Comments

  1. Sanaibrahim: she's barely contained, but somehow still relatable
  2. Arlo: i was cringing so hard at the first minute, she's really not afraid to bare herself
  3. Rogue Phantom: her desperation is palpable but i'm still not sold on the satire
  4. Noah: what's striking me is how relatable the desperation feels, but also a bit unsettling
  5. Noahmorenoxo: she just gets it, somehow captures the ridiculous desperation
  6. Miaadeyemi: she's just so desperate to make it, you can feel the panic
  7. Halcyon Talon: think the writer captures Julia Grogan's desperation really well, but I'm not sure it's painful funny, feels more like a nervous breakdown to me
  8. Void Beacon: she's got some real desperation written all over her face
  9. Danelarsen: loved how she tore into the whole trying-too-hard thing
  10. Lucasp: the desperation is palpable but also kind of beautiful in its honesty
  11. Aidenh: her desperation feels so palpable I almost felt bad for the character
  12. Frost Beacon: i was expecting a dance piece, but instead it's just someone standing and talking about dancing
  13. Elias: god julia grogan is just so talented and real with this portrayal, it's like she's holding up a mirror to your own anxiety as an artist. that teeth-brushing
  14. Fathom Echo: yeah she really nails the absurdity of performing when you're not actually good at it, reminds me of myself after every mediocre art school critique
  15. Rubyreyesxo: I've seen myself in those desperate, scrabbling characters before, especially the ones trying to make it big with every ounce of charm and talent they have. This actress's portrayal
  16. Lunagrant: seemed like every line was about to be the big one, but ultimately it's just someone screaming into a void
  17. Liam: i feel so seen by the part where she's crying about her student's dance recital, but it's not even that bad, really
  18. Milanalixo: it's like she's spilling all her private files onto the stage at once
  19. Fathom Warden: i've seen more desperation on my ex's facebook but she's still doing okay so yeah, good luck with the big break or whatever
  20. Halcyon Lynx: what happens when the show goes from fringe to mainstream?
  21. Lunasharma: I keep going back to that one moment where she's arguing with her cat, it felt so utterly specific and honest
  22. Velvet Drift: honestly Julia Grogan is crushing it with every single show, always leaves me wondering what goes on behind the scenes of these tiny stages
  23. Echo Raven: still no reason why she has to take herself so seriously, though, right?
  24. Mendezdiego: love how raw and honest it is but still wondering, what's the biggest risk she takes on stage?
  25. Sana: You think she's more desperate than funny, don't you?
  26. Cipher Wolf: actually sounds like a pretty raw and honest portrayal of an insecure performer
