What I liked

The way she draws us in is nothing short of spiritual. Two seconds on stage and I would kill and die for this person.

What I didn't like

The current staging is great as it is but it could be cool to watch a version of the show where the projections are more integrated with the performance?

My overall impression

The resilience, poignance and beauty found in such a curveball from life (on so many different levels) is incredibly inspiring. This story is at times heart wrenching, at other times really funny, all told by someone with a stage presence a thousand times her own size.
