Falsettos

See it if you like sung-through musicals, songs that deeply probe characters' emotional states, clever lyrics, stories about nontraditional families.

Don't see it if you don't like contemporary-sounding musicals, gay themes, AIDS-related plot elements, sung-through musicals, a mix of funny and sad.

See it if you want to see a strong cast turn in charming performances in a show that has just as many glorious moments as it does forgettable ones.

Don't see it if you dislike crying in public, you dislike shows that are sung all the way through, or you're bothered by too many unmemorable songs.

Also Stephanie J. Block has a song in the first act that's worth the price of admission on its own.... Read more Read less

See it if you like Sondheim-esque musicals with dense and clever, but sometimes convenient and forced lyrics. Acting/singing was great! But too long!

Don't see it if You like musicals that stay on point. Many songs felt like filler or were more of a showcase for talent than advancing the plot.

See it if you want to see an amazing production of a musical treasure by the genius, Bill Finn. The cast is also excellent

Don't see it if you don't like revivals or disliked the original production

See it if you want to see a great story about relationships and love. You want to see phenomenal acting. Rannels and Borle have undeniable chemistry

Don't see it if you don't like to sob uncontrollably in public. This show will not tug on your heartstrings, it will rip them apart

See it if You want to see a standard from early in the AIDS era. In its time, this show was groundbreaking. The revivals are museum pieces.

Don't see it if You don't need to see another show about gay men and AIDS. The value of this show is largely historical.

See it if You want to see a musical about interesting family dynamics at the start of the AIDS epidemic. Funny, poignant, beautiful, and moving.

Don't see it if Jewish themes, LGBT/AIDS themes, shows that may make you cry are not your thing. Avoid if looking for a light comedy or epic/big spectacle.

See it if You enjoy seeing musicals that stand the test of time, can move you and make you laugh.

Don't see it if You are not interested in alternative families and want only to be entertained in your comfort zone.

See it if I liked the clever, but minimalist set and background.

Don't see it if Be prepared for a sing-through show.

See it if You want a musical with lovely singing, minimal staging. Somewhat dated but a reminder of what was thirty years ago.

Don't see it if You don't need a gentle reminder of how much things have changed

See it if You're willing to feel emotionally raw from deeply affecting story & song. Cast is superb. It will take me a while to get over this one.

Don't see it if You have a heart of stone.

See it if What seemed so shocking thirty years ago is now matter of fact and relevant. Fine acting, second act a bit too long but worth seeing.

Don't see it if If untraditional family life makes you uncomfortable

See it if you like intelligent theater, performed by top professionals. This production is the perfect production of this classic, important musical.

Don't see it if you want a mindless night at the theater. You'll laugh, but you'll also have to think about some complicated issues. You won't forget it.

See it if Want to see a wonderfully poignant story set to music with wonderful Actors and Staging!

Don't see it if The subject of Aids is a grim reminder of days past!

See it if never seen before. Act 1 holds up well, although too long. Witty lyrics; nice insights. Act 2 is dated and manipulative; less inventive.

Don't see it if expect great performances. Borle is miscast as a Jewish neurotic and Block lacks the edge needed. Act 2 is repetitive until it gets seriuos

Also Act 1 is as funny as ever and Finn's wonderful lyrics still entertain while providing rvelevant insight into relationships. Since Act 1 & 2 were originally separate shows, the comibnation into a single performance is long and repetitive. Act 2 needs to be seen as a period piece and lacks the reflection that a serious rewrite might have provided. The sets are ingenious and very impressive. Aside from Borle and Block, the cast is quite good, especially Anthony Rosenthal as the young Jason and Brandon Uranowitz as Mendel, the psychiatrist. Rannells fulfills the "pretty boy" role more than adequately.... Read more Read less

Don't see it if Don't enjoy plays that may move.you to tears while also making you clap with joy.

See it if you want to see the great cast, and catch this revival before it closes

Don't see it if you know nothing about the show, I didn't and I was very disappointed by this very dated show, coming away asking, why?

See it if You enjoy the stunning score & want to see a 1st rate cast of knockout actors. It's an iconic piece lovingly revived. Will be a Tony fave.

Don't see it if The second act is HEAVY. Dark but essential. Abrupt tonal shift between the two acts is definitely not for everyone.

See it if Phenomenal cast, in particular SJ Block. Poignant performances. Clever staging. Admirable coverage of socially relevant issues.

Don't see it if Upbeat numbers were sharp, funny/sad and energetic, whereas slow numbers were a tad too sentimental or on the nose.

See it if you want to see a revival of a show better than the original. Are delighted by clever musical numbers. too bad they couldn't cut a half hour

Don't see it if you like your musicals uplifting. This ones unfortunately is depressingly real. Very Well done though.

Also This revival is better than the original in its choreography, staging and clever set. The entire casts rocks but the show is one half hour too long. This is about a good of Falesettos as you will get. Thrilling for what it is.... Read more Read less
