April 30.

One woman, six characters and nineteen songs!

From this article in Playbill:

J.A.P. Chronicles, the Musical, written, composed and performed by Isabel Rose, officially opens at the Perry Street Theatre May 3. Previews began April 17.

Based on Rose's novel "The J.A.P. Chronicles" (DoubleDay), the production features direction by Carl Andress and will play a limited engagement through May 28.

In the musical, "six former bunkmates reunite at Willow Lake Camp's 100th anniversary. Ali Cohen, the former 'ugly duckling' turned self-made swan, secretly hopes her teenage tormentors have grown into adult losers. As each woman steps into focus, however, she discovers that things are not quite so simple. Her expectations hilariously undermined, Ali reconsiders her subjects (not to mention herself) as whole, flawed and, finally, very human beings." Rose portrays all six characters.
