After I started listening to it I realized I had seen the movie. This was a version that was like a play. Ok but nothing special. It was pretty short so I felt like I was missing a lot of development.

This play had its good moments and it’s more boring moments. The dialogue between Peter and Heidi and Scoop were the most interesting parts of the script.

The conversations between the women seemed to drag with the exception of the last scene between Heidi and Susan.

Overall, a really powerful, slice of life piece.
I enjoyed it even though it seemed to flatline at some points.

Not the best play I've read, but it had its moments.

I picked this up for an audition monologue, and I liked it much more than I was expecting to after hating Uncommon Women and Others! Almost 30 years on, it didn't feel particularly groundbreaking to me (especially not after having read several other Baby Boomer Retrospectives), but the characters were interesting, and several of the scenes were comedic gold.

Review to Follow.

Read for Dewey's 24-hour Readathon October 2021.

heidi is just like me fr.

Wow. Amazing. "The Heidi Chronicles" captivated me in ways I never expected! This witty, fast-paced and enchanting play culminates with a chilling reality about careers, love, marriage, friendship and the ups and downs of life. "The Heidi Chronicles" resonated with me on so many levels and I look forward to seeing it on stage soon. Better yet, I look forward to someday portraying Heidi on stage. Highly recommend.

Samantha Jones is in the movie!

Loved this play!

Made me laugh out loud and also sob. So yeah. Fucking great.

It was fine. I think it would resonate a lot more for baby boomers, but I appreciated considering relationships over the arc of someone's life

I didn't find the characters overly interesting and watched them passively from a distance as if they were a bit flat. However, I read a lot of plays and what I did like was the approach of the interconnected scenes moving back and forth through time. That kept the pace moving forward and was refreshing.
