Mixtape Confessions: The Diary of a Teenage Optimist
When Nicole rediscovered her audiotape diary from the late 1980's, she knew her teenage entries were too good to keep to herself. Inspired by 13-year old Nicole's candid point of view, and by the music she might have been listening to in her room at the time, Mixtape Confessions will make you relive all of your embarrassing moments from junior high, set to the best pop hits from those awkward school dances.
WHAT CRITICS ARE SAYING:
"A delightful ride of a show... Nicole lit up the stage! This hip, multi-media show featured actual audiotaped diary entries that Nicole had made during her adolescence that were a scream but also sweet... She and this show and the singing and the concept... all a DE-LIGHT!
The fact that Nicole would share her geek-years (and pictures!) speaks volumes to the kind of open and fun gal that she is...
It was gracefully staged and moved like clockwork...
You have to see this..."
Sue Matsuki, Cabaret Hotline Online
