The Vagina Monologues

Pros: A brilliant piece of theatre.
Cons: none

First things first ~ there is no audience participation involved in this show so rest assured, you will not be put on the spot and asked difficult questions.


~Vagina is a word I seemed to steer clear of most my life. When I...

Pros: Best when recounting wry, self-deprecating tales of realistic women.
Cons: Tries too hard to top itself with each piece, and swiftly becomes ridiculously unfunny.

Picture me, if you will, at the Vagina Monologues: a black-clad, bespectacled island of gloom in a sea of shrieking, whooping women, seemingly the only attendee not dying with laughter at the spectacle (now in its fifth consecutive minute) of a woman...

Pros: Very funny, heartwarming, you will laugh!
Cons: There is at least one sad part, but it's well done

My wife and I recently saw the Vagina Monologues. We had no idea what to expect before we got there, but the title intrigued us. Prior to seeing it, all we knew about the Vagina Monologues was that Rudy Guiliani's ex-wife had...

Pros: Absolutely electrifying
Cons: Not for squeamish men or children

Eve Ensler is quite a woman. I have never heard the word vagina used so many times in an hour and a half, nor have I heard so many variations of the word- I'll spare you the sordid details. I was lucky to see The Vagina Monologues in Chicago last...

Pros: The topic of the vagina is interesting...
Cons: ...however, this production is NOT. She's cashed in on vagina without the sex.

Apparently over 5 years ago a women by the name of Eve Ensler began interviewing females of all ages about their vaginas. She decided what she found was so shocking and humorous that she just had to put a little show together to help educate the masses...

Pros: Brilliant performance. Laugh-out-loud theme.
Cons: None.

Eve Ensler is wildly successful in her attempt to reclaim the word "vagina" and its many pseudonyms in THE VAGINA MONOLOGUES. The show, based on her book by the same title, is comprised of numerous interviews with females from childhood...

Pros: You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll have a great time
Cons: May not be for some "sensitive" souls

By the end of "The Vagina Monologues," if nothing else, you will no longer be embarrassed by the word "vagina."

We saw this play in London, where it was performed by three marvelous woman, each reading parts of hundreds interviews conducted by...

Pros: The Vagina is Finally Recognized
Cons: Parts of it may make you feel uncomfortable.

If you enjoy watching three women sitting on stools and taking turns reading from piles of papers, then this show is for you. Monologues, written as a result of interviews of women of all age, color and race, were read with some action on the part of the...

Pros: Great performance, touching, hilarious
Cons: Scary material for some

Yes, I have a penis ... but that doesn't mean I can't enjoy some feminine banter once in awhile.

Of course, when I heard that my wife and I were about to accompany 14 other people (12 of them women) to a show called "The Vagina...

Pros: Rosie, Robin and Debi were awesome. Empowering play.
Cons: It could've been longer. Also very expensive.

It's Mother's Day, and my mom and I went to see 'The Vagina Monologues' at the Wilbur Theater in Boston. It was her idea, and it was a good one.

Rosie Perez, Debi Mazar, and Robin Givens were the three ladies in the lineup. They all wore...

Pros: Innovative, creative, brave, interesting.
Cons: Not appropriate for all audiences (namely some squeemish men and young children).

Eve Ensler's one woman show tells the truth about that word that people are hesitant to even say...vaginas.

A night of monologues based on interviews that Ensler conducted with women of various ages (I won't spoil it by telling you any of the...

Pros: Inspiring, inventive and fun
Cons: Men may want to stay away

I went to the Vagina Monologues not quite knowing what to expect. As I took my seat, I realized that for once, I was mostly surrounded by women. I saw women of every color, size, height and ethnicity. It was quite a change, and I was happy to see that so...

Pros: Really funny and very romantic
Cons: Not for people under 12 (but you knew that already, didn't you?)

Eve Ensler has come up with a show that doesn't preach or rail at us to become sudden militants, but instead just uses the word vagina the way it should be used; naturally and without shame. In a world where the word penis is tossed around, even women...

Pros: can have well-known performers
Cons: everything is read straight from note cards

At first I was excited about seeing The Vagina Monologues - I bought tickets even before I knew which actors (for lack of a better word) were scheduled to appear. I have to admit, I was hoping for a well-known name, or two. I was disappointed in the...

Pros: Funny for men, but really hits home for women
Cons: Your husband may start speaking to your vagina

This was an awesome show. It reminded me of another choreo-play called "For Colored Girls." So, if you saw that and liked it, you'll like this. It is unabashedly straight-forward about womens' feelings toward their vaginas. Honestly, I don't recall...
