See it if you like boundary pushing theatre that makes you feel uncomfortable, but sparks a discussion.

Don't see it if you don't want to experience the greatness of Branden Jacobs-Jenkins

See it if you want a less intense Children of Men.

Don't see it if I don't know, it's hard to tell because it was only the second preview but there's some strange dramaturgical stuff I wasn't into.

See it if you like fourth wall-obliterating immersive theatre that plays with plot camp beautifully.

Don't see it if experimental musical theatre isn't your thing. Or if you hated the structure of Hedwig and the Angry Inch.

See it if you want to be hypnotized by a visual feast

Don't see it if you want plot

See it if you like old fashioned theatre

Don't see it if you want to see people who actually look invested in the performance

See it if you like Wayne Brady (he's great here) and are satisfied with just a few great songs in a wasteland of mediocre songs.

Don't see it if you value storytelling

See it if you're looking for an engaging two-hander.

Don't see it if you don't like having two people on stage the whole show (?)

See it if you like the classic living room drama setup.

Don't see it if you're looking for something more challenging.

See it if you enjoy plays of any kind. It's imperfect and quite predictable, but joyously fun to watch.

Don't see it if you don't want to? I don't know, there's really no reason not to see this show.

See it if you love Bob Fosse and you understand that the staging is minimalist (which is fine, but not executed very well here).

See it if you enjoy small performances spaces and a twisted plot.

Don't see it if you don't enjoy a slow plot.

See it if you like challenging and abstract theatre

Don't see it if you're allergic to that

Also This play is beyond stunning and I was fully captivated- truly some of the greatest surrealist works I've seen... until [spoilers kinda] the decision was made to break the fourth wall spell out all of the play's themes. I think the ending portion, for me, said much of what I was already extrapolating, and betrayed the astonishing tension which was so brilliantly built up. Still see this if you can get a ticket though.... Read more Read less

Don't see it if --

See it if you'd like a quiet, surreal, gorgeous, and deeply haunting meditation on friendship and death. This play will forever stick with me.

Don't see it if you're with a small child. Actually, do take them, as the sex scene in this show is one of the best and most real I've ever seen.

See it if you enjoy sharp writing and morally fucked characters. It's extremely engaging and the drama is fantastic.
