PAUL MAJOR uncertified reviewer June 20, 2010
I was fortunate enough to see Kimleigh's show some time back when she performed for Evolve Cinema at the Bravo Cucina venue. She really stunned me. Then I got a chance to see her show again last night and I have to say, "GO SEE IT NOW!". This show is a roller-coaster that had me in stitches and sincerely touched (both times I saw it). One of the strongest bits of storytelling I've seen out here, sincerely.... full review

I just can't say enough about how totally totally KIMLEIGH is! She brings the house down with her charm and super womanness! I left cheering for this spectacular cheerleader who takes charge of her life!... full review

If I go see a higher standard of show than this at the fringe I will be very surprised. It captivates and entrances you from beginning to end and Kimleigh Smith's exuberant and larger than life performance is no less than oustanding. There's no point in me giving away the story but it is a classic triumph over advesity tale that struugles to remove itself from the memory long after the show has ended. I would like to add that Miss Smith is also a lovely person away from the stage and was happy to chat to anyone after her show. I wish her every sucess with this show in the future and would love to see her at the Edinburgh fringe festival with it one day!!!... full review

Totally incredible. Kimleigh has you from the moment she steps onto stage. I'm so glad I got a chance to see this wonderful production. If you are still not sure what to see then you haven't heard about this amazing show. See it! ... full review

When you see the physical demands of Kimleigh Smith's role in this one woman show, you begin to wonder if you're watching a play or the Mental Circus at King King. She moves like a sixteen year old gymnast, and according her play, she's weighed as much as one hundred and ninety five pounds. This girl can move, and the energy of the performance never falters. For the majority of the play, Kimleigh relives a devastating night in her life and the post traumatic repression that blocks all memory of said night. Playing her seventeen year old cheerleader self, Kimleigh uses a lot of cheer gestures and positions to emphasize bits of the story. I feel this was at times a bit excessive and even a little indicative. She's obviously very charming i... full review

Kimleigh Smith captivates and warms your heart with her energy and Charm. She soars through the audience high kicking it In her cheerleading college uniform and literally spells out her cheers while reliving her innocence and shedding light on a (date) rape experience that caused repressed memories and hysterical paralysis. The story is important and is about survival rather than victimization. Miss Smith is a powerful survivor whose humor and self acceptance makes you need to hug her by show end...if not for her sake but for your own, hoping her super woman dust and strength will rub off a little. ... full review
BOB LEGGETT certified reviewer June 22, 2010
This was by far the finest theater experience I have ever had. The pre-show music set the mood and continued throughout. Kimleigh is incredible - she sings, she dances, she makes you laugh! Her improv skills were evident, as she made the audience a part of her performance. The story was intensely personal and inspiring. Kimleigh and T-O-T-A-L-L-Y both deserve an award for this nugget of theater gold!... full review

I had to go back and see it again, so impressed was I the first time. And Kimleigh did not disappoint - a remarkable woman and a remarkable story. As is the case with live theater, there were small differences between Monday's performance and today, but they just made me love this woman and her performance even more. Thank God for Kimleigh!... full review
ANONYMOUS uncertified reviewer June 21, 2010
Kimleigh Smith is a force of nature. The physical demands alone are enough to leave the audience stunned, but mixed with a warmth and baudiness that morphs an experience that would crush others, Ms Smith tells a tale of self-discovery that would empower the most depleted soul.... full review
