Sensational! Larger than life! No one in the audience was safe from Emily's bold and outrageous comedic abilities. We laughed until our faces and bellies hurt. This show is worth seeing again and again. The writing is filled with hysterical and satirical commentary on the shared experiences of what women deal with in the industry and in everyday life. Her voice is powerful and resonant. This collection of characters Emily presents showcases her incredible range as a performer. From sparkling tiaras to nerf guns and cheerios this show really has everything! Bravo!!!... full review
