Disappointing

See it if you like Phillippa Soo or the children's story

Don't see it if expecting a good musical. Story seems bland and boring

Cliched, Disappointing, Banal

See it if if you want to see a mediocre musical with material and characters that don't make sense. Get a cheap ticket

Don't see it if you have no patience for mediocrity.

Fluffy, Indulgent, Romantic, Quirky

See it if you can't get tickets to anything else?

Don't see it if you love the movie and want to see if the musical will live up to the whimsical magic of the film. Spoiler: it doesn't.

Quirky, Cute, Disappointing, Great singing

See it if you enjoy quirky musicals. You are a fan of Phillipa Soo and want to see her in everything she does.

Don't see it if you are looking for a musical that is more than a cute diversion.

Fluffy, Quirky, Kiddie, Cliched, Disappointing

See it if like me, you're a big Phillipa Soo fan. Otherwise, NO. It's SO "kiddie". Amelie (character) seems like she's in another show altogether.

Don't see it if like me, you don't like grammar school spring showcases. Was SO looking forward to seeing Amelie. Except for diverse cast, SO disappointed.

Fluffy, Slow, Disappointing

See it if You have a tweenage child to take. Mine loved it. It is fresh and sweet and has a happy ending!

Don't see it if You are choosing to see a musical with a good score and choreography. If you loved the movie, this is very disappointing.
