What I liked

The characters and the story are universal. We all share MaryLee’s story of self-doubt and procrastination. Such wonderful writing and what a strong performance.

What I didn't like

I liked it all. Go far with this show, MaryLee. I’d see it again.

My overall impression

Ohmigod, this show was such a strong story, so relatable and MaryLee Herrmann masterfully transitioned between her various characters. It was funny, warm, heartbreaking and such a pleasure to watch. The audience was both laughing and by the end in tears and gave her a well-deserved standing ovation when she came out for her final bow. Wow! What a show. Highly recommended! One of the best Fringe shows I’ve ever seen, and I’ve seen Fringe shows in several U.S. cities. Don’t miss this one! I’ll go see it again. A real treat to see such an honest performance of such a deeply-personal story.
