What I liked

Liza is a total pro. There were moments when she improvised or broke the fourth wall which were enjoyable and made the show feel very alive, all while proving the masterful performer that she is. I loved the superhero storyline, which felt very playful and fun to balance out the more intense moments of the show. And I had so much fun dancing to the BOPS of songs and waving my glowsticks in tune with Liza! So cute!

What I didn't like

The band felt like they were itching for even more moments to interact with Liza or musically accentuate her hilarious or tender moments! That could be fun to play with. Loved that there was a live band, sounded so great and professional.

My overall impression

Liza has an incredible stage presence, with the literal energy of a SUPERNOVA! She is extremely raw and vulnerable in her show, laying everything out for us to experience on her journey with her. The show had laugh-out-loud comedic moments, MULTIPLE original songs with a LIVE BAND!!!!, and heart-wrenching storytelling moments. She is such a natural and comfortable storyteller and performer.
