Great singing, Great acting, Entertaining, Clever

See it if Absolutely phenomenal singing (the song "Wait for me" was soooo beautiful). Andre de Shields & Reeve Carney are superstars!

Great singing, Great writing, Intelligent, Must see, Enchanting

See it if I've always loved the story of Eurydice and Orpheus. This musical is a lovely interpretation, with the addition of Hades and Persephone.

Don't see it if The performance of Orpheus is very one note, it's disappointing he didn't show much growth.
