What I liked

Loaded with charm (and style) Lyla lends her sweet and inspired “Oprah-eye-zin’” insights to web callers who are faced with various kinds of adult bullying—unsupportive families, fat and appearance shaming, mean-spirited neighbors and co-workers, and anti-gay cruelty.

As is, the fresh, funny and oh-so-timely Lyla saga will make you laugh, cry, and hopefully inspire us all to stop taking the shit dished out by those who very likely can’t take it.

What I didn't like

I can’t lie, it’s not a drag. Also see full review.

My overall impression

With “Texas Loves Lyla!” winning Best One Person Show of Hollywood Fringe Festival 2012, together with “Lights, Camera, Lyla!” as a second act, the two promise to be an effective and complete solo powerhouse combining comedy, charm and common sense head smacks.
