What I liked

Her crowd work was impeccable, no one was left out! Loved her heartfelt Barbie-esque monologue and her ability to make us all simultaneously groan and laugh at the absurdity of these tropes. Also, the fan. Nearly took me out with that one 😂

What I didn't like

Sometimes the musical/dialogue interludes got lost under the hooting and hollering of the crowd (we were excited, I blame us!!). Otherwise seamless!!

My overall impression

Refreshingly unhinged! Emily wasn’t afraid to push to outrageous heights with each character and I couldn’t wipe the goofy smile off my face the entire show. She had the crowd eating out of the palm of her hand, every new character reveal was awaited with giddiness!
