Thought-provoking, Relevant, Great acting, Enchanting

See it if To see powerhouse actors give such rich performances, a riveting play that still stands the rest of time, beautiful love story

Don't see it if Looking for something over the top, this play is quiet but beautiful, don’t go if you are looking for glam, this play is subtle

Thought-provoking, Relevant, Intelligent, Entertaining, Absorbing

See it if Play still "connects" and is timeless in looking at two people trying to find their way. Worth seeing and hearing.

Don't see it if No desire to see an older or two- character play no matter how well done.

Clever, Raunchy, Great acting, Entertaining

See it if If you liked the movie and sensational acting. Shannon is a bit creepy in his role but good staging, and direction here. Very good.

Don't see it if If nudity bothers you and intense scenes about two wounded people. If you want a lighter play. If you want a more fun play to watch.

Raunchy, Dated, Great acting

See it if you want to see two actors give amazing performances. Audra alone is worth seeing. She delivers a very nuanced performance.

Don't see it if you do not like nudity or a graphic sex scene. There is lots of language inappropriate for youth. This is NOT a family show.

Great staging, Great acting, Entertaining

See it if You want to see 2 great actors breaking down walls and reservations to connect.

Don't see it if You are bothered by (tasteful) full nudity. The number of times she asks him to leave and he doesn't isn't great in today's times.

Overrated, Disappointing, Dated, Great acting, Romantic

See it if for 2 great actors offering different perspective on original stage performance & movie.Presents plot twists but slow & dragged out..

Don't see it if For chemistry between the 2.actors you might otherwise like.Expect more from current play based on past renditions.Dislike sexual scenes.

Entertaining, Slow, Raunchy, Dated, Great acting

See it if you want to see Audra and Michael Shannon's surprising chemistry skate over some hilarious, if dated, material.

Don't see it if you'll be put off by nudity or sex (like the woman next to me), or are looking for much more than a very charming odd couple rom-com.

Slow, Thought-provoking, Great acting

See it if you enjoy psychological reflections about modern day sex, connecting and dating

Don't see it if you want something beyond a rather superficial concept of intimacy and fear thereof. You enjoy a more romantic or mature take on dating
