Achingly relatable, blisteringly funny, and a treat to watch! Christina is a one of a kind writer whose sharp, joke dense writing, is still vulnerable and real. From the set dressing, to her physicality, to the music (Swifties, there's a treat for you!) this show is phenomenal :P... full review

Christina oozes confidence on stage. Every line is delivered with calm precision. And every joke gets a laugh. Christina looks like she knows exactly what she’s doing and owns the space. She could teach a masterclass. Christina’s story hits hard with the realization that her parents will never value anything she does as much as marring an Indian man. It’s a chilling thought when you look at this accomplished young woman with her endless attributes. But it certainly haunts her enough to ignore her screaming intuition. I found myself quoting lines from the show to friends I found it so funny, ‘a guy told me my pussy is like a water park’. Christina is sharp and to the point. ... full review

Masteful storytelling, listening to Christina feels like having a deep talk with your friends late at night. An authentic exploration of love, identity, and ultimately heartbreak, Christina still manages to inject bits of humor throughout. A show with a lot of heart, that had me remembering things I've said myself in therapy. Would recommend.... full review

CONSTANCE JAQUAY STRICKLAND certified reviewer June 18, 2024
To see this beautiful brown-skinned girl walk onstage and break cultural expectations is a gift of the times. Christina has this magical way with words, an ability to reach right out into the audience and relate to us in a familiar and friendly way. We know her. I Hope You Heal is a funny, personal, intimate, and painful exploration of betrayal that is both thrilling and devastating. Through a series of chapters, we are taken on a beautiful ride as we witness Christina discover her worth and find self-love by realizing that who she is and where she comes from makes her unique. To see her inhabit her own authentic story within those truths is a lesson to us all. Ultimately, this show invites the audience to heal parts of ourselves that are in... full review

The story was beautifully written and crafted and I was glued into each chapter. ... full review
