What I liked
EVERYTHING!!! Her singing, her honesty, her humor, her beauty!! Is there a character-maximum for this review? Whatever it is, I need MORE to accurately describe how sensational this show is!!!
What I didn't like
IMPROVED?!?! Ha!! Yeah right. Can you “improve” the wheel? I think not. I would have sat there mesmerized for hours if it’d been longer. I would have unapologetically asked for a bedpan so I didn’t have to miss a second of her onstage!
My overall impression
🤯 Does an emoji work for this? Mind blown!! The raw power, and honesty, with which this tale is intricately woven took me on an emotional rollercoaster I was unprepared for. I went from full-bodied belly laughs, to honest-to-god tears, and back again! The phrase “Voice of an Angel” gets thrown around with the frequency of the word “literally” with regard to singers, but that doesn’t even come close to the aural journey I was taken on for STAGES by Emily Goglia. This stage is too small for her and her voice. A residency is a Vegas casino is too small for this powerhouse of a woman.
