Katherine is such a talented performer. From the very beginning, we were all invested in her character and eager to see where she was going to take us. Spoiler alert: I did not anticipate Free Willy, and was delighted by the dark turn. ... full review

Prince Harry: Live! At Coachella

alex kern · June 23, 2023 certified reviewer
WHAT A TIME! I knew this was going to be good but Chris blew me away. The conceit for the show alone is so unique, so clever, but it's Chris' execution of it all that makes Prince Harry a stand out show. Chris' songwriting and singing ability is unmatched. The show is hilarious and oh so smart. Chris' ability to weave in his humor, even when sipping a water bottle, is a joy to behold. ... full review

Claire has an uncanny ability to draw us into her unique world, one where we have no idea what will happen at the next turn, but are evermore enthralled.... full review

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
