What I liked

The glow-in-the-dark ropes, the outfits, the production value and content of the music, and the accent work!

What I didn't like

I wish Jackie had a mic! It would create more of a positive impact on the overall performance.

My overall impression

What a fun, inspiring and thoughtful show! Jackie delivered a phenomenal, emotional performance. When I first heard about it, I didn’t exactly understand how bondage could heal. My curiosity was satiated. The answers were strategically laid out throughout the immersive storytelling. I learned a lot about BDSM etiquette, mental health disorders, and a general understanding of Jackie’s inner psyche. I loved the transitions between pivotal scenes. The scene with Jackie’s mom berating her got me emotional. Luckily, that scene gets addressed later on. Consequently, I like that the different storylines came full circle towards the end of the show. It provided emotional release and resolution that was necessary to the show. Well done Jackie!
