See it if you want to experience a heart-lifting, life-affirming show that will leave you in tears while you rock to the beat.

Don't see it if nope, there isn't anyone that shouldn't see this phenomenon.

See it if See a well-crafted, thought proving, well performed musical.

Don't see it if The topic is too hard to take for some still.

See it if 9/11 is part of your history, you were touched no matter how distantly, you are not aware of how other countries shared our story and help

Don't see it if You are still too traumatized by 9/11, you do not like musicals you feel a real Bway musical must have whistles like a state fair

See it if A heartwarming story about how 9/11/2001 impacted a small community in Canada. Everyone has a 9/11 story, and this is a reflection of that.

Don't see it if Well, as a friend put it, the show is about how a bunch of people were inconvenienced during a tragedy.

See it if you love a GREAT story!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't see it if you don't have a heart or a love of humanity.

See it if EVERYONE should see this show. I could not stop smiling after seeing this production. There is something in it for everyone.

Don't see it if I have heard as an argument for not seeing it that it makes light of 9/11, but it doesn't. It celebrates the humanity that resulted from it.

Also Quite simply, one of the best musicals I have ever seen. Simple in its staging, and even though the 12 actors play multiple characters, you never get lost in where you are. This show is in a word BRILLIANT!... Read more Read less

See it if You can. Believe the hype, this show is as profoundly beautiful as everyone says. Especially in times like these, it's cathartic to watch.

Don't see it if You get triggered by 9/11. Otherwise, go see it.

See it if you enjoy powerful, intensely emotional, energetic musicals re lrecent events and experiences, and Irish/Cornish music. Bring box of tissues

Don't see it if you cannot tolerant vivid reminder of 9/11, stories of mingling of diverse peoples or Irish/Cornish music or loud musicals, strong language.

See it if enjoy original musicals or stories based on a true, historical event.

Don't see it if I think everyone should see it, even those who were affected closely by that horrific day (9/11/2001)

See it if Anyone who needs healing, or at least a triptych to another place.

Don't see it if Lacking a heart

See it if up for an epic story about thousands of souls, distilled very effectively; you need evidence that humanity prevails & is worth striving for

Don't see it if you'd struggle tracking multiple characters inhabited by only 12 actors; looking for a straight musical—music feels incidental, story is key

See it if You enjoy podcasts such as This American Life, Radiolab, et al. Enjoy folk music. Want to see a show that is contemplative.

Don't see it if Only enjoy more legit theatre score. Want to see something with choreography. You just want something "light." If 911 is a trigger.

Also I very much enjoyed the show, though my (rush) seats were very obstructed. (Why do these theaters keep making sets that obstruct the outside seats? It doesn't have to be designed that way!)

The music, while not particularly memorable, sets the right atmosphere. I see it more as a sort of play with music than a traditional musical.

It is a really touching look at how humans can reach out to one another in dark times. While the writing is sometimes. little on the nose, it's really quite moving and accomplishes what it sets out to do.

If you are a musician, this show is a joy to watch. The musicians are very visible and they are fantastic. I will certainly go and see it again, as there were sometimes I just wanted to watch the band may have missed some things on stage.

That's not to say the band is distracting, I'm just a huge pit orchestra nerd.

This show is perhaps the most relevant piece on Broadway currently running. Feels like an off-broadway show in the best way possible.... Read more Read less

See it if you can see this play as a beam of hope for humanity, and as entertainment and separate it from the broader scope of 9/11 & its sequelae

Don't see it if you were, and continue to be uneasily cognizant of the events of 9/11; have PTSD triggered by personal connection to that day.

Also I am grateful to the people on whom this show was based, but as a native New Yorker with a personal connection to the events portrayed, I had a really hard time watching this show. I tried to separate the play as a show from my own feelings with only limited success. It was difficult sitting in an audience, the majority apparently were tourists, many high school groups with kids not even born on that day. Bravo to the beautiful people of Canada for their humanity, but there is so much more to be said.... Read more Read less

See it if you want to be totally enchanted and very much moved

Don't see it if you have a heart of stone

See it if Small town folks take in stranded passengers with open arms and open hearts rather than cower to fear and hate.

Don't see it if 9/11 is triggering. Don't like folksy Canadians.

Also Ticket from in-person rush for $38.

See it if you are interested in a new work that explores an under-told story of 9/11. It could have been cliche, but they managed to pull it off.

Don't see it if You dont like actors playing multiple roles. Or if you do not want to see a 9/11 story.

See it if Went to the autism-friendly performance. Surprisingly good. Great music. Great story. Moving. Quick 1hr, 40-min. Bar-like, folksy, Music.

Don't see it if No reason not to see. Loosely based on 9/11. Some cussing. No intermission

See it if you like jubilant, original musicals with stellar ensembles that both satisfy the traditional musical itch and play with the form a bit.

Don't see it if you're going to have a problem with the treatment of the subject matter (It's about resilience in the face of tragedy, not tragedy itself)

See it if like repetitive, trite, hackneyed storytelling with 3 good songs and alot of filler. Sure, it's a nice story, but I found it agonizing

Don't see it if Have a choice. This was just not for me.

See it if You enjoy People-magazine type "heartwarmers" about communities welcoming outsiders. Nothing gets below the surface but it's enjoyable

Don't see it if You're looking for a tonally-varied look at 9/11 impacts, diversity messages, emotionally-complex events. Light-hearted and heavy-handed.

See it if You enjoy marvelous music with wonderful stories. You want to see something uplifting.

Don't see it if You just don't like musicals no matter what. You find reminders of 9/11 too painful. You are confused by actors playing multiple roles.
