What I liked

The entire ensemble was strong and supported eachother very well on stage.

Spoilers follow:

Jingyao Zhao as Ashley did a superb job of carrying the flow of the narrative and her relationships with the other characters were easily the highlight of this piece.

John Jiang took a great turn as the loveable Bob, and then was almost unrecognizable as the Toilet King, so different was his body language and stature.

Summer Xia showed a lot of range between playing a teenage best friend and a very cold nurse. Her acting did a lot to move us into the final moments of absurdity and reflection.

Yuchen Zhou was delightful in both of his roles and had strong comedic timing. His Star Wars pajamas were a very fun choice.

Shuwen Pan did a commendable job bringing emotion to an emotionless AI character. Her role served a very central role and stood out despite appearing very late into the story.

Lights, sets, and costumes were all exactly what they needed to be and added just enough flavor to this performance.

What I didn't like

N/A

My overall impression

A sweet and genuine story full of likeabke characters and very slight moments of absurdity. A very pleasant script and story with good direction. I reccomend this if you are in the mood for something with a lot of heart.
