What I liked

Ali Astin. I was in awe of her talent, after years of studying under some of the best actors. She has that gift that we all hope for. Let it be known that SHE makes the show worth seeing.

What I didn't like

It seemed to pitter out at the end. I felt that the writing wasn’t realistic to what a woman would say, even though Astin carried it out beautifully.

My overall impression

Astin steals the show! From the moment you walk into the theater, she is in character and embodies an empowered escort. Throughout the show, her stage presence is commanding and she connects to the message of feminism flawlessly. Both actors had great chemistry, but I would watch it again for Ali Astin’s performance.
