What Audiences Have Said
“The show was brilliant, and you were amazing. I hope you can get this out to a wider audience. So many people are facing medical issues and they would benefit from seeing the doc’s perspective.”
— TA, medical oncologist
“I found it hilarious, relatable, and thought provoking. I think anyone who works in healthcare would benefit from seeing it. I hope you keep it going. You are one incredibly brilliant and talented guy.”
— SK, research nurse
“It was fabulous to get to experience some of your giftedness beyond oncology—singing! Piano playing! Composing! Acting! In my theological circles we’d say you are living out your vocation in the deepest possible way.”
— DM, Professor of Religion, cancer patient
“Awesome show tonight! I laughed and cried — and was reminded that after 30 years working in oncology — I still find meaning in my work. Thank you!”
— MS, oncology nurse
“Incredibly creative. I only wish you could actually see the smiles (and some tears) on all of our faces. I will never forget the lady with the hankies. BRAVO!!!”
— TL, internist
“Getting the extended sold-out run was well-deserved. The talent, courage and humility to put this together were most apparent. Each performance must have been cathartic, exhilarating and exhausting. You made us laugh. You made us cry. Well done, you.”
— JB, actress and former patient
“You were fantastic...a wonderful mix of fun and gravitas. We were talking after and thought it would be awesome to have you do the show for students.”
— RE, Assoc Medical School Dean
“Your performance was amazing — you show up the same way in clinic. You have made me feel so cared for as your patient AND you made it fun to have cancer!”
— LK, long time patient
“I hope you know you aren’t just making a difference to patients and families, you’re also making a difference to the people you work with. We all provide better care because of the information, inspiration and humor you share.”
— AW, oncology nurse
Thank you for baring your soul with such clarity, emotion, humor, pathos, and musicality. You are an amazing talent on stage, and you should have become rich and famous for it. But then, your patients wouldn’t have had the benefit of your care and connection, so certainly we, and I think you, win.
— RM, anesthesiologist and patient
You were amazing last night! I brought my two besties from PA school; they thought it was life changing! Thanks for being you!
– LR Physician Assistant Hematology/Oncology
I am so proud to know you. You made me laugh and cry. Thank you for doing this. I'm sure you will touch so many!
– RF Chief Legal Officer of a Health Care Provider Organization
Your show was great! I really enjoyed it a lot and think it had a great message in addition to being entertaining. I think my favorite parts were your reflections following being offered the assistant manager job at the bookstore and your experience with the patient and her handkerchief up her sleeve. Thank you for sharing this with us all.
– JN vice chair for education, Professor of Med and Pets
It was a very heartfelt show! You are so talented and a very good reminder about the importance of connection:)
– EL Hospitalist
Really loved it. Here’s a blurb you can use: “Just like Springsteen on Broadway. Except without Springsteen, iconic songs or Broadway.” But we loved the songs. I was in a Click a Box infinite loop today.
— DY, medical oncologist, and cancer center director
I was fortunate to be able to go to your show last night and I just wanted to reach out and say thank you! It was a wonderful performance, and I took a lot away from it. I was almost in tears at certain parts and laughing my face off in others and had feelings of inspiration. Thank you for doing what you do and sharing that with us. I hope to see you around!
– CR Research Nurse
It was a phenomenal performance! I laughed too much.
– KC Chief Resident Internal Medicine
You have such a great ability to speak to an audience - multiple times each of us felt that you were performing a private show just for us! Going through a career change as an adult was especially relatable to me. Well, and being the fun one at the office =) My introverted, quiet, observant partner audibly laughed multiple times (an accomplishment)!! So happy you're bringing visibility to the daily tasks of your work and spreading laughter!
– AN Research Coordinator
It was a magnificent performance and I was thrilled to be there. My wife was there as well and she loved it even though she is not in the medical field. Congratulations!
– BF Hospitalist
The show was delightful, poignant and engaging. Maybe it even helps us to uncover Empathy, which seems to have gone into hiding for many of us.
– BS, casting director
The show was amazing!! It resonated in so many ways. Plus, I nearly fell out of my chair laughing during the Click a Box number.
– MO Director, Center For the Art of Medicine
The writing, the songs, the production, the execution and the MESSAGE…
Bravo! Bravo! Bravo!
– BO Ophthalmalogist
Loved your show, it was very meaningful to me. It reminded me why I love this job. You are an amazing talent in so many ways. Glad I didn’t have to complete a survey and check boxes to let you know it was a fabulous and memorable performance. Your colleague in the show was great too. It is a privilege to know you.
– DR Oncologist
Fantastic performance! Everyone who has a stake in compassionate healthcare delivery should see this production.
