Freestyle Love Supreme (Broadway)

See it if fun vibe; gets audience raucously involved; very clever ability to build on comedic references thru-out evening

Don't see it if fluff; rhyming & concepts rarely brilliant; has soft core of inoffensive sentimentality; would work better in more intimate setting

Also Props to Lin-Manuel Miranda & other producers of the show. We came to performance by winning the show's lottery. Rather than placing us in seats that couldn't be sold, we were seated in the best seats then available, close up in the center orchestra. Now that's the way to run a lottery!... Read more Read less

See it if Talented group of (sometimes celebrity) freestyle improvisational riffers rhyming verses with some authentic beats and sounds.

Don't see it if Too brief for Broadway.

Also For those who like this sort of thing, this is the sort of thing they like.... Read more Read less

See it if you want good entertainment and like rap and improv. Performers are very clever. A fun evening.

Don't see it if you prefer traditional theater. This is an improv show probably better suited to a music venue than Broadway.

See it if you want to see a musical improv show with the focus on rap and beatboxing. Wayne Brady was a guest that night. Great time! Great host!

Don't see it if you don't like rap, improv, or comedy. It is not a book musical. Also having to lock your phone and hold it in a special bag was annoying.

See it if Talented troupe ... improvisations are impressive.

Don't see it if Show deserves to be revisited multiple times, but not at these prices. Find a smaller space with unknowns with even greater talent.

See it if I’m going to make this short- NO ONE REASON NOT TO SEE! It’s so entertaining. I’ve only seen it once, but, it’s great 👍🏽 to know that each

Don't see it if Performance would be different. I didn’t get the “superstars”, but, it didn’t matter- the 5 + 2 musicians we had were EXCELLENT. Improv on

Also Broadway- who would’ve thunk it. Some light cussing and you’d have to like poetry, hip-hop, singing 🎤, or music 🎶, to enjoy 😉 it. It’s 90-minutes of fun and the cast is so gracious at the backstage door 🚪. Ok, they do lock 🔐 up your phones 📱, using a “YONDR” pouch 👝, but, it’s totally worth it... Loved that it was a 10pm show!... Read more Read less

See it if you are in any way interested in freestyle and are open to loose 90-minute theater experience.

Don't see it if you demand structure, hate to let go of your phone, or aren't open to new experiences.

See it if You like improv esp. Whose Line.

Don't see it if You don't like improv or like fast moving and political rap.

Also The night I went Wayne Brady was in the show. This had a little harder edge than Whose Line and was very fast paced. It amazed me how they could remember all the audience suggestions and have lyrics at the ready. They had two members of the audience with long stories and the troupe went through them with rap lyrics. Christoper Jackson was very good.... Read more Read less

See it if Improv hip hop. Every show created on the spot with audience participation. Some very clever rhymesters .

Don't see it if The quality of the show is dependent on the audience feed back suggestions and involvement and it can fall flat.

Also I was ready for some ground-breaking improv, this is Broadway improv after all, Nichols and May territory. It was more like a pretty good episode of "Whose Line is it Anyway". Amusing with an occasional flash of real brilliance; shout out to you "UTC the INC." But the audience picks which are the high point of the show were uninspired the night I went. That is the big caveat, "the night I went". I've heard other nights had great audience stories as well as guest performers. The night I went had a woman with too much to drink come up onstage with a boring tale that was hard to work with and no guest rappers. Oh well. I also think it would be best done in a smaller more intimate venue with lower expectation than a Broadway house and the lower priced tickets that go along with that.... Read more Read less

See it if you would enjoy hip hop musical improv with surprise guests, melting voice of Arthur The Geniuses and killer beatboxing.

Don't see it if you don't like hip hop, rap or improv.

See it if you want a fun night of hip hop improv with a raucous New York audience. Fast-paced and silly. Puts you in a good mood.

Don't see it if you don't like audience participation and can't be without your cell phone for the duration of the show. Not family friendly.

See it if you love being entertained. This is pure fun and delight. Talented performers share their spontaneous energy.

Don't see it if you do not like rap. Though the creativity and fun comes through!

See it if You like to see very talented artists work on the suggestions from the audience and create clever raps.

Don't see it if You don't like rap and you want to see a 'standard' show that is the same every night and you don't like anarchic structure.

Also This show is a delight and whatever your thoughts about rap, this is very clever and well put together and no show is the same so you will be surprised whenever you go.... Read more Read less

See it if you love improv and being part of the show.

Don't see it if you want a through-story line.

See it if you want to laugh out loud whilst being constantly amazed by some amazing talent on stage

Don't see it if you aren't at all interested in clever improv mixed with freestyle rap - but I would suggest giving it a go if you're on the fence

Also This was awesome - every performance will be different, and so it makes it hard to 'review' the show in a lot of ways.

The artists are incredible, so clever, witty and awesomely talented, even if freestyle rap/improv isn't your thing, you have to be impressed by their artistry.

I had no idea what I was going into, but I loved this amazing experience. Honestly, nothing like it on Broadway!... Read more Read less

See it if You like hip hop, improv, comedy, freestyle rhymes and want to have a fun night at the theatre. Great unique experience!!

Don't see it if You don't like hip hop or improv and want a traditional Broadway play or musical.

See it if you enjoy intelligent talented improvisations.

Don't see it if you are stodgy and prefer just to sit back in a seat and be entertained. Improv/rap needs audience energy!

See it if Lin Manuel can do no wrong, you will enjoy this. Like nothing you've ever seen, definitely a must-see.

Don't see it if you don't like freestyle, improv or want something traditional

See it if You are a fan of improvisational theater/hip hop. A laid back Bway show with audience participation discussing politics, sex, drugs, etc.

Don't see it if If you expect to see Lin Manuel-there are special guests each night but this varies. Costly for what it was-somewhat unmemorable.

See it if You like improv, hip-hip, or the lyrical stylings of Lin-Manuel Miranda

Don't see it if You prefer a show with a structured book, lyrics and score; or don’t enjoy shows the heavily rely on audience participation

See it if you are a fanatic fan of both Hip Hop/Rap music and improvisational theatre.

Don't see it if you, like me, dislike with a passion Hip Hop music and improvisational theatre

Also What was I thinking? 2 of my strongest pet peeves on one bill and I still bought a ticket. Well in part I thought that anything that Lin-Manuel Miranda was associated with can't be that bad. Well apparently I was wrong and it could be that bad, Mr. Miranda what were you thinking?
I am sorry but the day in the life of some exhibitionist woman in the audience, the highlight of which was getting a bikini wax, was vaguely entertaining in her words but a rap version retelling was anything but. If we were in some small off off off Broadway comedy club this might have been acceptable but in a prime Broadway theatre, at prime Broadway prices, it is a waste of the valuable space that could be hosting an actual piece of theatre. I should have joined the intelligent folk that got up and left early in the evening, but I kept hoping it might get better, but it never did. OK, I have finished venting now.... Read more Read less

See it if Warm-hearted improv music-comedy. Hard not to laugh the whole night.

Don't see it if Depends on the energy your night. Most everything hit right the evening I watched, tho some night's maybe the scenarios might not work!

Also The show's a bit raunchier than Who's Line Is it Anyway -- so you gotta be fine with that if you're bringing children, etc. There was an extended skit about a blowjob on a plane when I watched -- and the family near me with their kids thought it was hilarious.... Read more Read less

See it if You enjoy the hip hop riffs that are the foundation of Hamilton.

Don't see it if You would not enjoy a bunch of young people showing off improv hip hop skills.

Also The show was totally improvisation which I did not know when I purchased tickets. The cast was incredibly enthusiastic and talented. Was fun in unexpected ways. Plus Lin Manuel Miranda was the guest performer for the evening. It was interesting to see that he is essentially a superstar for a large group of young people.... Read more Read less

See it if You enjoy impromptu theater. It is funny and cleverly done. Helen Mirren and Ian McKellen were brought onstage from the audience. A blast!

Don't see it if You detest rap. If you only like a scripted show, this is not for you.

See it if you love FLS from past shows or TV, like rap and story telling

Don't see it if you want a plot in a show. There is structure to it, but the show is different every time
