The King and I (Broadway)

See it if you like your musicals traditional (including being un-PC) & conventional. And if you want to hear Kelli O'Hara sing (beautifully, natch).

Don't see it if you want something more than fancy costumes and a sweeping, overly sentimental score. (Opinion disclaimer: I just don't like this musical.)

See it if you don't want to miss the amazing performances of Ruthie Ann Miles and Ashley Park.

Don't see it if you have a contemporary sensibility.

See it if You're satisfied with just a bit of spectacle and some really good singing. Very little humor. Not much dancing. Crap story.

Don't see it if You expect a Broadway musical to be uplifting or at least highly entertaining. First act was long and pretty dull. Second act a bit better.

See it if a well-mounted and visually stunning production with a strong central performance by Kelli O'Hara.

Don't see it if you want a more contemporary musical. This is a classic musical that has some strong moments but also drags in other parts.

See it if you hate original, fresh ideas.

Don't see it if all of the horrible racial stuff in here bothers you.

See it if you like Kelli OHara and don't mind if the rest of the show lacks energy.

Don't see it if You find it hard to get into a sexist fantasy where one of the major plot lines involves sex trafficking. Hasnt aged well.

See it if Don't mind not understanding a word the king says.Want to see an overated Bartlett Sher revival.. the man who murdered Fiddler on the Roof

Don't see it if You want your heart to be crushed.

See it if You enjoy the theater classics. This production was well staged but the show itself slow moving and dated.

Don't see it if You prefer fully developed plots.

See it if you like classic musicals that are dainty, gorgeous, and vapid. This is about as well executed as that type of show can be.

Don't see it if you want to see something gripping, political, timely, or visceral.

See it if you love the show and want to see a large and ambitious production of it.

Don't see it if you expect to be actively engaged by the production, it is more like viewing a piece of history.

See it if you like traditional muscials and love costumes! Also if you like seeing kids in theater. Super cute.

Don't see it if considering the climate of our country now, I found it misogynistic and offensive. It was hard to watch the king be king and be OK w/it.

See it if You like musical, whether good or bad

Don't see it if You expect it to be as good as the original. Nowhere close to Yul Brynner.

See it if you are in love with the music and song of Rogers and Hammerstein.

Don't see it if you want to see a musical revival that is half as good as the revival of South Pacific in the same theater a few seasons back.

See it if you're a lover of the classics, and would enjoy a near by-the-book adaptation that includes stunning costumes and larger-than-life staging.

Don't see it if you're expecting a lively, yet faithful, production. The pacing was slow, and the performance from Ms. O'Hara was good, but not Tony-worthy.

See it if You like the original shows or any of the actors in it.

Don't see it if You want something new exciting or edgy

Don't see it if You want to be entertained.

See it if you have never seen the show before. If you have, you will be disappointed. This is just a cut above a third rate touring company.

Don't see it if you saw it in any of its previous productions. The only thing good about this one are the sets.

See it if You have a family

Don't see it if You do not have children
