What I liked

Excellent use of music, especially John Farnham! #Banger
Wonderful use of the stage and blocking, moving us back and forth with Pamela’s tale and her places within it.

What I didn't like

More performances would’ve been nice, if only just one more in order to get more butts in more seats to appreciate the joy of this show.

My overall impression

This show is an absolute delight. Kristelle Zibara’s Pamela is so instantly likable, it’s hard not to root for this lovable Aussie the moment of the lights come up, and she’s stepped off the plane at LAX without her cardigan. Funny and sweet and even moving at times. One Person Shows are a high level of difficulty in theater, and it’s impressive to see one pulled off so deftly. Zibara has a wonderful sense of character and world building, that by the end of the show, I found myself endeared to Pamela and even had a few tears rolling down my cheeks. I will definitely be on the lookout for future works from this exceptional storyteller. Fantastic!
