Don't see it if Looking for upbeat happy play

See it if Great acting, thought provoking show, but sometimes I could not follow the differences among the arguments proposed

Don't see it if Do not like Intense intellectual exercise.

See it if Charming, sometimes funny show but nothing new. A pretty girl that talks and talks about self without realizing most have suffered worse

Don't see it if Looking for meaning, drama or great theater- not even that funny.

See it if Like quirky ,absurd, almost slapstick production with a few ( too few) good moments. Even the swearing is repetitive.

Don't see it if Like Chekhov or expect insights

See it if Loved the original But will not mind dark disturbing changes , particularly in second act.

Don't see it if Loved original and do not like disturbing changes.

See it if Like well acted presentation of a unique woman and insight into the sad, painful and also humorous reality of Negro Baseball Leagues

Don't see it if Want a usual big Broadway show. Shows the injustice and pain more effectively than many of the angry shows.

See it if Like Innovative technology and effective original staging. Fascinating to watch how done.

Don't see it if Expect a typical puppet show or traditional theater.

See it if Explicit, raunchy funny situations, punctuated by a few some special moments of insights. Not clear what play wants to do or be

Don't see it if Object to excessive obscenity and over the top sexual situations.

See it if Charming piece of post WW2 political maneuvering— funny how relevant now. Good acting

Don't see it if Somewhat slow until Mary comes on scene. Certain portrayals are excessively subservient and objectionable

See it if Outstanding unusual theater, brilliantly acted. Never lagged- Just wish it did not turn into love story at end

Don't see it if Do not like one person show. Looking for something relaxing

See it if Thoroughly enjoyable show. Well written, good acting and not preaching. But will never look at ducks same way again

Don't see it if Looking for big Broadway production.

See it if want evening of excellent music and don’t care about script, acting or story. Interesting visuals- but for many, not clear what or why.

Don't see it if You are a Toscanini fan and want to learn about him.Instead, poorly portrayed “one liners,”absent of any of Maestro’s charisma or passion.

See it if Like intelligent humor.First hour very good-sometimes brilliant—but last 15 minutes falters badly.Suggest contest for better State 1 liners

Don't see it if Hold strong political beliefs and cannot take any criticism of them , however accurate

See it if Intelligent nuanced story with excellent singing. Two of numbers were special enough to go just for them. Believable characters

Don't see it if Expect big production numbers. Issue with hearing some of characters

See it if Somewhat humorous cliche retelling of old story. Unusual only in its taking place in Ghana.

Don't see it if Looking for theater to say or do something innovative. Disappointed that overly cliched and no “ special” moment

See it if You are a Channing and/or Dancy fans. Intelligent, often funny, play.

Don't see it if Second half somewhat a cop-out and confusing .Pertinent relevant topic- but not adequately explored.

See it if Early preview. Potential but needs to be tightened up. Excellent acting.

Don't see it if Currently slow with too many stated but not adequately developed issues/ themes.

See it if Like quirky funny human comedy. Although second short play faltered and dragged, the delightful last short made up for it.

Don't see it if Like more traditional and less quirky theater. Better if know the books which are the center of the last play.

See it if You like a very silly plot made worse by difficulty with some of accents. Second half is much better than first

Don't see it if You think British humor is smart and witty. This is like Monty Python wolithout the intelligence.

See it if I can not think of a reason unless family or friend of one of actors. Dull and pretentious. There were a few good and/or promising actors

Don't see it if Expect subtlety or good theater. At times, it was a comic parody of what it intended

See it if Well acted, thoughtful examination of human progress and dilemma .

Don't see it if Show at times is a thinly disguised, although always interesting, lecture

See it if Want to see a great enchanting Desdemona and a sometime excellent Iago.

Don't see it if Many of racist lines make little sense when Rodrigo (a spurned suitor) is also black.Othello lacked charisma and too soon became “unhinged”

See it if Good acting in play about relevant issue. Grand daughters both particularly good

Don't see it if Do not want to be totally depressed. Dealing with End of life of mother in a particularly disfunctional family

See it if The show is tightened up — including replacing the absurd strawmen with more realistic possibilities and options. Now stiff lacking nuance

Don't see it if Want realistic portrayal of issues— not cardboard figures and fake alternatives. Very SLOW and largely predictable.

See it if Wish to see good cast in an unfortunately not well developed play. First act stronger than second.

Don't see it if Want a story, character development and resolution. Like the Sister, too much is missing

See it if Like Shaw. Good acting, although I have seen several of them do much better.

Don't see it if Expect more development and nuance. Cleopatra particularly weak- does not show Development from girl to Queen ( except for costume).

Also What is with that strange set?! Boat wreck or left over from Peter Pan perhaps?... Read more Read less

See it if Funny charming intelligent rapper/comedian. Some parts much better than others- but that is nature of freestyle. Best when just talking

Don't see it if Don’t like rap at all. Prefer more scripted presentation

See it if Really like the songs and don’t mind excessively loud singing, stupid story, surprisingly weak dancing and repetitive special effects

Don't see it if Would like to understand the words, continuous loud noise bothers you. Some of the leads deserve better.

See it if Intelligent well acted show about important topic

Don't see it if Want happy Broadway production

See it if Funny raunchy entertaining- sometimes repetitious and unnecessarily long. Two loong intermissions, likely for selling more drinks

Don't see it if Over the top and lots of barely covered bodies bother you. Annoying excessively long intermissions— one should be enough.

See it if Want an extremely enjoyable evening out. Funny and totally charming. All actors excellent

Don't see it if Want serious thought provoking examination or exposition of issues.

See it if Like High energy production of story. Clever staging.

Don't see it if Interested in moral issues and theology of story . Instead cardboard cutouts. Frenetic pacing throughout- exhausting to even just watch.

See it if Well acted, sometimes funny but weird, odd, confusing. How ? Why? What? At first edged and intriguing but then “ enough already”

Don't see it if Want a clear, plot, story or purpose

See it if Potentially fascinating subject with often engaging actors

Don't see it if Go elsewhere if want nuanced discussion of issues or couple that solves their problems.

See it if Want to say that you saw everything by this author. Amusing but often overworked and confusing as what was intended. Second half better than

Don't see it if Expect good comedy or alternatively thought provoking theater.

See it if Like LaBute’s work- as this is consistent with other pieces. LaBute touches important issues and feelings, but then shys away.

Don't see it if Don’t like monologues-two of pieces are monologues by not terribly sympathetic people.Object to women being portrayed as silly or dumb

See it if Wish to experience Absorbing theater with outstanding performances concerning relevant issues.

Don't see it if Space is difficult and often uncomfortable.

See it if Touching thought provoking theater at its best

Don't see it if Can not think of a reason— except ladies room line situation is a Disaster.Come o—surely there is a way for less bars and more stalls

See it if Like cliched situation comedy of young couple with obnoxious parents and absurd characters, and do not mind uncomfortable basement theater

Don't see it if Do not like overacted cliches one actress used voice is continuously shrill and grating. Not clever enough for farce.

See it if Totally enjoyable experience. Fun, silly and tasty— with some explosions of comic brilliance.

Don't see it if You want your Shakespeare “ straight”.

See it if Show drops or improves the very bad accents. Lead excessively stiff and wooden. Only female lead believable- she deserves better.

Don't see it if Dislike that a potentially interesting story is poorly told. Jumping back and forth in time is confusing and serves no purpose. Bad acting

Also Unnecessary savaging of historic characters for no purpose. Accents sometimes so poorly done as to be a parody, and without consistency.... Read more Read less

See it if Like unusual charming shows. Likely the single hand segments best of all— some hilarious. Hint: do not sit in first row- harms some effects

Don't see it if Looking for traditional Broadway or one man show( plus there are 2 people)

See it if Like one person shows. Show has funny/touching moments but too long, meandering and portions difficult to understand. Overly sentimental.

Don't see it if Do not like one man shows or have trouble with heavy accents.Portions overly long and repetitive

Also Theater FREEZING

See it if Good acting by all actors, but each trapped in cliched almost comic book role. Song by Betty 2 at end was highlight- wish more like it.

Don't see it if Expect a message or original thought - expect more from MCC. Saying Pussy constantly is NOT a breakthrough or innovative.

Don't see it if Do not like one person shows and/or graphic deeply disturbing materials.

See it if Like author. Original treatment of painful material. Great acting- particularly second portion

Don't see it if Avoid painful and/or overly long monologues. Find the third portion to be revolting and boring and not celebratory

See it if Enjoyable work by talented performers. Funny and charming

Don't see it if Basically feels like a work in progress and although some moments funny, not halarious

See it if Like outstanding imaginative dancing that unscores the themes. Uneven, but generally very good cast, presents several thoughtful issues.

Don't see it if Tired of still another diatribe against Trump. Tries to deal with too many issues. Some pieces condescending and objectionable.

See it if Well acted fascinating story. Excellent use of simple, limited staging

Don't see it if Looking for lavish production or do not like one person shows. I Wish they had added photo of adult Charlotte

See it if Another delightful musical from York. Great singing- with tunes where the words matter.
