Great staging, Dated, Weird

See it if uh well it's too late to see it but the staging was really wonderful and the actors did well with this very strange and weirdly paced show

Don't see it if you are looking for something a little less strange but also you kinda have no choice anyway because you can't see it because it's closed

Dated, Cliched, Great staging

See it if You want to see a great cast, but not used to their full potential. Block is fabulous. Staging is innovative. 2nd act is more substantial

Don't see it if You want fresh material. The opener and march of the falsettos are both head scratchers--as in, "why???"

Cliched, Disappointing, Dated

See it if you are nostalgic for a show that mattered when it first appeared but has not aged well.

Don't see it if You have expectations to love this as much as the hype promises you will. Read more

Disappointing, Excruciating, Indulgent, Insipid, Quirky

See it if you're looking for an "edgy" or "different" musical that's "intelligent".

Don't see it if the thought of a "non-traditional" musical terrifies you. Or if analyzing quirky musical sequences for a deeper meaning is not your thing. Read more

Dated, Disappointing, Overrated, Slow, Derivative

See it if The show is disappointing. It is static, with no forward movement. It feels very dated. I did not care about the characters. Self indulgent.

Don't see it if You like a musical with an engaging plot, characters, or songs.

Indulgent, Disappointing, Overrated

See it if You won't enter the theater until the second act. The first act is self indulgent and excruciatingly long.

Don't see it if You want a traditional musical and not one endless recitative.
