"In other words, this is one wacky clown show. And ... there is a kind of existential twist that transforms the performance from an occasionally engaging oddity into something more thoughtful. When it comes to Fringe, not to mention pantomime, that’s no small thing."

                                                                                The Washington Post

 

「言い換えればこれは一つの風変わりなクラウンショーだ。加えてそこには実存主義的ひねりのようなものがあり、それが愛嬌のある奇妙なパフォーマンスをさらに思想の深い何かへと変換している。パントマイムは言うまでもなく、話がフリンジとなればこれは少なからずたいしたものである。 」　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　    ワシントン・ポスト

 

"Super cute and queerly quirky, A Day in the Life of Miss Hiccup is, for certain, destined to land in the top tier of Fringe shows this year. Brainy, semi-surrealist physical theatre/comedy is the Tokyo-based performer's stock in trade, and she uses it to great and often hilarious effect in this meticulously constructed (the sound and spacing coordination and cues - of which there are many - were impeccable), disarming and charming and perfectly paced solo production. This is a surefire winner for even the most jaded Fringe fan."　　　　       　　　               The Montreal Hour

 

「スーパーキュートで、ひと癖もふた癖もあるショー。今年のフリンジ・ショーNo.1の座は『ミスしゃっくりの幸せな一日』で決まったのも同然だ。東京を拠点に活動するパフォーマー・小心ズの本領は、知的でどこかシュールなフィジカルコメディ。細部まで丁寧に作られたパフォーマンスの中で、その素晴らしく愉快な技をたっぷりと見せてくれる（音と動きが寸分なく合う様は見事。間の取り方も申 し分ない）。

愛嬌たっぷりで絶妙なテンポのひとり芝居。感覚が麻痺し切ったフリンジ・ファンさえも必ず喜ばせるに違いない」            The Montreal Hour

 

"... magical moment that is not only unexpected in its simple innovation, but also surprising in how much you really care about Miss Hiccup by the time the end of her day rolls around."                                                 CBC

 

「何でもない出来事に潜むおかしみに気づこうともしない。そんな疲れ切った大人に、うれしいサプライズだ。まずは、当たり前が当たり前でないという意外な発見にびっくり。ミスしゃっくりと一日を終える頃には、彼女のことがたまらなく愛おしくなっている自分を知って、またびっくり」                                                                                             CBC

 

 "A Day in the Life of Miss Hiccup makes Bjork seem normal...The talented Shoshinz, a masterful physical theatre mistress, delivers a spell-binding performance that is silly and child-like, endearing, and sassy all at once."                                                                            Times-Colonist

 

「才能に溢れた小心ズ・フィジカルシアターの女王が生み出すショーは、バカバ カしくて子どものよう、可愛らしくてお洒落。そんな魅力を一気に味わえる。心 を鷲づかみにされる」                    Times-Colonist

 

"Yanomi has brilliant physical acting skills, but her control on her audience as she moves from bit to bit is mind-blowing.

This is a great Fringe show for all ages, breaking down any barriers in purely human movement and emotions expressed in captivating song and at times beautiful movement. A Day in the Life of Miss Hiccup is not to be missed!"                                                        DC Metro Theatre Arts

 

「ヤノミは素晴らしい身体演技力を持っているが、ちょっとしたシーンからシーンへの合間に彼女が観客をコントロールする様は衝撃的に見事だ。全ての年齢層にとって素晴らしい作品であり、魅惑的な歌とそれに合わせた美しい動きの中で表現される、純粋に人間的な動作と感情表現はどんなバリアをも取り除く。」                       DC Metro Theatre Arts

"Try, if you will, to imagine for a moment what Sesame Street might look like if the writers of Sesame Street were under the influence of banned substances...Here is a unique and unpredicable show that will appeal to adults and children alike. Me, I fell in love with it...it is impossible to take your eyes off of her....Miss Hiccup is adorable, mischievous, and full of surprises...with a hypnotic charm that leaves you afraid to blink in case you miss something. Ms. Shoshinz is an impressive talent. Her musical and comic timing are impeccable, and her eyes -- with their huge fake eyelashes -- are fantastically expressive. Miss Hiccup carries you breathlessly along on the simple adventures of her manically choreographed and soundtracked day, and the hour flies. This is physical comedy at its most brilliant and fun, and the show left me with a jaw that ached from laughing."　　　　　　　　　　　　　　Review Vancouver

 

 

 

"I was enthralled by the sheer ridiculousness of Shoshinz, who left me utterly in stitches."　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　Ubyssey

 

"It’s not often you run across a show that is satisfying for adults, kids, performers and stoners of all ages, but that’s exactly what you get with this charming and quite often hilarious fast-paced slice of Tokyo　clowning....Who knew such mundanities as brushing teeth, making breakfast, going to the bathroom and walking in the rain could be so funny? A Day in the Life of Miss Hiccup is a great family show―no wait, make that simply a great show."　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　Monday Magazine

 

  

"My cheeks still hurt from all the laughter and enjoyment I received...The pace of the show was fast, with lots of physical comedy, dance, impressive vocal and of course Miss Hiccup, hiccuping all the way through. Miss Hiccup is an experience all on her own...Miss Hiccup adds an extra level and boy is it ever imaginative, upbeat and laugh out loud fun. This show works for all ages including those grumpy adults who’ve forgotten how to have a good time."　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　Plank Magazine

 

"Serious skills are at play here, with not a glance nor a step wasted…full of kooky surprises."　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　The Montreal Gazette

 

"If you didn’t catch ShoShinz Presents: A Day in the Life of Miss Hiccup, you didn’t Fringe enough this year. This adorable Japanese woman who dresses like an FTD floral bouquet brought us the most charmingly whimsical hour of dialogue-free slapstick ... One look at this living anime acid trip and all I could say was, “Can we take her home, please?”

The Orlando Weekly

 

"Somewhere between touching and surreal, Miss Hiccup is happy, and you will join her joy."　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　Archikulture

 

"...there’s both comedy and beauty in the very small things this woman does."　　　　　　　　　　　Elizabeth Maupin (Orlando theatre critic)

 

"From the country that gave us Hello Kitty comes something, or someone, even cuter: Miss Hiccup...The clown, from Tokyo, has a sweet little routine that provides a steady stream of smiles and laughter. "

Orlando Sentinel

 

"... Miss Hiccup is oddly riveting to watch. There’s no dialogue in this show, but none is needed; she’s able to say so much with just the tick of a shoulder or an arch of an eyebrow. A Day in the Life of Miss Hiccup is weird, wacky and whimsical ― and it’s also one of the most inventive shows at this year’s Fringe. " 　　　　　　　　　　[A] Uptown Magazine

 

 

 

"As clown ratings go, the irresistible Yanomi is right up there with the best of the Cirque du Soleil pros."　　　　　　　　　　The Montreal Gazette

New York Theatre Review

 

 

"If you are looking for a whimsical show with a lot of heart A Day in the Life of Miss Hiccup is the ticket you are looking for. You may walk out of the theater unsure of how to describe what you have participated in, but you will nonetheless be glad for the experience."

"Perfect lighting, impeccable sound, and an intricate yet robust costume round out the factors that make this production worth seeing for any age group. The opening night performance was met with a fully deserved spontaneous standing ovation."

Andrew Snowdon (Ottawa Fully Fringed!)

 

"...we can walk away from this performance with a renewed appreciation for the power of imagination and the ability of a creative and child-like mind to transform ordinary, daily activities and annoyances into a whacky and wonder- filled world."　　　　　　　　Laura Chalk (Regina/prairie dog)

 

"...her prop- and sound-effects-filled one-woman show is surprisingly entertaining. It’s as though she was bumped from Cirque du soleil because she didn’t know any acrobatics."　　　　　　　　　Winnipeg Free Press

 

"Fresh. Unique. Highly Creative. Adorable.

Winner of The 2010 Fringe Crush Fabby Award (meaning EVERYONE loved her) and winner of Thedailycity.com Audience Choice award for Best Make-up and Costume!

"A good indication of this show’s comedic power is that my face hurt from smiling and laughing when I came out of the theatre...Her movements, costuming and lighting were also perfect."　　　　　　Vincent's Victoria

審査員レビュー

由於打嗝小姐只會打嗝跟說著地球人聽不懂的語言，所以觀眾是透過演員豐富的肢體與表情，搭配上音樂與厲害的口技聲響，以及那令人發笑的偶劇表演，好了解打嗝小姐忙碌又有趣的一天！演出中使用的道具都是俯拾即是的小東西，但打嗝小姐用愉快逗趣的動作，以及各式天馬行空的想像，使得這場演出豐富又華麗，場子的氣氛也越炒越熱，原本害羞的觀眾都能夠很自在的參與互動。

 

演出中使用到非常多預錄的聲音與歌曲，但演員卻能很精準地讓自己的表演搭在拍上。不管是動牙刷、還是接水滴，次數與節奏快慢，都猶如是自身發出的音響般，絲毫無破綻，渾然天成呀！

 

『打嗝小姐帶來一場華麗的心靈冒險，表演豐富、生動、音樂性高且充滿節奏感』★★★★★

 

來自日本的『小心思女優Yanomi』自編自導自演打嗝小姐之幸福的一天，透過一位整天打嗝身軀年邁的老婦人，發自內心、由內而外的將一天的忙碌生活變成華麗非凡的神奇旅程，整部戲融合服裝、肢體、舞蹈、口技、音樂、偶戲還有默劇跟隨處可見的生活小道具等，讓這場獨角戲華麗非凡，尤其是貫穿整場的口技跟節奏感，令人不由自主地打起拍子隨之擺動，而在華麗的最高潮又慢慢轉化成內斂的心境，巧妙的安排讓人回歸心靈的沉思，就像是感受了一場每個人都曾擁有過的心靈悸動，真是充滿歡樂及省思的華麗演出。
