What I liked

This story has what I like to have most traditional stories in terms of storytelling. It has a beginning, a middle and an end. I love the quality of the actress who stars in this one woman show, she is a blend of Ana Gaseteyer and Sutton Foster if the two of them could somehow have a child, she would be the result, and yes that is a compliment because I love the both of those actresses.

What I didn't like

No notes to give at this time. I really enjoyed this show and her performance.

My overall impression

Magnificent show! A very well crafted one woman show that’s craved out with beautiful moments that will make you laugh and make you cry at different parts throughout. So many memorable moments. As an autistic man myself, I love how delicately she handles the moments in her life when she discovers that her first daughter Emory has autism. Those moments are very vulnerable, honest and truthful.
