Must see, Intelligent, Great acting, Great staging, Great singing

See it if you enjoy a unique and different musical with Greek mythology as it's basis. Completely worthy of all the hype it has received.

Don't see it if you dislike "sung through" musicals (all lyrics, no dialogue) presented in a non-typical style. Kinda sad, Don't go if you want upbeat. Read more

Intense, Great staging, Great singing, Exquisite, Absorbing

See it if Epic story told with great love and care; superb casting top to bottom; multiple instances of tears of joy and sorrow for audience

Don't see it if Basis of story is a self-spoiler - singer-songwriter style may not be to everyone's liking

Resonant, Masterful, Great writing, Enchanting, Ambitious

See it if you want haunting, riveting songs and engrossing staging. This is a memorable, immersive experience, and will stick with you afterward.

Don't see it if you don’t like remixes of Greek mythology, if you find the refrain of “build the wall” triggering, or if you want a happily ever after.
