Momma knows best!
The Other Jeannie Retelle’s wit and natural stage presence was delightfully woven in with storytelling from her biological mother, Jeannie Retelle. Family photo montages, multiple costume changes, and drag numbers help illustrate the beautiful story of The Other Jeannie’s relationship with her mother, Jeannie. The love and support they have for each other shone through the whole time and brought tears to my eyes. That experience of being unconditionally loved by a parent is something so few queer people are fortunate to have. I was touched and I loved it. Beautiful job!
