Don't see it if You don't want to see full nudity, laugh at jokes that don't match the rythm of the play and don't mind the 4th wall broken.

See it if you want to see an incredible performances from the lead actors.

Don't see it if you want an easy-to-follow plot. The deception involved in the show can be confusing for viewers. The staging is clunky.

Don't see it if You want drama. You want to know anything about the story. Read more

See it if you want to see Taymor restrain herself, nuanced meditation on geopolitics by way of gender/racial politics

Don't see it if offended by nudity. bored of hollywood types breezing into Broadway.

See it if You want an interesting take on a real story and enjoy the presence of a good strong lead actor.

Don't see it if You are homophobic or expect a big production of sorts. Although the scenery is made by the guy of lion king it isn't great.
