What I liked

Assuming this is autobiographical, as one gets the impression it is, it was very honest and revealing. The material was interesting and the presentation top-notch! Great acting!

What I didn't like

The very end of the show was a bit puzzling and could’ve used clarification. But this should not affect one’s enjoyment of the overall performance.

My overall impression

Ellyn Daniels gives a powerful and riveting performance! Assuming this is autobiographical, as it appears to be, she is fearlessly honest in delving into, describing, and portraying her often chaotic life, and doing so with gusto, insight, and a great deal of humor! This dancer, turned model, turned stand-up comic, has suffered more than a few indignities in her personal and professional life. She confronts head-on the many issues facing her: a dysfunctional upbringing, unhealthy relationships, alcoholism, bulimia, career failure and rejection and more. She is bold, direct, courageous, revealing, fascinating, and very funny! A great presentation! I highly recommend this show!
