Aspergers isn’t your usual subject for a musical, but with these two talented people maybe it should be. These two young Aspie sufferers take what is generally thought to be a disadvantage and turn it into an asset. Both admit to being ‘on the spectrum’ but have conquered (or controlled) most of their problems.

Delivered in two halves the show covers the experience of both players. First is Ryan and his solo trip to New York, the result of his love of musical theatre. Secondly, we hear from Sophie who tells her story in the form of a musical, cleverly thought out.

Ryan talks about the difficulty of social interaction and ways of dealing with (or avoiding) it. His knowledge of musicals is immense, the result of an obsessive need to know everything. He will happily tell you what won best picture in any year you can mention.

Sophie needs to react through musical or movie characters as she can’t socialize as herself. She begins as Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz, (confessing her all time favourite is Wicked) but gives us glimpses of other characters on the way through. Finally going back to Dorothy with a version of Somewhere Over The Rainbow.

Both performers use and adapt songs and themes from many musicals. Predictably Ryan has a snippet of New York, New York amongst his. All the adaptations work well but the song borrowed from Avenue Q is genius. Everyone’s A Little Bit Racist becomes Everyone’s A Little Bit Aspie and it works so well, as does the whole show.

An hour of light-hearted but insightful entertainment, don’t miss it.
