What I liked

Lighting was fantastic, soundtrack was totally on point, singing and voicing was masterfully crafted and executed in a way that was entertaining while not being gimmicky.

What I didn't like

More showings and perhaps a little more audience interaction (although I was satisfied with the amount of interaction, so this is a greedy remark).

My overall impression

Hilarious and insightful. Glennis commanded the stage and an insane range of emotion: from quipping witticisms to complete breakdowns with beautifully painful lines culled from the deepest pits of addiction and self deprecation. Extremely relatable story for anybody who has had addictions or had a loved one with an addiction.

The format itself was amazingly unique. Parts reminding me of the best portions of Godot and others smacking of the best night at a musical improv.
