Big with a B

This show was an innovative, unflinching, soul-bearing and deeply relatable remembering of a lifetime spent in a body first called "too big" by young cousins, then-generously and authentically-the ways the refrain reverberated throughout one young woman's years. While one might be tempted to read the above and decide they would be witnessing a theatrical delve into an individual's life and not a show that had anything to do with them, Big with a B cuts straight through the rind of many unique lives and leaves the audience collectively staring at the same pulpy fear of each heart in the room-the question of being "too" something to love, and the courage to overcome. ... full review

Big With a B was exactly what was needed. Brianna captures a life that is both incredibly special and uniquely personal, yet so deeply relatable. As a big girl, this meant everything to me.

The show touches on so many emotional moments in a young girl’s life and reminds the audience to show up for themselves and the different bodies that surround them. The heart behind it is truly palpable.... full review

What an incredible performance! This one-woman musical was absolutely captivating from start to finish. Not only was the performer immensely talented, but knowing she also wrote the show makes it even more impressive. The writing was sharp, clever, heartfelt, vulnerable and laugh-out-loud funny. She seamlessly carried the entire production on her own (with Lindsey, Ken and Nico), creating memorable characters and moments that kept the audience fully engaged. A brilliantly written and beautifully executed show—I left inspired, entertained, and wanting more.... full review
