My overall impression

#ChanceItLA – This parody is utterly ridiculous, yet clever. As I am not well versed in all of the specific YA novels they were mocking – Hunger Games, Divergent, etc – I missed quite a bit of the humor, but knew enough – Twilight, Harry Potter, etc – to still enjoy myself. They have a very specific demographic and I feel like that group would find this piece hysterical, but the further outside of that demographic you travel, the less you will enjoy it. I would also suggest, for the sake of future audiences, that Leslie Ranne reign her scream in a bit – the space is not big enough to handle that robust of a vocalization.
