What I liked

Bonnie is an engaging, sincere performer with a lovely singing voice. Plus, it’s an interesting concept for a show. I mean, who wouldn’t want to shrink to a microscopic level and explore their body?

What I didn't like

I enjoyed the show, and I feel like the more Bonnie does it (I saw the preview), the more comfortable she’ll get maneuvering the characters (not to mention the terrain of her body) and pushing the boundaries, hence, taking the audience on a ride with ALL the highs and lows… irreverence and hilarity… she hopes to deliver.

My overall impression

You don’t need to be knowledgable about the Magical School bus to enjoy this show, but if you are a fan of the cartoon, you oughtta check out Bonnie’s take. She’s a talented performer with a great voice, and I bet with more shows, she’ll get more comfortable pushing the boundaries and limits of her characters (and body). The more she’s able to do that, the more of a ride it will be for everyone involved. We’re with you Bonnie! Through the good, the bad, and the gurgly!
