Great acting, Great staging, Riveting, Romantic, Clever

See it if you love abstract, intimate staging that is open to interpretation, you enjoy watching instrumentalists on stage, you liked the film.

Don't see it if you want spectacle, crave lots of upbeat tunes, don't like Irish music, aren't into romantic stories, or struggle with accents.

Ambitious, Exquisite, Funny, Must see, Original

See it if You love Irish music, talented actors playing their own music, quirky humor, thoughtful love stories.

Don't see it if you are offended by curse words, there is harsh language throughout this.

Thought-provoking, Romantic, Profound, Original, Delightful

See it if you enjoy indie/folk music and love stories. Beautiful music and story. Very unique when compared to other shows.

Don't see it if you enjoy big productions with a lot of set changes and costumes, or if you don't enjoy indie/folk music.

Intimate, Heartbreaking, Refreshing, Delightful, Must see

See it if You can appreciate a quiet, emotional musical about 2 people relating to one another, with some incredible songs.

Don't see it if You need your shows to be big, loud, and showy. My only complaint is that the choreography is unnecessary and detracts from the storytelling

Resonant, Original, Masterful, Great staging, Absorbing

See it if You want to hear incredible music performed by a crazy talented cast. The story is inspiring and hits close to those who have had brief love

Don't see it if You don't like musicals that are a little slow.
