What I liked

The way Jon engaged the audience was amazing. At times it seemed as though he was only sharing with me.

I also enjoyed his weaving of Shakespeare and then everyday music into his story. There was something for everyone.

What I didn't like

I honestly can’t think of anything that would improve this performance other than, Jon needs a larger venue because all his shows were sold out.

My overall impression

Wow! What a way to tell your truth. Jon took us on a journey through his life. I loved the way he involved the audience in major decision points in his life. What choice should he make? There were poignant periods that made me sad. But just before the tears could fall, Jon made me laugh again! Only a masterful storyteller like Jon, could keep one on such an emotional roller coaster. I can’t wait to experience his next work.
