THE ALLURE OF THUG LIFE

Loved it! Mélia is an endearing good girl book worm, trying to be accepted at her new high school as a “thug,” in spite of her stable home life and married parents. Executed with humor, honesty, and sick beats!... full review

Melia is such an endearing and wildly talented performer who keeps you captivated from start to finish! The writing and characters were so incredibly compelling and Melia pulled them off with such specificity. The laughs are non stop but there were plenty of other strong emotions. Highly recommend this one of a kind show with a one of a kind performer. ... full review
