I agree with Tim. I saw the original Vagina Monologues in New York and saw it again in Oklahoma City. Enjoyed both performances. The monologues are not all humorous by any means. Some are funny, some are serious, some are poignant, some sad, but all were thought provoking. I found them interesting and they helped me understand women better. C.
