What I liked

The metaphor of embracing one’s shadow self, and all of the intricacies and voices in our head that we’re constantly trying to make sense of. I found it deeply relatable, and at the same time incredibly personal. It really was so impressive to witness.

What I didn't like

A few of the songs could have been shorter, only because I loved the on-stage bickering of the different characters, and it could have been fun to see more back-and-forth.

My overall impression

The authentic vulnerability and heart of this show was of superhero proportions. I left in absolute awe of the powerhouse that is Emma Olsen. The tiny details were what really won over my heart, from the fabulous colorful lighting to the embroidered details of the dress, there was so much to take in and by the end I left feeling a little more love and grace for myself, too. Thank you for sharing this with us!
