What I liked

1) Hike’s sincere connection with the audience;
2) The universal relatability of his messages, even if the audience did not have common experiences;
3) The witty and skilled delivery of sometimes heavy or uncomfortable topics.

What I didn't like

Can he squeeze more in?? I don’t think so, but really, the only thing I was left wanting was more Best. Dad. NEVER. A sequel?!

My overall impression

Wow. Blown away. Haig “Hike” Chahinian blew it out of the water. I learned, I laughed, I cried. Haig connects with his audience and imparts wisdom and life experience with humor and modesty. This is the sort of theater that can be transformative, not just to the individual seeing the show, but to society as a whole. Amazing.
