See it if you are familiar with Peer Gynt story and will appreciate a modern take. Great acting by a small cast in multiple roles. Often delightful.

Don't see it if Not familiar with source material, I was often lost and found the plot meandering. As often with Eno, word play often twee and precious.

See it if you want to see a perfect gem of a musical. Each character perfectly cast. Sung / acted beautifully. Staged exquisitely. Estelle Parsons!

Don't see it if you need big production numbers. Perfectly staged in small venue. At times a tad confusing but things get clarified. A lovely new musical!

See it if you will enjoy some gems of great moments, scenes, good acting, great set, and witty dialogue amidst an incoherent mess.

See it if You want to see some periodic great staging with beautiful moments and scenes. Superb Tony! Good choreography. Ultimately does not gel.

Don't see it if You too will be distracted by the videos which overshadow rather than enhance the action on stage. Staging too often dilutes, distracts.

See it if you like British farce. Generally well acted and interesting though not particularly memorable.

Don't see it if you don't like British farce or characters all speaking past one another creating mayhem and disaster.

See it if you know someone in the production. Stammering dialogue was neither poetic nor illuminating. Character and plot development nonexistent.

Don't see it if you need understandable characters with rational motivations. I didn't care about any character except to wonder who was most irritating.

See it if you'd enjoy some good acting in a so-so play. Titillates with BDSM subject matter but doesn't delve or explore with any insight or depth.

Don't see it if you wouldn't enjoy a play with BDSM subject matter even if explored superficially.

Don't see it if you do not enjoy bawdy theater albeit one with intelligence and wit.

Don't see it if need a traditional plot and story line or don't like your comfort levels stretched a bit.

See it if you'll enjoy a fable like exploration of beauty, jealousy, feminism. Lovely blend of theater, music, dance. Well acted.

Don't see it if will not enjoy a reminder of lessons we all know but need to be reminded of. Need a naturalistic setting and exposition.

See it if you want to see a bare-bone production of Shakespeare. Good acting. Adequate staging.

Don't see it if you want a lavish and stylish production or a new take on a classic.

See it if you enjoy great story telling and great acting. The monologues are simply staged but the words and the actors make for a riveting evening.

Don't see it if you need realistic sets, or do not enjoy monologues. The simplicity of the staging enhanced the impact for me but maybe not for all.

See it if enjoy a mildly amusing play with some good moments that unfortunately gets a little bland. Some interesting ideas but over stretched.

Don't see it if you expect to hear Van Halen songs. Oddly not much music for a play about a band (though I suspect rights or lack thereof were the cause),

Don't see it if you do not enjoy a classic story recast in time and place. you do not appreciate portrayals of sex onstage even if relevant to the plot

See it if want to see a classic piece of theater beautifully staged and exquisitely acted. Great acting overall but Metcalf is sublime. A must see.

Don't see it if Running time is long, and the play sags a bit in Acts 2 and 3. Though hopefully that'll be ironed out in further previews.

Don't see it if you will not like a haunting tragic tale no matter how beautifully and honestly told.

See it if enjoy a well written, acted, and staged play. Excellent cast. Exuberantly entertaining but also deals with serious and contemporary issues.

Don't see it if will hate missing some of the dialogue due to accents and fast paced delivery. A bit long. But overall a delightful night of theater.

See it if You have a few hours to kill on a boring night.

Don't see it if You expect a coherent thought out play with interesting and developed characters whose motives and actions make sense.

See it if Would enjoy a thoughtful, albeit superficial, rumination on Othello and race in America today. Good acting.

Don't see it if If you expect an introspective, personal, and convincing take on race and Othello.

Also Hamilton Cobb’s play relies heavily on superficial tropes and headlines but does not delve deeper to connect a personal history and background that brought the actor to the Othello audition. I don’t disagree at all with the focus and message of the play, but wish the actor character connected to a more personal, and thus convincing and compelling, experience and story.... Read more Read less

Don't see it if you prefer big musicals or less talk-filled theater.

See it if if you like burlesque and a sexy revue of song, dance and acrobatics.

Don't see it if you expect a developed plot. Scenes only loosely based on Alice in Wonderland. Goes on too long.

See it if you enjoy great great acting in a beautifully written and well staged play. McDonald is great and Shannon spectacular.

Don't see it if need lots of action, plot twists, wizardry. The play is primarily talk between two characters - beautifully written, staged, and acted talk

Don't see it if you' prefer a more breezy play or musical. Some scenes intense and unrelenting.

Don't see it if need traditional theater with linear plot, character development, etc. Staging is often over the top and loud and frenetic.

See it if you like theater that explores ideas. Interesting exploration of our quest to better understand love, and science versus romance.

Don't see it if you wanted those ideas explored via full fledged characters. They represented points of view rather than fully realized characters.

Don't see it if you expect it to delve deeper than the fact that American history is intertwined with its shameful history of slavery.

See it if you would enjoy a masterful staging of a classic book. Innovative and refreshing.

Don't see it if you cannot sit for 6 hours.
