My overall impression

Going into this show I didn’t know what to expect with no prior knowledge about the plot or it’s ratings and I was pleasantly surprised. The story is about 27 year old Janey who takes a “buzzfeed” quiz that predicts her death which brings the sudden realization to Janey that she isn’t famous enough to die which might be the most relatable thing I’ve ever heard. This one-woman rock musical is so simple yet fabulous.

The music was great which I did not expect really. It was witty and simple and memorable as later through the night I founds her songs stuck in my head. The lighting was straightforward which as basic as that sounds can a lot of times he lacking in a show. The theatre was bigger than most and had and a bar right at the entrance. And the acting by Katie Molinaro was seamless. Molinaro made me feel like she wasn’t acting and was actually a self-absorbed valley girl but after the show meeting her was a pleasure. Everything about this show was great and made me laugh the whole way through.

If this isn’t on your list to see I highly recommend it. The show is high energy and fun for everyone considering I’m a 16 year old boy who saw it with my mother and we both enjoyed it equally.
