See it if You want a fluffy show that, while it is cliche, somewhat effectively uses its fluff, unlike waitress.

Romantic, Quirky, Great singing, Enchanting, Delightful

See it if you prefer highly imaginative staging opposed to ornate sets. Or if you love Phillipa Soo - she's a treasure. Great singing all around.

Don't see it if you LOVED the movie. The first act adheres to the film in ways that miss the mark, but the show comes into its own in the second act.

Delightful, Enchanting, Entertaining, Fluffy, Insipid

See it if You want to hear Soo's angelic voice and are in the mood for a light show with a plot so thin you can see through it!

Don't see it if You're expecting a top notch musical where every song has a specific purpose. The young Amelie has a disturbingly bad voice. Read more
