Don't see it if confusing to follow

See it if You want to support A diverse, talented cast on stage

Don't see it if Creatively unsatisfying, a dated story that aims to whitewash history, some cringey choices

Don't see it if you're interested in a quiet, solemn theater experience; don't like vignettes/sketches.

See it if a night of fine acting;

Don't see it if show can be a bit hard to follow in the beginning, I zoned out more than once

See it if fantastic acting; you're interested in a difficult and challenging story that aims to make you sympathize with truly horrible people

Don't see it if you're sensitive to very bold discussion about sexual violence against children

Also I think this was ultimately a very effective play, with some of the best acting on stage right now and really strong writing. But I feel a great deal of moral apprehension over how the 'victim' character is portrayed here, and the way his narrative is cast into question and the implications that has for all victims.... Read more Read less

See it if you like horror; you enjoy slightly wacky, unpredictable theater; you have an open mind; great actin

Don't see it if you dislike ambiguity in storytelling, contemplations about domestic violence, sex work.

Also this didn't entirely work for me, with some moments dragging even with a short 75 minute run time, but I kind of loved the last 10 minutes.... Read more Read less

Don't see it if thin plot, doesn't replicate the magic they found off bway at ars nova while in an immersive environment

See it if a wonderful rendition of an american classic with great acting and interesting directing choices

See it if a fun night in celebration of rock music, beautifully sung.

Don't see it if you're looking for a story with a lot of depth

Also the projection work was really stunning and worth the price of entry

See it if Great actors who are pouring their heart and soul on stage

Don't see it if I can’t recommend this to anyone

Also I really disliked everything about this, aside from the great performers who did their best with the material. The music was bland and not memorable, the stories were often meandering. And just so many different kinds of racism?? This show attempts to “tackle” racism and show some kind of affinity between Liliana and the various Mexican characters she encounters but sheeeeeeesh. From the woman she smuggles across the border (a kind docile woman who smiles at her as she’s being put in the trunk of her car) to the 18 year old she decides to seduce (she thrives on the “danger” of being with him when suddenly his “world” starts feeling too real for him).... Read more Read less

Don't see it if tbh can't think of any

See it if killer acting, an interesting (if not fully ambitious) restaging of a classic sondheim show

Don't see it if you're expecting a 'being alive' in full belt. katrina lenk is a fantastic actress but this score is maybe not her strong suit.

See it if you want to see a well done social satire on stage; great music and a thrilling performance from tamika lawrence and brandon victor dixon

Don't see it if you want a short tight show - this runs a little long with songs that could definitely be cut. deals with sensitive race issues, profanity

See it if you're interested in seeing modern opera with a strong story and a great cast

See it if you like seeing interconnected plays; you really want bang for you buck (2 full plays for the cost of one); great acting

Don't see it if you don't enjoy a long evening of theater; you're not interested in themes of war and trauma

Also they have some work to do to trim and refine this piece, but all in all I found this to be a fun night of theater. I preferred the 2nd play and it's a shame so many people left during intermission and missed it, though I can't say I blame them. Patrice Johnson Chevannes played Abasiama beautifully across these two plays and I marveled at her transformation in In Old Age... Read more Read less
