See it if you like spending time with spoiled, rich, pretentious, narcissistic people who occasionally say something witty. Beautifully appointed set

Don't see it if Few laughs or clever lines--rambling with no clear purpose or reason to be. Frank Wood is the only one that might make you feel or care.

See it if For something different-- not really a play or a musical. Good music and vivid story telling.

Don't see it if Not really enough. Although short at 60 minutes, it feel substantial but needed more.

See it if Interesting characters, broad comedy, serious themes all make for a enjoyable time.

Don't see it if Comedic plot and heavy drama are a little exaggerated and uneasily balanced back and forth. Miss much dialogue with the accents and slang.

See it if You're curious about lesser know pieces by these authors. Philosophical elegant writing.

Don't see it if Very slow and uneventful. Not a lot of depth or plot.

See it if You love theater and the current state of it deserves to be dissected. The cast does remarkable and spot on imitations of iconic actors.

Don't see it if you think musicals have no place in the human experience. Even if you're not up on theater, can't imagine anyone not having a good time.

See it if For younger people who might think it's clever. Extravagant production. Many excellent actors who knock the numbers out of the park.

Don't see it if Doesn't make much sense, kind of boring and shrill but 2nd half picks up. Like "Be More Chill" but totally lacking heart.

See it if A laugh out loud funny perfectly performed delight. Perceptively explores family dynamics and inability to express true feelings

Don't see it if Has a nasty edge. A little slow by today's comedy standards.

See it if Classic, old style farce with some social wit and feel good romance. A rather clever social satire. Bright, sumptuous production.

Don't see it if Actors are pretty funny but wonder if others might be better. Plot twists leading to the inevitable conclusion go on too long.

Don't see it if Writing is too sprawling and ordinary to be continuing compelling and it's overly long at 3 hours.

See it if Excellent music and sophisticated lyrics. Artful staging and often intense.

Don't see it if Static song cycle with over-produced intense choreography.

Don't see it if You're not willing to go with the absurdities and have a good time.

See it if You like pure spectacle, dazzling scenic design, lighting and costumes. It's quite beautiful but the melodramatic story bogs it down.

Don't see it if Characters are a little steriotypical (not for me), gets a little less good as goes along because it tried to do so much.

See it if you're a fan of the sentimental book which was much more absorbing. Excellent singers but bland, static production.

Don't see it if you like catchy music of a uniform style. Predictable and hokey plot.

Don't see it if You've seen a really great production of it. Can appear rather melodramatic and supporting parts can be cartoonish.

Don't see it if It still comes across as dated despite the unnecessary updates. 1999 production didn't and was more dazzling.

See it if Some excellent hits and stupendous singing of the lead (saw the alternate who does matinees). Good attempt to tell a full story.

Don't see it if However, too much book and songs got truncated and rarely took off. Should have just let the music and the performers dazzle us more often

Don't see it if Almost too much music (songs get abruptly cut off and more than one sliced together) and too much plot (many events that don't develop drama

Don't see it if You can't concentrate for 3 hours and are truly simple headed.

See it if You've never seen it or don't know about the real incident. Overwhelming amount of material for one actor. Good writing that shouldresonat

Don't see it if Actor doesn't have enough variety in his characterizations to keep it interesting. Kind of flat and monotonous overall.
