Banal, Cliched

See it if you just want light entertainment.

Don't see it if you love the film. Very simple, cartoonish, one-dimensional characters. No depth. Perfunctory.

Disappointing, Fluffy, Slow, Quirky

See it if you enjoy mobster themes. The acting isn't too bad. A few funny moments, but rare through two hours. A Jersey Boys replacement.

Don't see it if you want good music, a plot that isn't cliched, and don't enjoy a mobster type story.

Disappointing, Fluffy, Relevant

See it if you like Doo-Wop music.

Don't see it if you're a DIE HARD fan of the movie like I am. All save the lead and his dad, Lorenzo...the rest was just eh. Sadly.

Disappointing, Great singing, Overrated, Dated, Insipid

See it if if you liked the movie ... if you like average run of the mill nothing special kind of musical -- there was good singing in it, though

Don't see it if you are not a fan of mob movies - you are looking for an out of ordinary show - you believe its comparison to jersey boys & west side stor

Insipid, Slow, Cliched

See it if You want something fresh. This is a new show, but it feels dated.

Don't see it if You want fully drawn characters. The characters here are all stereotypes, not real people.

Funny, Enjoyable, but lacks depth, Cliched, Banal, Disappointing

See it if you like Italian/American coming of age stories & a book/score that's passably entertaining but unremarkable by most accounts.

Don't see it if you want a story w/ more plot and character depth & emotion instead of a Jersey Boys/West Side Story hybrid that doesn't live up to either Read more
