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.

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

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.

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

Don't see it if Upset by unconventional lifestyles and/or swearing

See it if You see it on a better day— this was particularly bad and even Randy alluded to it. Rants, more than humor. Poor choices of participants

See it if Silly charming fun. Delightful evening at theater

Don't see it if Not fluent in English or do not like word play.

See it if Relevant play well acted by both leads

Don't see it if Expect supporting actors and material to advance and develop story and motivation. Instead- sketchy characters, not well written

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.

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 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

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.

Don't see it if If looking for big broadway show.

See it if Absorbing thought provoking show- with humorous parts. Expect it to be a future hit.

Don't see it if You have problem with sitting a long time. Over 2 1/4 hours. Scene with dead deer was very hard to take and think was unnecessary.

See it if Want to see JL no matter how bad the material. Used to say I would watch him recite the alphabet— that would have been preferable. No nuance

Don't see it if Object to objectionable dull story, greatly overdone. Second act is better but there also always full throttle, with no variation

See it if Amazing immersive experience- joyful, sad and at times frightening

Don't see it if You have mobility issues- there is no way/place to just sit and watch.

See it if intelligent but confusing drama. (Spent much of the 2 intermissions explaining the relationships) based on historical people .
