See it if You want to see a really great performance by Adam Driver. And a nice set.

Don't see it if You have anything else to do. Or if you have to pay for tickets. I'm not usually this flip about shows, but this one is missable.

Also File this one under "shows that didn't need to be revived". It might have been better if Keri Russell was a better stage actress, but she's not, and there's not really any chemistry between she and Driver.

Uranowitz is reliable as always, although I'm not sure the role is worthy of a Tony nomination. This is also a miss for Furr, who I've seen and liked in many other shows.

It was also a rare miss for director Mayer who has made magic out of some shows that really had no reason to work.

This could have been so much more interesting if either Pale or Anna had been a person of color.... Read more Read less

See it if You are a fan of the actors.

Don't see it if You want a balanced thoughtful play. Furr and Uranowitz are excellent. Driver is over the top and makes it difficult for Russell to keep up

Don't see it if you don't enjoy stories about complicated relationships or if you don't like character driven plays. Russell's portrayal was disappointing.

See it if You like the actors and director. Driver and Uranowitz especially were fun to watch. You like small cast plays that don’t hold back.

Don't see it if You don’t handle the excess of the 80s well, or are too conservative. It was a tiny bit intense even for me, but I appreciated Wilson’s take

Don't see it if uneven & muddled plays aren't your thing, the main characters are definitely complex but the rest are pure stereotypical cliches, not a must

Don't see it if you don't like dramedies nearly 3 hours long, tire of Driver's over-the-top shenanigans, consider '80s plays dated, dislike romcom cliches.

Don't see it if If you do not like long drawn out dramas that you really have to follow along with.

Also A Tour de Force performance by Adam Driver in this interesting production of Burn/ This. Mr. Driver absolutely kills it in this play, on the other side I felt Kerri Russel's (while phenomenal in mostly everything she does) performance was very awkward. She didn't seem invested in the play and her pronunciation of the dialogue made it difficult to invest in her performance. This show was very intriguing to me, while not the best play I have ever seen it was enjoyable and really made you think about why two people come together in the first place. Sometimes is just fate that brings people together.... Read more Read less

See it if Adam Driver and Brandon Uranowitz are giving a master class in acting. The show is surprisingly funny, as well as smokey.

Don't see it if You don't like talky dramas. Or if you need to feel sympathetic to the characters. They're all kind of awful in one way or another.

See it if You are an Adam Driver fan. He’s big, handsome and chews the scenery at every turn. The play itself is also quite good.

Don't see it if Period pieces about self-absorbed NYers annoy you.

Also Brandon Uranowicz and Keri Russell are delightful. Unfortunately I sometimes felt they were in a different play than Driver.... Read more Read less

See it if You already like the play - it’s a well done version of it. Brandon Uranowitz especially shines. Some great lighting design too.

Don't see it if It’s just not a play I like, I just never saw the point. Confused why Adam Driver does the ENTIRE thing facing upstage though.

See it if you need to see it because you see everything like I do... but be advised, it disappointed. Yes, Matt Driver is a force, but not enough.

Don't see it if you are looking to be blown away by engaging theater

See it if Big Hollywood stars try to act out this Lanford Wilson emotional play. Driver overacts and Russell is interchangeble with any thin actress

Don't see it if if you are tired of emotionally charged storied about grief and the response to death of friends or family. Tourist audience can be rude

See it if Adam is beyond wonderful. Masterful performance. He is a powerful force of energy and this is a study in acting technique. He's why you go..

Don't see it if Show is uneven when he is not on the stage. Keri is fine, supporting actors very good. Interesting show worth seeing if you like intensity

See it if you want to see some really great actors trying to make the best of their roles. Love the Hudson Theater

Don't see it if you want multi-dimensional characters with depth. Each character was a cliched stereotype. I felt like I learned nothing about them.

Also I did not see the original Broadway production of Burn This, but I don't understand why this play was revived.... Read more Read less
