Great acting, Resonant, Intense, Great singing, Absorbing

See it if You want to see Broadway masters at their craft. Brian d'Arcy James and Kelli O'Hara give some of the most affecting performances I've seen.

Don't see it if It's a sad show, and I wouldn't recommend if stories about alcoholism are too triggering. If you want escapism, this isn't the show for you.
