Adam 20

See it if Despite knowing OBC by heart, you think the show can still amaze and astound. It can and does. Massively heightened expectations exceeded

Don't see it if You are claustrophobic, b/c coming out to lobby after the show is v crowded. Other than that. No. No reason not to see it- It's Hamilton!

See it if You want a show that is both specific and universal, one that could be talking about your family and all families. And is damn entertaining.

Don't see it if You don't like to be challenged in the theater or want simplistic plays.

See it if You believe the show's message and examination of prejudice and group-think is just as relevant today as when it first came out.

Don't see it if You are not a fan of great writing and insight into human psyche

See it if A funny farce with a plum role in its center in the form of Mme. Arcati. Cast her right and the show hits the mark.

Don't see it if OK it's not laugh-a-minute, and could be a bit creaky, but still worth seeing it. You'll at least leave in good spirits.

See it if You wanted the chance to see a trouper like Jackie Hoffman in a great comic performance. Bonus points for a fun turn from Lypsinka.

Don't see it if OK it's a bit long and a bit thin on the story side,. but the winning lead performances made up for that.

See it if You have fond memories of Jerry Orbach, or enjoy occasionally clever word play in your lyrics. Or if corny is your thing.

Don't see it if You think subtlety is a good thing. I also didn't buy the back-and-forth romance at the center of the chestnut of a show.

See it if You want an absorbing, smart, insightful evening of theater exploring life, death, disappointment, relationships and math. It's worth it.

Don't see it if Math and madness aren't really your ideal night out.

See it if You are looking for a moving, affecting story of family conflict, friendship and bonding w/animals. The puppetry here is truly amazing

Don't see it if You hate crying in public. Trust me, no spoilers, but it's gonna happen. It's called War Horse not Peace Horse.

See it if You enjoy hearing those classic Jerry Herman songs like Bosom Buddies, Open A New Window and the title song (natch.)

Don't see it if You are expecting riveting plot points. Guessing they probably felt a bit dated when La Lansbury spoke them way back when.

See it if You like slamming doors, stupendous farce, and great comic timing. It's an hilarious show; never gets old, as long as the actors are game.

Don't see it if You are not in the mood to laugh, laugh or laugh again.

See it if You leave your expectations at the door (or airport lounge) and enjoy a new take on an old French farce. Fine comic timing helps it take off

Don't see it if Flighty farce isn't your thing, or a belief that the '60s and screwball comedy shouldn't be seen out in public together.

See it if You like Sting or The Police or if you have a lot of time to kill. Otherwise...

Don't see it if You like to be surprised by musicals' plots.. And if you want deja vu, just sub in the working class men of Billy Elliot for the men here.

See it if You've come to laugh at Chekhov tropes, or just want to laugh. It's a smart, well-written show. You don't have to know Checkhov to have fun

See it if You're a fan of Brecht and Duncan Sheik (he did the new score).

Don't see it if You're looking for a light-and-fluffy comedy.

Don't see it if You are in the mood for light comedy

See it if You like your valentines to be on the bittersweet side, but are a fan of great writing, this revival delivers laughs and insight.

Don't see it if Some dated references throughout a show throw you off.

See it if Really one of the experiences you need to see for yourself, a fun night of percussion and marshmallows, surprises and a spectacle of color.

Don't see it if You want dialogue and/or dancing. Or if you are color blind, I suppose

See it if You like thoughtful, dark, dark comedies and don't mind the carnage. Twisty and engaging.

Don't see it if You have trouble with dead bodies, or dead cats for that matter, or are looking for light entertainment. This is not that.

See it if You want poignant, heart-breaking and ultimately life-affirming theater. So well-acted, with heartfelt lyrics that are of today and timeless

Don't see it if No reason not to see it. None. Ben Platt is supernova good, and every member of the small cast matches him

See it if You want to see one of Shakespeare's best comedies. Love! Cross-dressers! Word play! It's all there to enjoy.

Don't see it if You get tripped up by Shakespearean language

See it if You like audience-participation murder-mystery comedy. And what's not to like about that combo? Practically the definition of crowd-pleaser.

Don't see it if Having some of the jokes be on the dated or clunky side bothers you, or if you are afraid of getting involved in the show.

See it if You can get past the title, it's worth it. Sharp political satire, funny songs and a good time, with nice dance moves by the company.

Don't see it if You can't get past the title,. Otherwise, you're in for an inventive, original night of theater.

See it if You like having fun in the theater, buoyed by a great lead and some young kids who can really rock. You won't be disappointed.

Don't see it if You were one of the few who didn't like the movie that the show is based on. (Who are you people, anyway?).

See it if You are an Idina fan. The acting is good throughout, despite the shortcoming of the material.

Don't see it if You like songs that actually make an impact or resonate rather than ones that don't seem distinctive at all. The show is also cliche-filled.

See it if You are dying for another iteration of the Peter Pan story, were a fan of the movie it is loosely based on and don't like surprises in shows

Don't see it if Oh look, another origin story for the genesis of Peter Pan. Predictable, unimaginative, with wan songs and performances to match I'm afraid.

See it if You like to think, and be challenged, on a sharp take on race relations and reverberations through the years from A Raisin In The Sun.

Don't see it if You don't want to spend a couple hours thinking of race relations over the years. Look, there's a reason it won the Pulitzer and Tony.

See it if You want a literate, moving and thoughtful night of theater. It''s a classic for a reason people. It's a poignant exploration of life.

Don't see it if You don't want to be challenged in the theater, or disliked it's previous stage versions.

See it if You enjoy shows that haven't lost their power one bit. It's in-your-face message at the dawn of AIDS is as essential now as ever. Must-see.

Don't see it if You are intolerant, or are afraid of being challenged or lectured to in the theater.

See it if You want inventive, wordless display of percussive theatricality (There, I think I made up a phrase.) They bang on everything., really.

Don't see it if You are in the mood for witty dialogue. Or any dialogue. Or if you have a headache. Definitely not if you have a headache.

See it if You are a fan of sharp, witty, well-drawn characters having at each other for the entire show. It's Funny, insightful, surprising.

Don't see it if You aren't interested in comically dissecting middle-class perspectives over the course of one evening

See it if You are a fan of Seinfeld/Curb/Larry David. It's a fairly funny spiel from David's mind stretched to play length. Mostly funny shtick.

Don't see it if Some of the lines seemed rushed in the production I saw but the overall power of Wilson's words still came through.

See it if You are a fan of Ms. King's, or like Jersey Boys-style shows exploring an artist's career. Good tale of how she persevered as a solo artist

Don't see it if You don't like her music or '60s songs or Jersey Boys.

See it if You like powerful performances in a slimmed-down revival w/a revelatory leading lady, gospel-tinged songs and Jennifer Hudosn too.

Don't see it if You are looking for a night of light comedy, or didn't care for the movie upon which it is based.

See it if Like Comden and Green's clever lyrics, Kristin Chenoweth at the very top of her game and just a fun, frothy, frentic time in the theater.

Don't see it if Older musicals aren't your thing. Not exactly the most surprising of plots but who cares.
