“This lady’s range knocked my socks off! I haven’t seen a one woman show like this since Whoopi Goldberg and Carrie Fisher. I can’t wait to see Nia again and again and again.”
- Quincy Jones
“Orms fully embodies these people… proves she has sharp skills as an actor and writer.”
- Backstage West
“…absurdly comical and heart wrenching… The entire audience makes its exit laughing.”

“If she were in a police line‐up with each character next to the others, you would never guess that they were all the same person… See Nia Orms now!”
