See it if If you want to see some great performers trying to do something new with classic material

Don't see it if You want to see something that at times feel like community theater

Also The leads are amazing, the ensemble not so much. The show feels super cheap at times. But it still touches the heart when it needs to. Lower your expectations and you’ll have a better time... Read more Read less

Don't see it if You’re not ok with a 3 hour run time

Also The ending is not good. So good and then it all falls apart in the last ten minutes... Read more Read less

See it if You enjoy an evening of cliches

Don't see it if You enjoy good acting or a good script

Also Everyone is acting with a capital A. The accents are ridiculous, there is a drunk scene which I couldn't believe the director allowed to be so broad, and deep down only one of the actors felt like a human. The script has somethings to say, but it gets confused as to whether it's a bad sitcom or an episode of the West Wing.... Read more Read less

See it if You enjoy Lauren Molina and an interesting twist on Shakespeare

Don't see it if You want to see something that feels new and exciting.

Also I really wanted to like the show but I just found the music forgettable, the acting broad, and the concept boring. Until Lauren Molina’s first song. She elevated the whole show, but the rest was so blah and pedestrian I can’t recommend it.... Read more Read less

Don't see it if You are expecting something light and without substance

See it if It's a production that goes all out. The acting is strong, the concept affecting.

Don't see it if You don't like to mix your politics with your Shakespeare.

Also It's a striking and controversial production that is unflinching.

See it if You like good singers giving their all.

Don't see it if You enjoy plot, good writing and references from the last thirty years.

Also Imagine your grandfather had a lot of money and wanted to write and put up a musical. All of the cultural references are thirty years old (Heavy Metal the big music of our time? Really?) Everyone is trying so hard to polish a turd, but a turd is a turd.... Read more Read less

Also A great production, the voices are always great even if the acting is not!... Read more Read less

See it if Half the show is well acted and sung with some exciting new songs...

Don't see it if The other half is not strong. The lead is unlikeable as a character and he could not sing the songs written for him the night I saw it.

Also By choosing to focus on modern protagonist, the show cheapens the memory of those who died... Read more Read less
