What I liked

everything – I literally loved every moment of being in that room.

What I didn't like

nothing -

My overall impression

There is a reason this show swept the Fringe awards and it deserves every award and accolade it’s won. Rainee Blake’s portrayal of icon Joni Mitchell is spot on – note perfect from start to finish. I saw Joni Mitchell live when I was a kid, my cool Uncle took me to the show, I think I was 15. It was 1975 and I remember it all. I teared up a few times because when I closed my eyes, I was back there again listening to her doing the songs, the tuning, the stage banter, all of it. Thank you for reminding me why we love Joni Mitchell and in turn love your performance of her.
