What I liked

Laser effortlessly weaves his story and the stories of trans men in history and explores gender in a way that is deeply personal and encourages audiences to (re)consider their own understanding of the construct. The music was wonderful and heartfelt and fun. And I absolutely loved every time Laser got to school Joanne Rowling.

What I didn't like

there were small tech timing issues but I know those will adjust!

My overall impression

An excellent show. Funny, endearing, eye-opening, educational, vulnerable, honest. Laser is a joy to watch.
