What I liked

The show was fun and brisk, it moved well and Ayo absolutely killed it as the leading lady. The storyline was relatable, but had enough twists from the expected to keep the audience fully engaged throughout.

What I didn't like

The biggest thing I can point to is the audio announcements in the show were sometimes hard to understand. They are critical to the plot and I would caution to make sure the audience can hear the words.

My overall impression

A wonderfully written and brilliantly acted tour-de-force! This is everything a one-person show should be… the audience instantly engaged with the performer, the story was well-structured and the audience was happy to go along on the adventure. I am so thrilled I got to see this show. Ayo Majek created an intimate journey that was not just fun to watch, but the twists and turns were unexpected and tugged at the heartstrings more than once. The direction was pinpoint perfect, and created an entire world on the stage. I hope this show goes on to find more audiences through additional performances; it was a delight and all of the success is well deserved.
