See it if You will be intellectually engaged throughout 90% of the show. There are a few “I never thought of it that way” moments

Don't see it if You can’t process speech at a rapid rate

See it if You are a Stockard Channing fan, you won’t be disappointed. Plus, I love this theater; it’s so comfortable.

Don't see it if You don’t have patience enough to get through a highly dramatic, unresolved and long first act. The play really doesn’t come together until

Also The last 5 minutes. Its something of an endurance run.

See it if You like silly programs.

Don't see it if Like me you don’t have much tolerance for silly

See it if The title of the finale song “See Things As They Are” seemed ironic. This is a black, feminist statement as well as a call to arms

Don't see it if You have strong opinions against crossdressing.

Also regarding the current political climate. Original songs that are intermixed with monologue are good. The show itself felt contrived.... Read more Read less

See it if I loved the first act but then...audience gimmick that I thought would be enployed during the benefit picnic to elicite audience participati

Don't see it if You are an Oklahoma purist

Also Was just a gimmick for intermission. The performance that stood in for the second act ballet was very disappointing, disjoint and did not further the story line. THe ending was head scratching. Did Julie lead Jud on? Was Jud killed in cold blood? Staging was great. Direction needed help.... Read more Read less

See it if Taut, well-written and well-acted one-act drama about a young irishman turned WWI soldier. Shane O’Regan is a superstar.

Don't see it if The only reason not to see this show is if you can’t sit still for 80 minutes.

See it if You are a bona fide Bruce fan

Don't see it if You’re expecting a rock concert of Bruce’s greatest hits.

See it if should you ever have the opportunity, catch this show. This version was edited for concert presentation. I’m dying to see the whole thing

Don't see it if There is absolutely no reason why anyone should miss this. PG langauge throughout. Uplifting. Hopeful.

Also and completely staged.

See it if You are looking for unexpected sources for musicals. Emerging art that is worth supporting.

Don't see it if You’re expecting perfection

See it if you’ve never been to a Broadway musical before and have absolutely zero expectations.

Don't see it if translating the GoGo’s music to production numbers was a serious error in judgment. The book is awful, predictable, dull, banal. I was so

Also disappointed.

See it if you support developing artistry. This could be a tight, moving one-woman show with some work. It’s mono-pacing is often too slow.

Don't see it if you have no grasp of Manchester, UK accent or slang you will suffer.

Also The beginning and end must be more tightly integrated; right now they are just “there”. Very promising work.... Read more Read less

See it if You are a Renee Fleming or Amar Ramasar fan; you will not be disappointed. I could not take my eyes off of Ramasar during Justin Peck’s

Don't see it if There is no reason not to see this show. It is the best production I’ve ever seen of Carousel.

Also Choreography of “Blow High Blow Low”. Lindsay Mendez’s (Carrie Pipperridge) rendition of “When I Marry Mr. Snow” was stellar. I would watch this production again in a heartbeat.... Read more Read less

See it if You like thought-provoking, well written theater.

Don't see it if If you want fluffy entertainment

See it if Going from one extreme of the fertility/parenting question to the other in a fish bowl

Don't see it if You cannot tolerate the far fetched.

Also Illogically and quite breathtakingly, the same character moves between two extremes: moving from free love and finding children abhorent to having a psychotic breakdown because conception is impossible. The staging is quite amazing. The acting is excellent.... Read more Read less

See it if Heartwarming story about how the worst tragedy can transform life in microscopic and magnificent ways.

Don't see it if You only like fluffy, mindless entertainment.

Also Restores your faith in people during the “age of Trump”. The ensemble acting is amazing. On top of that it was fascinating to watch the same actors assume one or more roles. Just outstanding craftsmanship. I’m also happy to see a musical that is not based on a movie.... Read more Read less

See it if My first experience with Mint Theater Co. I appreciate that this play was extremely provocative in its day. Today, it’s predictable

Don't see it if You don’t like revivals.

Also Extremely well acted and set design was amazing. I’m not sure I would go running back to another Mint Theater production. It absolutely had to be presented as a period drama; otherwise, it would have been ridiculous... Read more Read less

See it if You are looking for intelligent, well-written drama. The first act is especially riviting. Must see.

Don't see it if If you don’t enjoy political “who done its?”

See it if Very, very well written. A gem.

Don't see it if If you don’t like introspective, one-man shows.

See it if A total romp. I had never seen sponge Bob before, nor did I have any desire; so clearly I am not of his generation. I took my goddaughter

Don't see it if I cannot think of any reason why you wouldn’t want to see this show.

Also It was delightful from start to finish.

See it if Sista’s are doin it for themselves! Worth the evening of light entertainment.

Don't see it if Don’t see this if you are a male chauvinist.

See it if Clever, clever, clever, current and throughly entertaining.

Don't see it if If your not a fan a hip hop this could drive you a little crazy

See it if Great dancing. Quite a lot of fun and entertaining. More along that lines of a musical with a thin story line but it keeps entertaining

Don't see it if If you don’t like variety shows, skip this one.

See it if I’m so glad Once on this Island was revived. It got very short shift on it’s maiden voyage. It is just delightful

Don't see it if I cannot think of a reason why you should not spend your well earned dollars to see this show. You won’t be disappointed.

See it if Phantom of the Opera is my guilty pleasure. I’ve seen it once in the U.K. And four times (so far) in NYC.

Don't see it if Those jaded with the spectacular, scenic musicals should probably pass on this show.

See it if Timely, relevant theater. I enjoyed this show

Don't see it if U have issues either same sex relationships.

See it if Elaine May has to get a tony for this performance. It may be the best performance I will see in my lifetime. The rest of the acting, espec

Don't see it if If you are currently loving someone who has altzheimer’s or dementia this might hit too close to home. My mom demented just before she

Also Joan Allen was stellar.

Passed last May. Some of Elaine Mays behaviors and comments so reminded me of my mom then. Fortunately, I had a brother to help me and much of what my mom did was delightful and funny.... Read more Read less

See it if It deserves the nobel prize for drama. Excellent acting.

Don't see it if The pacing of the show was slow and definetely akward more than once. What in heaven’s name was that wall hanging in Russian for?

See it if Taut, well-acted, well-staged, well-directed contemporary drama. We kept discussing the play all afternoon; that seldom happens.

Don't see it if I cannot think of any reason not to see this play.

See it if Clear-headed, well-researched feminist review of our most important document, made relevant through personal accounts.

Don't see it if you are a knee-jerk anti-feminist

Also The structure of the performance is very unique. You’re never quite certain which parts are scripted and which are improvisational. I think the “audience member” is a plant. My absolute favorite part was her inclusion of young female debaters.... Read more Read less

See it if Well acted, well produced and very well written historical fiction. Staging kept the story line moving. Janet McTeer was outstanding

Don't see it if you don’t like historical fiction.

See it if Great acting especially Adina Verson. Creative staging.

Don't see it if I am not a fan of writers like Dave Eggers; all the added parenthetical comments, and everyday innane conversations. Ms. Silverman adopts

Also This style.

See it if Well written play about female warriors reaction to French colonization in Africa. I went in thinking I was going to be unimpressed but the

Don't see it if unfortunately, the stage/theater did not support the production. Many lines were swallowed up and unintelligible.

Also play kept my attention for 2 solid hours.

See it if Fun, fun, fun. You leave the theater singing. Speaking in rhyming couplets never becomes boring, predictable or overdone. The songs

Don't see it if You are some sort of shakespaeare purist.

Also Follow tradition “musical” format and are quite well done.

See it if you enjoy plays that voice women’s issues and emotions. Well- written, well-acted, taut, one-act play.

Don't see it if There is no reason not to see this play

See it if You like taught, well-written, rapid-fire satire. Joshua Harmon has done it again. The acting is superb, especially Idina Menzel.

Don't see it if There is absolutely no reason not to see this play.

See it if You are a conspiracy theorist of any sort.

Don't see it if You dislike melodrama. It was very difficult to sit through the first 30 min. You literally had to walk along the stage if you wanted to

Also Leave. Therefore, I stayed. The middle 30 minutes moved to human drama rather than political drama and I was able to stay awake or not resort to meditation. The ending was preposterous. Acting was good but do not waste your time.... Read more Read less

See it if You can sit through the rather excruciating first act and the high-school theater acting. The second act, especially the prologue will pay

Don't see it if You haven’t got a lot of patience

Also I wanted so badly to love Condola Rashad but her continual display of religious rapture as wide-eyed (granted her eyes are naturally large and beautiful) blank stare with a beautific smile, even when she was supposed to be overwhelmed by tears, was grating.... Read more Read less

See it if You have a really intelligent 5-year-old to entertain. The actors are good but they pander.

Don't see it if You have a very low tolerance for silliness.

Also It feels like a once excellent comedy routine that has been done and remodeled and remodeled yet again.... Read more Read less

See it if You enjoy retrospecitives on musicians or bands/groups. King’s music is iconic so it’s hard not to be entertained. Plot is predictable.

Don't see it if You didn’t enjoy the Buddy Holly Story or Mamma Mia

See it if Thoughtful, humane drama about our responsibility as elders toward “children” of our world not just our families. Who should clean up?

Don't see it if You don’t like social-thought dramas

See it if Not as good as Freak but that’s a high bar. I admire how he keeps the dialogue current. I really enjoyed the political nature of this prog

Don't see it if You are an entrenched right winger. Or if you have not liked any other of John Leguizamo’s shows.

See it if My favorite part was about the Hollywood Canteen and the character’s role there. I liked how she entwined cinema history with the story

Don't see it if The story line needs to be tightened. I didn’t really connect to why the character might be depressed enough to commit suicide.

See it if If you have to get out of the rain.

Don't see it if Do not see this if you have two neurons to rub together.

See it if Very creative and entertaining theater. This should be on your “must see” list.

Don't see it if If you are offended by sexual context or “off color” remarks, think twice.

See it if If you enjoy making interpretations between theater and opera productions.

Don't see it if I feel this is another production that should not have been revived.

See it if If you are in love with the poems and can manage a musical adaptation of them.

Don't see it if It was a clever concept but too disjoint and long.

See it if If you are of the Vietnam era, this show will resonate with you.

Don't see it if Some shows should not be revived.

See it if Julie Taymore never ceases to impress me. She has truely outdone herself in The Lion King. The puppetry is mind boggling.

Don't see it if The only reason you wouldn’t want to see this show is if you are some sort of a humbug.
