See it if you enjoy an all female cast, liberal/ funny/ raunchy jokes, and clever staging. It's an energetic play.

Don't see it if You're not comfortable with political messages. You're in the mood for a fully fleshed bio musical about Nina.

Also It's two concerts with her speaking between the songs. I was a bit disappointed because I was expecting something else, more of a staged play with a beginning, middle, and end.... Read more Read less

Don't see it if Can't think of any reason. There's a bit of politicaI preaching in there but I loved it. May not be for conservatives.

Also Even if you're not a Talking Heads fan, you'll like it. I only knew 2 songs and nothing about David Byrne but went solely on the reviews. It exceeded my expectations. The best Broadway show I've seen... ever? Better than Hamilton, Wicked, Dear Evan Hansen, Lion King, Les Mis, Phantom, Rent, .. in my humble opinion.... Read more Read less
