Though the show is extremely funny and often over the top, there is still heart. The performer mainly responsible for this heart is Ashley Alexandra, who plays Julie Nichols. While other performers become caricatures at times, Alexandra stays honest and open throughout. As the character of Michael Dorsey complains, there needs to be truth and Alexandra tells it. In addition to gracefully carrying most of the show’s emotional weight, Alexandra has a phenomenal voice. The song “Gone, Gone, Gone” is a new favorite and she rocked it.
