donna 11

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 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 It is not a linear, clear retelling of the fairy tale. It is very cerebral. You did not like spring awakening.

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 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 Loved Edie falco-she was magical to watch. Rapid fire, overlapping dialogue about politics, loyalty, female vs without being preachy

See it if You know the music, it puts you in a good mood and everyone in the audience is dancing in their seats You learn a little about the person

Don't see it if The book/script is very elementary and jump around in time to fit all the songs in with meaning. More time could be spent story development

See it if it is a well meaning revival - not sure it is as shocking as it was when it was first produced. well acted - the word captioning adds alot

See it if You like supporting small off off broadway theaters with ambitious goals. Story tries to be provocative. Creative use of a difficult space

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 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

Don't see it if Star driven by armie hammer-easy to be dazzled by his looks. beginning attempts to jar the audience out of their comfort zone and expections

Also I saw it at the first preview-due to a change in casting the understudy performed as the dad-a rather large role. I am curious how the timing and cast will gel with the right actor and as time gives them more opportunity to perform together... Read more Read less
