Don't see it if You like traditional musicals with a linear story. This talks about violence and history in Cambodia-do if prion is a trigger...

See it if You like Family drama that is not what it seems to be. Intriguing writing. Great use of live camera projections. Memories are bad narrators

Don't see it if 90 minutes with no intermission. You don’t like mysteries or family secrets. You don’t like bare sets. Character breaks fourth wall

See it if you like very short shows about one woman's obsession with death - we are all doomed to die so don't dwell on the bad stuff was the message?

Don't see it if death and sad stories are a trigger. you don't like balloons falling on your head. shows that are less than an hour. very amateurish

See it if A nice revisit to the original movie -but definitely a period piece. Fun to see Suzanne Vega. Who knew Mr. Maisel can sing? Initmate theater

See it if its an ambitious update on a classic - the projected live video stream makes for confusing perspectives. excellent dancing. diverse casting

Don't see it if young cast was not up to the vocal challenges. some live action takes place in rooms behind the set - you see the video feed? odd very dark

See it if The Alaniss morisette music matches a story full of multiple contemporary issues Some wonderful exciting musical numbers. Very contemporar

Don't see it if A modern encyclopedia of today’s issues-can feel like a smorgasbord. But really what we all face today just jam packed into 2 hours.

See it if Interesting idea that we all have different people inside of ourselves. We are constantly evolving-taking parts of ourselves through life

Don't see it if actors Change sex, names clothes, family dynamics while going through the same experiences It was hard to follow-and didn’t really amount

See it if astonishing experience exploring the dynamic of young black gay men-all three actors rotate the parts decided randomly. stays with you

Don't see it if Stories with gay themes, male nudity, suicide ideology are triggers. Unconventional theatricality-don’t likeshows that break the fourth Wall

See it if Very well acted play about a town going defunct in Idaho and some long time town members . cycles trough many emotional moments

Don't see it if it's long - 2 intermissions - slice of life in the mid west - most action is told rather than seen. Some characters are less well developed

See it if gold is a big presence, friendly, good mimic-sometimes funny/smart commentary about her mother, ex partner and being a Jewish, lesbian, comi

Don't see it if She is uneven-sometimes trying g to tap into pathos before hitting a punch line. Many of the stories feel recycled from past shows.

See it if 2nd preview so still a work in progress. Lovely story based on sweet movie. Young high energy cast. Great soundtrack. Creative staging

Don't see it if Too many less than fully developed storylines but hoping they will sharpen characters going forward. Great potential

See it if a great 2 person drama. MLP is superb as an english professor. Many ways to interpret the play and ending. caused Lots of great discussion .

Don't see it if you do not like one act, 2 person dramas. Very dark. Meaning of play is open ended and caused much debate among my 6 friends

See it if you know the story of Judy' s early life. Music is old standards. Ruby Rakos does a great job of bringing judy to life but not imitating

See it if Fabulous acting by all-peter Dinklage is perfection- the whole company filling multiple roles are terrific. Music Enhances the storytelling

Don't see it if Don’t go for the vocal performances, or the actual lyrics, focus on the emotion of the music. Found the second act to be stronger

See it if You like dark comedy about sad life choices. Enjoy seeing a story about s 50 year old man picking up his life. You live Tracy letts’ plays

Don't see it if You are squeamish about on stage nudity and sex acts. Are put off by creepy older men / younger women. First act moved along at better pace

See it if The use of contemporary music to tell the story is epic. Loved the song mash ups-fantastic dancing, contagious energy. Aaron is sublime.

Don't see it if If you don’t like musicals or don’t like shows without original scores. The story is a little schmaltzy but you know what to expect

See it if The idea of a group of young adults in a book group is intriguing-but we never care about any of the characters. Some interesting movement.

Don't see it if so many ideas that are briefly mentioned but nothing gets developed - the characters drone on in circles. i nodded off-I never do that!

See it if seeing a show at boscobel is about more than just the theater - the picnic on the hudson and the unbelievable setting elevates everything

Don't see it if The acting is uneven, the sets and props are amateurish but they try to bring humor and modernize these classics for wide appeal.

See it if You enjoy plays that deal with passage of time and how events from childhood inform adulthood. First half is acted solely by kids.

Don't see it if You don’t like dramas that Slip in and out of realism but drops enough hints that second half is not unforeseen. It’s pretty short

See it if Clever retelling of the classic-interesting mash up of current culture. Interesting casting choices

Don't see it if It’s a little loud, histrionic. Do t see it if you are not familiar with the original. Don’t see it if you like ‘realism’

Don't see it if You did not like the original book, you don’t like stories involving racial injustice. You don’t like non traditional musicals

See it if Interesting use of a new theater space-you like big arena shows (like taking your kids to see power rangers) you love Kung fu. Sis music

Don't see it if The show makes water, fire, flying special effects dull. the singing and acting are subpar. Even the king fu choreography is uninspired. Sad

See it if Susan Sarandon s performance is incredible. It is well acted throughout-tsome accents a little overblown Topical subject

Don't see it if One long act, starts off light hearted but quickly devolves into a serious topic. The foreshadowing of turns in the plot are somewhat obviou

See it if one mans stories of his various travel experiences at different borders-across the world & over different timelines. Very clever lighting

Don't see it if Did not really tackle the current issues with borders and walls-not really sure what made his stories a show it’s a one man show

See it if Fun musical speaks to the loser feelings we all have-wanting a cureall to become popular. Bathroom song is killer. Young people in the house

Don't see it if music is not exceptionally memorable-except that bathroom number. Sets, costumes all pretty slapdash looking but maybe that’s why teens love

See it if you like the writing of john guare - i wonder if anyone other than guare wrote this, if lincoln center would have produced it? interesting

Don't see it if the acting and unrealistic portrayals of the characters can get on your nerves. the staging tricks also get overused - no realism

See it if Admirable-hard to keep in mind this is Maddie’s real life experience-that she is willing to relive and retell this awful experience nightly

Don't see it if It’s sometimes hard to listen to-and hard to understand some of her decisions Who knows how you would react in the same situation

See it if An incredible set, interesting premise set in the art world that kind of devolves - Alan cumming is in incredible shape. It is surprising

Don't see it if It is long-3 hours w/2 intermissions. Quite a bit of full male nudity. It has a Greek chorus of choir women that did not make sense to me

See it if You like new musicals, great, hardworking performers. Wonderful intriguing first act. Songs reminiscent of if/then. Some imaginative staging

Don't see it if Second act falls short of expectations set up by first act-more solos, ballads.you don’t like shows that mix emotionality with fantasy

See it if You like and can appreciate an imaginative retelling of Alice in wonderland framed in a girls imagination during the London blitz-great song

Don't see it if It is not a linear, clear retelling of the fairy tale. It is very cerebral. You did not like spring awakening.

See it if Getting to watch Elaine may is a true theatrical event. She’s amazing in this show-all the acting is top notch. Realistic portrayal of aging

Don't see it if If watching a family deal with an aging parents descent into dementia is too upsetting, don’t see this show. Makes you want to call your mom

See it if Colin Quinn presents a 70 min set on the state of the us today. Very topical references but not overly political. Fast paced, conversational

Don't see it if You don’t like Colin Quinn’s delivery-more stream of consciousness than a tightly rehearsed comic timing. You are a trump supporter.

See it if a multi generational family story taking place during The Troubles in ireland -do not need to be fluent in history to understand the story

Don't see it if you have a hard time with accents. worth splurging for better seats to really see all the facial acting. it is long but the time speeds by

See it if An original musical with lively and spirited dancing. Explores lgbtq themes in an honest, emotional yet fun way. Some bway insider jokes

Don't see it if You don’t like big song and dance musicals. Some over the top and cliched portrayals of characters. You are from Indiana.

See it if The ape puppet! Masterful art watching crew maneuver Kong-emotions come across clearly. Truly a marvel- very cool set pieces and effects.

Don't see it if Beyond the puppet, the characters are not fully realized and their motivations make no sense. Many plot points left hanging-the book is poor

See it if You are a fan of the book/movie. It’s subtly updated and feels current. Celia keenen Bolger and Jeff Daniels are wonderful. Nice sets

Don't see it if It’s a little long- and some characters feel a little stereotyped-The adults as the kids take a little time to get used to.

See it if You love the movie, love the 90’s or live the Disney star dove Cameron. Nostalgic costumes and references to 90’s culture are fun

Don't see it if You LOVE the movie-the actors try but don’trise to the challenge. music is cobbled together lyrics to 90’s songs Too much breaking 4th wall

See it if you grew up watching sonny and cher belting out the songs from your 45's! stephanie j block channels cher .Mackie's costumes are incredible

Don't see it if you don't like cher songs or musicals that jump back and forth in time - some subjects are not given the time and depth they deserve

See it if you enjoy extremely well written musings that meander yet are still funny and poignant. Michael C Hall is a wonderful actor to watch

Don't see it if You do not like one man plays that do not have a typical story arc. You really need to listen to the language - Eno plays with his words

See it if A group of young adults form a collective to protest the Vietnam war. What does it mean to be a collective? Some interesting performances

Don't see it if Very uneven script that tries to make too many points that are current hot topics-like they were winking at the audience while being dramati

See it if Interesting show about what really makes a person. Kind of nature vs nurture battle but in a research setting with an adoption story thrown.

Don't see it if It’s a little heady and a little intellectual. Some gratuitous nudity-depending on where you are sitting in the theater. A little predictabl
