See it if You like Tyler Perry plays. You are a fan of “The Chtlin Circuit” plays. You are a fan of Michael Urie. You can get discounted or comp’d tix

Don't see it if You are homophobic, you HATE Tyler Perry plays, you prefer a more nuanced script.

Also I enjoyed the fun humor and masterful acting from Michael Urie and Norm Lewis. There were some hilarious comedic gems thrown in the story as well but a few jokes fell flat on me and felt forced. The writing was mediocre and the story was predictable. Without the talented cast led by Norm Lewis and Michael Urie it would be a total flop. It totally reminded me of a Tyler Perry movie with a less nuanced storyline. Overall a fun show but a little one note. The script could use a dramaturge to add some nuance. ALSO there is NO intermission and the show is 120 minutes so pee before the show starts.

I did enjoy the way that the production made use of the theater in the round and involved the audience during the funeral scene.... Read more Read less

See it if you are interested in Japanese culture, comedy and storytelling. You are bringing the kids. You like old fashioned storytelling.

Don't see it if You have a short attention span.

See it if You love politics and Uma Thurman.

Don't see it if You don't like plays or are a Trump supporter.

Also Fascinating story with lots of plot twists. Uma gives a wonderful performance and the play really has some strong arguments about politics.... Read more Read less

Also Loved this Sondheim musical with the incredible Bernadette Peters and Elaine Stritch. Hunter Ryan Herdlicka was also fabulous as Henrik. I love Broadway musicals and Sondheim never disappoints.... Read more Read less

See it if You are an actor and you love contemporary Boradway musicals

Don't see it if you have problems with LGBT content and/or have no sense of humor

See it if You like experimental theatre/performance art and you want something the kids will enjoy too.

Don't see it if You are tripping on acid and/or clowns creep you out.

Also Funny, visually entertaining holiday show. The staging and special effects are fabulous and the show will entertain the whole family but that being said be warned there are a lot kids in the audience. Also, this theatre allows late seating even after the intermission smfh. I am lucky to have a friend who is a member of Actor’s Equity so I was able to see the show for FREE. Overall decent but I wouldn’t pay to see it unless I had kids.... Read more Read less

See it if You love Tina Turner’s music and you want to feel like you are at one of her concerts.

Don't see it if You don’t like r&b or rock n roll music.

Also Went to the invited dress rehearsal so not all of the tech kinks were worked out. Overall I LOVED the show and the actress who plays Tina. The actor who plays Ike was a little off key but overall a great show, great storytelling and wonderful staging. It’s a must-see.... Read more Read less
