What I liked

Vivia shares details of some challenging and vulnerable experiences moving through the world in a fat body, which really stuck with me. I especially loved her hierarchy of fatness at WW. I love her various character portrayals, many of which are hilarious and all of which are astute. Her description of the rare condition that caused her to drop a ton of weight but left her with serious other problems was fascinating and thought-provoking. It was hard to believe this was the global premiere of her show, her performance and material felt so polished.

What I didn't like

I enjoyed the show the way it was.

My overall impression

A moving story about a driven woman’s quest for self-love and acceptance with lots of great, unexpected humor and a magnetic, lovable, accomplished performer.
