What I liked

I liked the concept of her using the remote the fast forward/rewind/play; it helps paint the picture of what is taking place for the audience. Lauren has a BEAUTIFUL voice!

What I didn't like

The moment when you Lauren writing in her dairy, and you hear all the different clips of what she is watching, I would get rid of one of the clips, because it makes it a bit too long. Make sure no late seaters come in during her show. Someone came late during her show, and entered right after she makes an exit for a character transition, and they came in from the same place she has to enter, and takes away her focus.

My overall impression

Very entertaining. Very colorful with a great message. There is a nice weaving of different characters all done by one actor. You also get to eat some treats if you get the right seat.
