See it if you love Bertolt Brecht and you just don't get to see much by him in NYC.

Don't see it if you are not interested in a stilted translation and performances. It was a little hard to endure.

See it if You have to see Stockard Channing in anything. Same for Hugh Dancy.

Don't see it if You are put off by excessively long and somewhat didactic “serious” new dramas.

Also As with a lot of new dramatic plays that I have seen recently, this is seriously flawed. But Stockard Channing was fun to watch. Hugh Dancy underutilized even with 2 roles.... Read more Read less

Also I saw the original plays in East Village and I saw the Broadway production. I just do not believe that there is not a way to produce this play without addressing comtemporay themes. And what is it about Michael Urie going into and coming out of Harvey Fierstein drag. I like Urie but I thought his performance was a failure.... Read more Read less
