Fifty Shades of Melania

alyssa virker · June 29, 2019 certified reviewer
This show was funny, cleverly written, and the best part of course was its very charismatic leading lady! Liana is a fantastic performer and is so much fun to watch. I loved the concept of "who really is Melania?" versus who the people of America want her to be. ... full review

An absolutely stunning show that had me captivated from start to finish. There was so much tension and I was raptured the whole time. The themes were so smart and beautifully articulated. And the surreal tone really added a beautiful shimmer to the whole production. And wonderful actors!... full review

Raised By Wolves

alyssa virker · June 24, 2019 certified reviewer
I have never been so moved. Black has a wild story to tell, but it's the way she tells it that is so incredibly impressive -- so skillful, funny, and heart-wrenching. Her specific story has much to say about love, survival, and hope. And she's a performer you will fall head over heels in love with. I can't recommend this show enough, or anything Black ever does again for that matter. I keep trying to explain to people in how unbelievable this show is, but you just have to see it! It's genius!... full review

Johnny '81 - Boyhood Tales from West Hollywood

alyssa virker · June 23, 2019 certified reviewer
Johnny is a great poet and storyteller who had one hell of a year in '81. His anecdotes are charming, shocking, and heartfelt. And everything that's set up throughout the show comes together at the end in a very powerful way.... full review

HOLLYWOODN'T

alyssa virker · June 18, 2019 certified reviewer
An amazing story that needs to be told. Verlo explores sexuality from all angles in a way that's so fascinating and nuanced to see all come together. She did an amazing job showing many of the defining moments in her life without telling you what to think. You just felt it. The show is witty, poignant, brave, and in our culture - so necessary! A super honest, beautiful performance that will leave you with so much to think about long after you leave the theater. ... full review
