Mel was great! Very humorous story about a small town woman moving to L.A. and trying to make it in show biz...her high expectations of herself don't quite pan out as she planned. Embedded in the humor was her experience with anxiety and how she ultimately came to love and accept herself as she is, whether or not she ultimately becomes a successful actor. These are feelings to which many can relate, regardless of life path or career choice. Very much enjoyed the show!... full review

I laughed, I cried, I had a long period of introspection afterwards. Mel was captivating and downright hilarious, and told an emotional story that had me hooked in the very opening moment. It was a rollercoaster and I loved every second of the ride!... full review

This show had me gripped from the moment Melanie appeared onstage. It was wonderfully vulnerable, hilarious, quirky, and fantastical. Melanie mixes blind optimism and her deepest fears into one wild, fun, heart wrenching 50 minute show. I laughed, I cried, I related deeply to the topic. It was one of those shows where you could feel the entire audience was hanging on to every single word. ... full review
