New York Theater Guide called Jamie a stunning performer, TimeOut New York raved, hilarious[and] dark[Jamie is a] top teller, and it was dubbed thoroughly entertaining (Theater is Easy) and rib-tickling funny, (Hi! Drama). With dazzling wit and unflinching honesty set against a multi-media backdrop of evocative photos, home movies, vintage postcards, and music haunted by Peggy Lees Is That All There Is?, Jamie tells the story of wrestling way too close toand later loose frombooze, sex, and his bombastic, adorable Mama Jean (a Texan Elizabeth Taylor with the split personality of Auntie Mame and Mama Rose, who never had a thought she didnt speak). Dangerous When Wet is a unique story about alcoholism, illness, death, AIDS, family heartbreak, and the relationship between a gay son and his mother. Darkly comic, youll cry laughing.
