What I liked

Johnny as an energetic, go go dancing Spider Man! His energy is infectious and serves his storytelling. From his multiple costumes, to his impressive dance moves, everything he did was captivating! He truly is an entertaining performer. What I particularly enjoyed was his encouragement for the audience to vocally participate during the show, which enhanced the enjoyment and strengthened the bond he effortlessly establishes with the crowd. I was moved by Johnny’s vulnerability as he shared his personal connection with his grandmother and the profound impact her passing had on him. Johnny radiates positivity and doesn’t judge others and that is a beautiful reminder to all of us to not be judgmental. I walked away from the show uplifted and in admiration of Johnny for following his heart!

What I didn't like

Not necessarily what could be improved but I was curious why specifically Johnny felt he had to leave his home. He doesn’t have to share that but I was left wondering what in particular made it feel like he had no other choice but to leave.

My overall impression

Johnny’s performance had me enthralled. The way he weaves his stories and connects with the audience gives you the sensation of embarking on a shared voyage through his life with him.
With absolute charm, Johnny effortlessly invites you into his realm, evoking the myriad of emotions that accompany venturing into uncharted territories. He serves as a poignant reminder of the highs and lows that come with embracing an unfamiliar path.
