What I liked

The humor, music, connectivity between seemingly unrelated themes/experiences, the audience interaction and connectivity, and the vulnerability. I honestly enjoyed every moment of the show. There wasn’t a single bit I’d cut if I had to.

What I didn't like

I’d like it to be longer. It was so tight but I wasn’t ready for it to be over.

My overall impression

I loved this show like any kid loves cake! What a breath of fresh air in an age of mediocrity (if we’re lucky) and artificiality. An adult coming of age story, Christine took what could have been an overplayed trope and made it uniquely her own. It’s hilarious, heartwarming, relatable, brave, and keeps you on your toes. Her voice is just beautiful and her essence shines throughout. She owns the room! If you want to laugh your ass off and leave inspired, I highly recommend this show.
