The Nap (Broadway)

See it if You love the zany quirky Brits. The writing is so clever. It's off the beaten track and quite unusual. I laughed often. Great sets + acting

Don't see it if You have a hard time with accents and quick dialogue. If Violence bothers you... If you are expecting something deep and profound.

Also I didn't know what to expect. I went cold. Thoroughly enjoyed myself. I have seen John Ellison Conlee in three plays. He is always good. This was so different. I loved all the actors. The ending was a bit corny for me bit other than that I was completely engaged, surprised and entertained!... Read more Read less

See it if you like good writing, funny plays

Don't see it if you have trouble understanding British accents

See it if You liked One Man, Two Guvnors and think that everything he does is going to be gold (but you'll be wrong...)

Don't see it if You're expecting a good play. The characters are dimbulbs and the relationships make no sense. The ending doesn't work at all.

See it if you are a big snooker fan, are able to ignore culturally insensitive jokes, and enjoy slow moving theater.

Don't see it if you value your time and are easily offended. I felt this to be transphobic, culturally insensitive, and sexist,- all for a laughs.

See it if you enjoy quirky British comedies with some great acting and exciting staging, which includes live broadcast of snooker match.

Don't see it if you are looking for Martin McDonough-esque drama.

Don't see it if you have difficulty understanding English accents. You'll miss some of the jokes.

See it if you want a light British comedy, you enjoy plays set in the world of sports or that have a plot built around a con

Don't see it if you are seeking well-developed characters or original story line. Some clever writing but performances were below par for the most part.

Also The play takes place in Sheffield but the accents were all over the British map and difficult to understand for many. The play had great reviews in London but I don't think this American production makes it work. May improve over time. The best scenes were the ones where they were just playing snooker.... Read more Read less

Don't see it if You’re going to behave badly, like the couple who were ejected from the front row at my performance.

See it if I guess if you like pool this may be interesting

Don't see it if You're hopeful it will be like One Man, Two Guvnors. Its not similar at all.

See it if You like a "classic" farce that, for many, will seem dated and unfunny. Or maybe you are a tourist who just wants to see any Broadway Show.

Don't see it if you are looking for original humor, well developed characters that you care about or, really, any redeeming qualities in a Broadway Show.

See it if Don't mind a slow moving plot with thought provoking subtlety and deadpan humor delivery Enjoy snarky, surreal British sarcasm & satire.

Don't see it if want a bloody good time , most of the first half requires a certain tolerance to halting expectation. If you want riveting go elsewhere.

See it if you like to laugh. Its a slow build but gets going after the first scene or two. Great acting and dialect work. The set is fantastic.

Don't see it if You're not patient. You don't like Brits.

Also It doesn't reach anywhere near the dizzying chaos of One Man Two Guvnors but its entertaining as hell and they play a couple live games of snooker on stage which is thrilling to watch.... Read more Read less

See it if Excellent comic-thriller. Strong performances across the board particularly; James Ellison Conlee, Ben Schnetzer and Max Gordon. Recommended

Don't see it if If you don't enjoy a flurry of foul language, British humor and a play without a message.

Also enjoyable comedy thriller, a genre that is seldom produced on Broadway. Some neat plot twists, terrific costumes and colorful, seamless set design. First act drags a wee bit, but should speed up with each performance. Unique production with live Snooker match unfolding on stage complete with hilarious play-by-play. Script is a bit uneven could have used a better ending. Overall a pleasant theater experience. Go see it.... Read more Read less
