I watch renovation shows, maybe even obsessively, and usually -- even if I have arguments with some of the methods, materials used, or the authenticity of the narrative -- thoroughly enjoy most. And I am not a revisionist; artifacts from an era prior to being woke do belong in a museum, or the like. Lest we forget. But this show need serious expurgation and/or redaction by its makers and participants. I cannot watch the destruction of native plants, pollinators, and drought-friendly landscaping even if it did happen 10 years ago. Teach your children to respect nature and step away from over-irrigated yards that are in a chemical stupor.

Wow, got your attention with 1 star. Musically, artistically, theatrically = 5 stars, but WHA? is Della doing. Is she angry because like so many of her brothers and sisters, she's been forced to sing the white songbook for her bread and butter, and solely the for pleasure of those with the ways and means . . . is it a challenge to that status quo, perhaps even a satire with massively pounding beats that can be heard back to the west coast (no not Calif.) , a call to arms, a call to take it back? The lyrics are ground up and spit back out atcha. Every once in a while Della's vocal chords loosen, just a hint of all that flava you be missing.
