Cute, Funny, Fluffy, Entertaining

See it if you're looking for a cute family friendly show. Based on young-adult novel, but writing skews much younger than that.

Don't see it if you're looking for a Broadway calibre production or must-see theatrical experience. It is cute and fun for what it is, but nothing standout.

Cheesy staging, Positive message, Too long, Quirky

See it if if you're​ in the YA demographic or accompany someone who is. Occasionally amusing. Tries hard to please with limited success, if an adult.

Don't see it if expecting a lavish, creative production. Read more

Disappointing, Creative, Fun, Entertaining, Clever

See it if You like the Percy Jackson books, or Greek Mythology, and want to have a fun time with a show that is creative with its simple props/sets.

Don't see it if You want a highly polished production with elaborate staging, a serious story, or don't like silly humor.

Cheapest broadway production ever seen, Hardworking cast, Forgettable music, Piercing sound, Predictable plot

See it if The most impressive visual effect is the flying toilet paper (as ocean water); Kid-fan of Percy book series may enjoy, but do bring earplug

Don't see it if Ensemble of 6, most actors are playing so many roles which look ridiculous (Percy’s mom=a classmate=the underworld elevator girl); Read more

Bare bones, one great song, Quirky

See it if You loved the books and aren't expecting much in the way of set design, costumes or props. "My Grand Plan" is a great song!

Don't see it if You want to feel the spectacle of a big, Broadway show.
