What I liked

I really loved the structure of her script and how much she was able to cover in her show while still giving us quality emotional content in her show. I often see you with solo shows that they try to tackle too many subjects and you are not able to really latch on to a particular topic, however, Rheagan does a brilliant job of painting a picture, a full picture of what her life was like as a child star and where she is now. I really loved her strong presence and commitment to her show. I learned so much about what it would be like to be a child actor, and I have so much more sympathy for them now than I ever did before.

What I didn't like

Nothing! Go see the show!

My overall impression

This show and Rheagan’s performance quite literally had me on the edge of my seat. I kept inching closer and closer and closer to the stage as she was performing because she was so captivating. I couldn’t get over how captivating her performance was and she truly has that “it “factor we talk about and truly hope we have as performers. I especially loved a section of her show that is quite heavy, I love the way she handled it with sensitivity, but also created a theatrical experience that made me feel like I was there and true empathy for her experience.
