What I liked

Mara lets you inside of her head–literally–taking you on a journey that makes you think, ‘Oh my God, I’m not the only one.’ This show will have you laughing out loud and crying, but ultimately, you’ll find yourself relating to everything she says. That’s what makes this show so powerful to me. It’s a show everyone should see–an outstanding piece of work. I truly believe it needs to live a long life because it carries a message the whole world needs to hear. This show is simply magical.

What I didn't like

Outstanding, Perfection, Brilliant!

My overall impression

Mara gives an honest, visceral experience–sharing her struggles and exposing every ounce of herself. Through her performance, you can’t help but feel her pain, watch her raw emotion, and also laugh out loud because she is absolutely hilarious. I loved watching her transform her beautiful mess into a profound mess we can all learn from. It is raw. It’s honest. It’s inspiring. And it will hijack your own mind long after you watch it!
