Absorbing, Great acting, Must see, Intense, Resonant

See it if you want to see an absolutely fantastic production (in every sense of the term).

Don't see it if you dislike modern musicals. The score is often times a little too pop-rock for traditional theatre-goers.

Ambitious, Great acting, Great writing, Profound, Must see

See it if you want to see an outstanding musical. It's dark, sad, funny, heartbreaking, and beautiful. Unbelievable. Accurate depiction of bipolar.

Don't see it if onstage depictions of serious mental illnesses bother you. you want a story with an unambiguous happy ending.
