An important show from such an important artist. Everyone should see How to Fail as a Popstar! -Bif Naked, recording artist

It’s a moving tale that any person who’s struggled to achieve their dreams can easily relate to, and Shraya has a certain magnetism to her performance that keeps the one-woman show moving fluidly. –Broadway World

A funny, warm and honest show by a rare, 360-degree talent. -Denise Balkissoon, executive editor of Chatelaine Magazine

The work of radical self-acceptance is so challenging I never want to do it. In this piece of art, Vivek’s fearless vulnerability, steady gaze and sure hand creates another way in, an opening, and all I have to do is show up. Now it’s your turn. Lucky you. -Elvira Kurt, teacup butch, comedy legend and writer for Canada’s Drag Race

Shraya may not have reached the top echelon of pop stardom, but sharing her persistence and self-discovery just might be a bigger gift. After all, these are the stories we rarely hear told. –NOW Magazine

Vivek Shraya’s How to Fail as a Popstar is a maguffin – a demonstration of Shraya’s virtuosity as a performer, a songwriter, and writer, and is anything but a failure. It is a cutting and hilarious look at the spark and afterglow of any musician entering the industry – the adolescence, adulthood, and moribundity of this creative life-within-a-life. She claims to not “have the range,” but Popstar demonstrates the opposite – a multi-disciplinary artist at the height of her powers. -Owen Pallett, violinist and composer
