See it if you are in New York City. Everyone needs to see this show!

Don't see it if no...everyone should see this show.

Also Whether or not you like musicals, you need to see this show for the story and the message alone. This is a show with a lot of heart that everyone can benefit from - both those who accept and support LGBTQI individuals and (especially) those who don't. It represents and treats both "sides" with understanding and compassion. For the good of humanity, please go see this show!... Read more Read less

See it if you are a fan of King Kong or enjoy theatre for the spectacle.

Don't see it if you want a musical with great songs and a decent book.

Also I applaud the show's efforts to give the story a strong female lead, but they let her down by terrible songs and an even worse book. The fact that the leading lady sings an upbeat song at the end of the show right after Kong dies that basically says, "oh well, at least we learned something" displays the lack of focus and finesse that went into the book and music.

The puppet and some of the automated stage elements were incredible and impressive and worth going to see, but don't expect much more than spectacle.... Read more Read less

See it if you want to see a fresh take on this classic musical or if you like Bartlett Sher's other revivals.

Don't see it if you are looking for a short, sweet musical comedy romance. No romance here.

Also Norbert Leo Butz stole the show in my opinion. I would have watched an extended version of just "I'm Getting Married in the Morning" for three hours!
The costumes and set were gorgeous and detailed. Simply exquisite.... Read more Read less

See it if you like Shakespeare, great acting, and watching shows outside!

Don't see it if you don't like political theatre, Shakespeare, or modern adaptations of old works.

See it if you like Robbie Fairchild. The concept is great. The music, dancing, & projections were incredible. The acting, writing & direction were not

See it if you like Harry Potter or just want to see a really excellent magic show.

Don't see it if you don't like Harry Potter and are not impressed by illusion.

Also This show was worth it for the illusions and magic tricks alone. It was nice to have a story with familiar characters as well. I did not care for how some of the characters were written - particularly Ron - and don't accept this play as canon, but it was still an excellent and visually beautiful show with fine acting. I can't say too much more because #keepthesecrets... Read more Read less

See it if you are a fan of Kurt Vonnegut, or like absurdist plays that hold a mirror up to society in a humorous way.

Don't see it if you don't find sarcasm funny or don't like Kurt Vonnegut.

Also This was a very good staging of "Happy Birthday, Wanda June." There were some really smart directing and acting choices that gave more depth to the characters and made this show hilarious! That is a great counterbalance to some of the more intense scenes. Beautiful staged and acted. Bravo!... Read more Read less

See it if you want to support small theatre or love new, raw plays. Also, if you just like Antigone.

Don't see it if you want a polished play with excellent writing and direction.

Also It is a very intimate space which they used creatively. There were some great ideas in this somewhat modern adaptation of Antigone, but as with a lot of writer/directors it lacked an editing eye, clear emotional arcs, and strong intentions. The actors did a lot with what they were given.

Additionally, after reading about the process of this acting company, I feared for the safety of the actors to be allowed to self-direct night-to-night, especially in the physical scenes.... Read more Read less
