While watching BRILLIANT, you are captivated by the clever songs, seduced by the poignant dialogue and set changes, and mesmerized by the heartfelt acting. After the show you are left to your own reoccurring thoughts. As parents we want to do what’s right for each of our children. For those families with atypical children, we get a glimpse of the additional challenges to hold the family together. The constant refrain by the mom, “How can I make this right?” and “I want to fill my home with love”, left all of us going deep into our parenting to ask ourselves if we’ve done enough of the right things. We were reminded as parents that we can only be as happy as our least happy child. We see from the child’s perspective that they just want to be seen and accepted for who they are. Why wouldn’t they get angry when legions of well-meaning adults want to “fix” them? There should be a video of this production available to the countless families who feel they are all alone who can’t be part of a live audience. This production will reassure you, that you are not alone.
