What I liked

Very funny, smartly written, lots of variety in each of the acts. I like how we got to see various different parts of Melania’s personality, as well as trace her story line back to her humble beginnings.

Telling the story directly to the audience and getting us involved made me feel like a part of her story and I loved it.

What I didn't like

Transitions between the scenes were a little slow when there wasn’t a video, which killed momentum for some of the jokes.

My overall impression

Funny, smart, and tears down a lot of preconceived notions we have about the first lady. A great sketch/variety one woman show that asks how well we really know our celebrities.
