What I liked

I loved the small space and set up. It makes it very raw. The way Michelle stages her show and moves through her journey allows you to join her and disappear into this amazing world of hers. Michelle’s performance is off the charts. The sound and lights are also on point aiding in taking you along.

What I didn't like

Nothing!

My overall impression

Wow! This is the second time I have seen this show, the first being a preview performance last year while Michelle was working on it. And let me tell you, the growth in this piece is amazing. Michelle’s writing and performance are easily some of the best you will see at Fringe this year. Her story will break your heart, bring you to tears, and lift you up. It’s hilarious at times. It’s incredibly heartfelt at times. And thanks to the space, this show is in your face. It’s bold and unforgiving. Michelle is not only vulnerable with her piece, but she shows you just how strong someone can be. I cannot recommned this show enough!
