See it if You want to see all the new shows this season

Don't see it if You don’t want to waste 3 hours. The cast and set are great but the piece itself is so dull and boring. There’s nothing to connect to

See it if You want to see a brilliant new staging of one of the most brilliant and loved musicals of all time. Fantastic!

Don't see it if I honestly can’t think of a reason. Probably just go see it

See it if you want to welcome back Broadway with a passionate and personal piece.

Don't see it if you want to bring small children. there's a lot of language and adult themes.

See it if McDonagh excites you like he does me! His writing is so clever and intricate. The performances are amazing especially Addy and Stevens!

Don't see it if Thick accents bother you or you don’t like dark humor.

See it if You want to see a much needed shake up of a classic. Forget what you knew and experience the new. It’s hauntingly powerful.

Don't see it if You can’t except change

Also While I loved the production there’s no rightful reason the production is protecting the actions of Ramasar. He’s replaceable in the show. That being said, the positive is that 33 excellent performers are making their debuts in a strikingly original take of this piece.... Read more Read less

See it if You want to hear some solid arrangements of Bob Dylan classics sang by a vocally gifted ensemble of talent!

Don't see it if You are looking for a cohesive night of theatre. Nothing made sense and the direction was absent. Shame.

See it if You want to see a modern classic on Broadway. Fuller's script deserves the attention and praise. The cast is very talented to boot!

Don't see it if You want to see a "good" production of the show. Felt as though all the tension was sucked out of the piece due to the direction.

Also I'd love to see this show done with urgency or with anything that leans into the actual "murder mystery" of the story. This production ignored that HUGE party of the plot causing this relatively short play to feel like an overly lengthy slog.

Mr. Underwood handles the play comfortably, but the real stars of the show are the soldiers. Combined, their performances are deep and magnetic. Go for them... Read more Read less

Don't see it if You...um... I don’t know. Go see it.

See it if You want to support new theatre and you like new takes on current events

Don't see it if You’re wanting a spark of brilliance or true creativity. The cast is generally good but the material services no one. Fluff loses the point

See it if You want a fun evening of spectacular spectacle! Great vocal performances from Tveit, Olivo, and the ever entertaining Danny Burstein.

Don't see it if You want a moving experience or anything subtle. This show is loud and brash and is here to be a party.

Don't see it if You want to take your kids to the theatre. They might get bored

See it if you want to see an new, fully exposed, version of a show YOU THINK you know

Don't see it if experimental theatre scares you. It is VERY MUCH it's own thing

See it if You want to experience a moving and important piece of extremely personal theater.

Don't see it if you can't deal with the truth of our current situation...

Don't see it if You have something else you want to see... maybe even skip it if you DON’T have anything else to see

See it if You are a fan of Hnath and his work and style. Ms. Metcalf gives yet another praiseworthy, earth-shaking performance. See it for her.

Don't see it if You are wanting a perfect piece of theatre. It’s entertaining, yes, but the show is missing that little something. See it for the actors

See it if You want a fun and flashy night of good theatre! The cast is absolutely remarkable and the songs are legendary.

Don't see it if You are wanting anything truly new. It’s very formulaic like “Jersey Boys” but, hey, it still works. Check it out!

See it if You want to support new theatre and fresh talent. The cast is very talented.

Don't see it if You want to feel anything from your experience. It was mostly style over substance, sadly. The ending 10 minutes are the REAL play...

See it if You want a fresh new show acted by wonderful, young, fresh actors. Beautiful story and storytelling.

Don't see it if You don’t like new plays or trying anything new at all. It’s a wonderful show.

See it if You want to see a much-anticipated revival of a musical that doesn't adhere to traditional musical theatre norms with exquisite performances

Don't see it if You're looking for the kids, a "fun" evening out, or something light. This show is deceptive in how it sucks you in and makes you emotional

See it if You want a fun night of great singing! It’s a brisk bounce through history with some BANGIN pop jams and vocal performances.

Don't see it if You’re looking for anything with depth. Very surface level but it never presents itself to be anything that it’s not

Also Abby Mueller is my everything. That is all.

See it if You want to see the newest piece by Mr. Letts. Good acting all around from the ensemble.

Don't see it if You don’t like shows with twisty plots. Also, the flaw is that there is a lot of “reading statements” which is informative but boring

See it if You want to see a great new play with absolutely killer performances. The script, story, & characters are exceptional and resonant.

Don't see it if Um... probably not a kids show. But other than that I’d recommend it.

See it if You want a fun show with a great cast! Very funny and sweet!

Don't see it if You are looking for a new dramatic classic. It’s fun, but not a lot of depth.

See it if You want to prep yourself for the holidays. A spectacular production of a beloved tale! Unique in its telling and style! Wonderful!

Don't see it if You’re an unchanged Scrooge... :)

See it if You are looking for a unique theatrical experience: a new majestic modern epic. Wow!

Don't see it if You’re looking for a brief show or want to take the kids. The two parts together total about 7hrs worth of theatre

See it if you want a new, smart, dark play that challenges as well as welcomes. It's a beautifully written piece by Mr. Rapp.

Don't see it if dark/heavy subject matter is not your thing

See it if You want to see a great cast sing and act one of the best musicals ever written! Super fun and nice to see a lot of kids in the crowd!

Don't see it if You are looking for a "new" version of it. This is a big throwback to (what I imagine) the original '82 production was like.

Also Biggest let down: rough puppetry. It was a preview, yes, but... i mean... come on... Read more Read less

See it if You want to experience a fantastic new piece! Hard topics, challenging ideas, hilarious and raw approach. O'Hara+O'Harris=excellence!

Don't see it if you are offended by extreme sexual content and language. lots of racial slurs are used, too (it's basically the point)

See it if You have an affinity for LBJ and like plays that are a slice of history

Don't see it if You are looking for the same electric chemistry that “All the Way” provided. The script for this piece can’t hold a candle to the other.

Also The actors are trying their best to suck every bit of nuance they can out this aggressively flat “news article” of a script. The staging is flat and amateur-ish. It seems as though all the good ideas were used for All The Way and now Mr. Rauch has nothing left in terms of creativity.... Read more Read less

See it if You can get lucky enough to snag a ticket! And, also, if you love the movie and the community. It’s an NYC staple. So. Much. Fun.

Don't see it if ... you can’t? I mean, if you can you DEFINITELY should! Take the kids. Take snacks! Have a great night!

Don't see it if You’re wanting something revelatory or artistically moving. Not that kind of show

See it if you want to experience and support new musical theatre. It is a fascinating insight to a world many of us know nothing about

Don't see it if you are easily offended or if you are looking for a perfectly polished product. most of the second half of the show seemed to lose the point

See it if You are wanting a night of excellence. Top tier performances from top tier performers. See it!

Don't see it if You want to take your children to a show. Lots of nudity, sexual content, language and other things kids won’t understand.

See it if You want a fun & fluffy evening of dark humor and “eye-candy” design elements!

Don't see it if Dirty humor isn’t your thing. Also, the show is fun but not perfect. Act 2 kind of trails off on its way to hell

See it if you want to check out what is BOUND to be a musical sensation. The best new musical of the season!

Don't see it if You don't like unconventional theater or musicals...or mythology

See it if you want a fun fresh evening for kids and adults

Don't see it if you don't know the difference between a noun and a verb

See it if You want to see Adam Driver at his best. He brings so much energy it almost sets the theatre on fire.

Don't see it if You want a musical, a show for the kids, or light theater. Funny, yes, but also heavy themes and strong language.

See it if You want to see a master of comedy, Mr, Lane, own the stage for 90 minutes

Don't see it if You are easily offended or you are looking for anything deep. The show rests in low humor (fart and penis jokes) and there is no real point.

See it if You want a new show with a talented young fresh cast. Quirky and fun!

Don't see it if You want to be moved or are looking for a serious outing. This is NOT that kind of show.

See it if You want to see a classic musical re-staged with high class talent. The singing and dancing is top notch

Don't see it if You are looking for a brief evening of theatre.

See it if You want to experience everything Sondheim on a NYC stage. They have present a solid/new take on an ultimately flawed show.

Don't see it if Musicals annoying you or you need a hummable melody ;)

See it if You are looking for a fun evening of theatre with a great message. Brooks Ashmanskas is gold!

Don't see it if You are looking for something deep and moving. Very mucha fluff piece.

Also While still performed well by all the show remains completely predictable. And even though Christopher Sieber and the cast perform their hearts out on “Love Thy Neighbor” it is still the LOW moment of the show.... Read more Read less
