What I liked
One of the strongest aspects of So Baby is its character dynamics Geometry Dash Lite. Each roommate brings a distinct personality and worldview, and the tension between them feels natural rather than forced. Miri’s hopeful, slightly naïve perspective contrasts well with Jordyn’s commanding presence and Roksana’s self-focused ambition, creating a constantly shifting emotional triangle.
I also appreciated the play’s modern relevance. It doesn’t shy away from discussing identity, ambition, race, privilege, and personal power in a college environment. These themes are woven into everyday interactions, making them feel grounded rather than preachy.
What I didn't like
While the character conflict is compelling, at times the story feels like it leans heavily on constant tension without enough breathing space. A few quieter moments between the characters could help the emotional stakes land more deeply.
Some viewers may also find that certain character motivations could be more clearly developed, especially in moments where decisions escalate conflicts quickly. A bit more backstory or reflection might help make their choices feel even more grounded.
My overall impression
So Baby is a sharp, modern comedic drama that dives into the chaos of early college life, identity, and power struggles between young women forced into close quarters. The play captures the intensity of freshman-year emotions—ambition, insecurity, friendship, and rivalry—while balancing humor with uncomfortable honesty. Overall, it feels like a bold, character-driven piece that reflects the pressures of “peak college admissions insanity” and what comes after the acceptance letter.
