Delightful, Dizzying, Exquisite, Great staging, Refreshing

See it if You enjoy musicals that are fast and furious. This revival is loaded with talented live wires and breathtaking musical numbers.

Don't see it if You don't like musical theater. While this is a revival, this dizzying production feels very contemporary.

Cliched, Overrated, Disappointing, Dated

See it if you like circus type musicals. It's full of acrobatics and tricks.

Don't see it if you are expecting to see the Pippin of Ben Vereen days that was thought provoking and not going for just tricks and flashing lights.

Quirky, Raunchy, Clever, Absorbing, Resonant

See it if You're in for a relatively light-hearted, fun evening.

Don't see it if You're turned off by depictions of sexuality.

Quirky, Original, Ambitious, Confusing, Overrated

See it if Andrea Martin is in it. She was extraordinary!

Don't see it if you like your show's first and second acts to be of equal caliber. The second act is a pretty big letdown.

Thought-provoking, Quirky, Intense, Funny, Confusing

See it if You like the music (some of it is quite good) and you are into a very metaphorical approach to storytelling.

Don't see it if You are easily confused, or are looking for just a fun show. It's very dark and thought-provoking.
