Epic, Great staging, Great singing, Entertaining, Delightful

See it if you love huge shows (I've never seen so many set changes), with two fantastic leads, and wonderful music and dance.

Don't see it if you don't like plays that are not that faithful to the source material or time period. This is a stripped down version for sure.

Visually stunning, New take on familiar story, Great score

See it if you like a first act of impressive decadence and a second act in which it all unravels

Don't see it if you don’t like shows where characters share the spotlight and the “leads” do not carry the whole show on their backs
