Christina’s portrayals of her mother and father were outstanding. Too bad there isn’t an acting category among the Fringe awards because Christina would nab it in a millisecond. Her use of pet names for some of the characters, including references to Star Wars, was so creative, so truthful, and—no surprise—simply side-splitting. I could watch Christina perform—and bare her soul as she did tonight—for hours. 100%!!
What I didn't like

My overall impression
“Bathroom Diaries” by the brilliant Christina Marie Leonard is devastatingly beautiful. Christina’s gut-wrenching saga told through her hilarious storytelling style had me laughing in stitches, and then in tears by the end. Christina is so very lovable as a protagonist on stage, I couldn’t help but root for her as soon as the stage lights went up. I had the rare experience during the 50-minute outing of laughing out loud while my heart ached—all from Christina’s abundant, raw talent. She’s a powerhouse of writer, actor, comedian, and all-around artist. If you like powerhouse performances, enjoy laughing, and would like a glimpse into our collective humanity, go see Bathroom Diaries asap!!
