Not "noises off", Light silly entertainment, Broadway direction tighter, Not as strong as broadway cast, Dated

See it if you want to see what the show is all about

Don't see it if you saw the Broadway production - although a few of the cast members are strong.

Fluffy

See it if You like physical comedy. You like silly/ stupid.

Don't see it if I totally did not find this funny, yet everyone else was laughing. I just did not understand this kind of “funny.”

Disappointing, Great staging, Entertaining

See it if You're in the mood for silly comedy.

Don't see it if You're expecting a great play. The physical comedy and set are terrific. Overall, it's enjoyable but some moments really aren't that funny. Read more

Cliched, Entertaining, Delightful, Funny, Hilarious

See it if You like slapstick and silliness. It’s a fun play and nothing too deep. Go with the glow and enjoy.

Don't see it if You don’t have a sense of humor. Like serious and thought provoking plays.

Quirky, Confusing, Great writing, Great staging, Hilarious

See it if you enjoy Monty Python humour. The set is also one of the funniest and smartest ever made for a Broadway play.

Don't see it if you need a sincere, unpredictable plot. Some jokes are repetitive and the action doesn't get really zany until act two.

Broad, Energetic, Quirky, Fluffy, Funny

See it if You're a fan of modern panto-style shows - silly, farcial, and heavily driven by physical comedy

Don't see it if you're bothered by being "ahead of the joke" or able to see most of the jokes/plot twists coming
