Great cast, Hilarious, Insignificant, Lighthearted, Entertaining

See it if you're looking for a show where you can kick back & laugh & not have to think too hard. It's a good way to unwind in the theater after work.

Don't see it if you're looking for a more highbrow show with a message. This is basically mindless entertainment. (Not that there's anything wrong w/that!)
