What I liked

Cyrus comes out of the gate with the fantasy version of himself, and we can’t help but get caught up in his vision of a playful, sexy “hot bitch!”

But since life isn’t so simple, he takes us on the journey through what gets in the way of him living out this dream, and he doesn’t let himself off the hook when exploring what’s not working in his quest. The show is at its best and most dramatic when he shares with us his own missteps, and the grace given to him by people who love him.

His character work is hilarious and sharp!

What I didn't like

My overall impression

Cyrus is an utter delight to watch, by turns hilarious, sweet, sad, sexy, silly, and vulnerable. In this tale of growing up the son of immigrant parents who don’t fully understand him, we see where that makes it difficult for him to accept himself and the people who try to get close to him. He experiences heartbreak, confusion, and ultimately growth. So many laughs and heartfelt moments!
