What I liked

The pacing, direction, and performance were just exquisite. Very intimate. An important show for more of Los Angeles specifically to hear.

What I didn't like

Smallest note: slightly consider the length of the song and slideshow to give more time to her amazing storytelling and performance. I simply wanted more of her acting :)

My overall impression

An incredibly vulnerable, heartbreaking, explorative, honest, and moving solo solo show about OCD and trauma. Her story is VERY personal. By the end, half the audience was in tears – myself included. The pacing and direction were phenomenal. The storytelling was spectacular. It’s a very, VERY good show – one that deserves encores and more support so it can get its reps in. All the laurels!
