Cliched, Great singing, Overrated

See it if you want a good cast with a not pulled together story.

Don't see it if you want something fresh and a show that's fully pulled together. This felt like it was a preview (not cast, material).

Cliched, Banal, Disappointing

See it if You liked the movie or play. I wasn't familiar with either, but many in the audience were.

Don't see it if You want memorable songs, a unique plot, or characters with depth. I was disappointed overall, despite the great actors involved. Read more

Cliched, Superficial, Hollow, Lackluster, Uninvolving

See it if you want to see a great performance by Nick Cordero in a show with a pretty terrible book and some rather mediocre songs.

Don't see it if you like shows that tell their stories with at least an ounce of honesty. Every emotional plot point feels either unearned or rushed.

Overrated, Clever, Entertaining

See it if You loved the movie beyond measure. I liked it but the main actor was over the top with his voice so took away from the experience.

Don't see it if You are annoyed by overacting

Dated, Disappointing, Slow

See it if you've never seen a show before, and you love the movie. A version of this storyline has been seen over & over again. It's not bad, just old

Don't see it if You want to indulge yourself in the new theatre that NY has to offer. While this may be a new musical, it comes to Bway about a decade late
