What I liked

The pacing… the creative use of the stage, actors and voiceover… the play within a play… the variety… the male and female viewpoints… the performances… THE MUSICAL NUMBER!!!

What I didn't like

I really can’t think of anything I didn’t like.

My overall impression

Life Expectancy allows audiences to get so close to, what I presume, is the real emotional ups and downs of pregnancy. In just over an hour we go through the humor, fears, excitement, joys, more fears, frustrations, and awkwardness of growing a baby. The writing, pacing and performances make this topic accessible to those with or without children, and perhaps, all a bit more grateful to our own parents. Put this one on your list to watch!
