What I liked

I found the “real” talk pleasant. Hannah was playing herself – no sugarcoating truths (or lies) or over-dramatizing life’s ups and downs. Real is refreshing to see in the Fringe. 11-Year Old Hannah was pretty precious too and really let her adult-self have it and I laughed my rear off at their many interactions!

What I didn't like

Since I’m “that” Carol from your show, I will say that I can actually throw a basketball better from a standing position better than a seated one. Just sayin’…

My overall impression

From concept to execution, this whole show pretty much stole my heart. Who doesn’t love an honest heart-to-heart conversation with their 11-year old PUPPET-like self? Who wouldn’t want to call their adult-self out on some of the b.s. coming down the pike? Who wouldn’t be both surprised or terrified of several truth bombs being hurled at you by yourself, while also finding comfort from that same self? All I can say is that Hannah and Cole were both thoroughly entertaining from start to finish – Cross My Heart!
