What I liked

Melia is an incredible performer who tells a simultaneously relatable and very unique story. The writing is so sharp and specific and the characters fully come to life. The music adds that extra something that really cements this as a one of a kind show. If someone doesn’t option this (after the writer’s strike) they are making a huge mistake!!!

What I didn't like

N/A

My overall impression

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.
