Every Tuesday and Friday, we're turning the spotlight on some of our
favorite member reviews. Here are our picks for the week for our most loved and hated shows: "Paramour," "Simon Says," and "Himself and Nora!"
Taste is a subjective thing, and nothing exemplifies that more than the shows we're featuring today. All of these shows tend to inspire passionate responses in both directions. So here they are, this week's best raves and slams for our most loved and hated shows!
See it if You'd be interested in a conventional musical about an unconventional writer, without compelling lead performances (better secondary cast)
Don't see it if You want authentic accents or memorable songs. Also, if raunchy jokes bother you.
See it if you enjoy a beautifully performed show with a compelling historical and literary narrative, you appreciate fabulous singing
Don't see it if musicals about real life historical events bore you, you prefer edgier material and you have no appreciation for Irish culture
See it if You want clichés rolled into a spectacle with a few decent Cirque pieces interspersed. The singers are good but have nothing to work with.
Don't see it if You didn't win TodayTix lottery; you haven't seen everything else already; you care at all about lyrics or originality in the songs.
See it if You love a spectacular Cirque du Soleil show with amazing acrobatic feats that had the audience enthralled, plus a Broadway storyline
Don't see it if You want a playbill, as a 2-sided card is the only "playbill" you'll receive (no bio for any of the actors, etc).
See it if you are so invested in the idea of the paranormal that you can do without credible dialogue and consistent characters.
Don't see it if you are looking for something to engage your mind.
See it if If you are interested in shows that are open to new thoughts and paranormal possibilities.
Don't see it if If you have no interest in the subject. If you like lineal plots that follow a traditional subject matter.
