What I liked

Suzannah’s talent is undeniable — but what truly sets this performance apart is the way she shares herself. Her storytelling is fearless and vulnerable, filled with honesty and authenticity that makes every moment land with impact. I laughed so hard I cried multiple times — something I genuinely can’t remember the last time experiencing. Her facial expressions, body language, and transitions between characters were flawless, and the way she wove her stories together was nothing short of brilliant. It felt like I was watching multiple people on stage — each fully embodied and distinct. And yet, through it all, it was her heart that shined brightest.

Do yourself a favor: go see this show. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll leave feeling more human.

What I didn't like

honestly nothing!

My overall impression

Suzannah’s one-woman show is nothing short of a revelation. It FAR exceeded any expectations I could have had — and then some. She delivers a masterclass in storytelling with a performance that is at once hilarious, heartfelt, and deeply human. With razor-sharp comedic timing, jaw-dropping impressions, and an emotional range that will leave you breathless, she transforms the stage into a living, breathing world of unforgettable characters and stories. This show is a gift — raw, real, and wildly entertaining from start to finish. If you’re lucky enough to catch it, prepare for the best 90 minutes of your week.
