What I liked

I enjoyed the whole thing from beginning to end. But Aria’s songs are the showpiece of the production. Every one hit home emotionally for me – partially because the writing is so brilliant and partially because the musical arrangements support the melodies Aria sings in such a vibrant way.

What I didn't like

Everything about Aria’s production worked for me.

My overall impression

What a wonderful one woman show Aria has produced. I’m so glad my wife and I made time to who see it. It’s an autobiographical tale of overcoming obstacles to find inspiration and ultimately her true self. You can get filled in on the details when you go see Aria’s performance for yourself. I can tell you the story moved me deeply and the music, which was the highlife for me, infused the narrative with soul, delight, tragedy and ultimately hope. All day today, I’ve been visited by the melody and words of Aria’s original songs, which she sings with the most lovely voice. A real treat.
