Disappointing, Intelligent, Relevant, Thought-provoking

See it if You want to see a realistic play about real people in a real situation.

Don't see it if You don't have hearing that's super sharp. Not all, but some of the actors can hardly be heard.

Cliched, Intelligent, Intense

See it if you like emotional, thought provoking shows. It definitely makes you reflect on your own life and circumstances, and ask yourself "what if"

Don't see it if you don't like a little soul searching; or a lesson in life choices and/or sacrifice.

Great acting, Slow, Natural, Mild

See it if you are in the mood for easy-going theater. this isn't a high-stakes play with too much drama. the actors are great though

Don't see it if you want to go on a rollercoaster of emotions. you want something light-hearted or highly dramatic. this play is more middle of the road

Dated, Funny, Entertaining

See it if You enjoy the stars involved. Overall, it's an ok production, nothing great, but nothing bad either. It's a little dated.

Don't see it if You don't want sappy melodrama.
