Outstanding show! Hilarious from top to bottom but I was also really impressed by the emotional breadth of the journey Melanie took us on in such a short time.... full review

VERY special!!!!... full review

This was the best one person show I have ever seen (I’ve seen a lot). It was real and beautiful and funny. Melanie shared her life in a way that’s relatable to us all. It was brilliantly written, brilliantly performed, and I could watch it over and over again. ... full review

As an actor kicking around this town for awhile who is originally from a small town, I felt this show was my life story. I laughed, I secretly cried, I felt the anxiety.... full review

Fantastic show, did not want it to end. Melanie had me captivated and left me wishes it want over or I could see it again. Truly magnificent!... full review

Funny, honest, hopeful - this show can strike a chord with almost anyone in the audience who has fancied themself a "special." ... full review

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
