What a crazy show! Lola’s descent into madness is both hilarious and terrifying. Asta gives an incredibly energetic and magnetic performance.... full review
ALEX KERN certified reviewer June 13, 2023
Asta is a powerhouse. She's an unbelievable performer with wide emotional range and boundless energy. It was exciting (and disconcerting at times) to follow her character on such an up and down ride. I was on the edge of my seat the entire time! Only a seasoned performer could execute this complex of a performance with such conviction and heart and Asta does just that. ... full review

I had so much fun at this show. The work that Asta put into her character Lola is incredible. She truly disappears into this over the top struggling actress that you can't help but smile throughout the show. And as much as it is funny, this show has a lot of heart. The work between director and actor is very evident here and we the audience get taken on a wild ride that shows just how crazy things can get here in Hollywood.... full review
RICHARD PARR uncertified reviewer June 08, 2023
Bombastic, frenetic, out of control, grandly grandiose, delusional, wildly optimistic, horribly lost, suddenly dark, self-important, positively self-absorbed, craving affection or is it attention(?), tone deaf and hypersensitive, brilliant, talented, and a self-perception bias tending to loser.

Is the actor's performance grounded? Lola apparently isn't, and then we see perhaps the key to Lola is that she is... full review
CHRISTOPHER BROSNAN uncertified reviewer June 08, 2023
This show is an absolute blast from start to finish. It starts at an absolutely frantic pace and doesn't slow down for the entire run. The pace maintains even when it brings you back down to earth and reminds you of whats at stake in the plot. Also its hilarious. It felt like the whole audience was laughing for an hour straight.... full review

SUPER funny dark comedy!... full review
DREW PETRIELLO uncertified reviewer June 06, 2023
"Desperate" is the key word in this title as Lola Luvv's desperation leads her to increasingly bizarre lengths to get the attention of a famous director who, I personally think, is overrated, but that makes the situation even more hilarious to me. That said, the sense of stakes felt way off.... full review
