See it if I'm a cinephile so I'm used 2what this play's doing. In France, this is a "button-pusher, & the Audience is a TARGET not a friend. Ouchie!!!

Don't see it if Skip if U want to be politely entertained. Each scene is like a punch in the face, & if U can't take a punch then don't go. NOT 4the timid!!

See it if Something about the turn-of-the-century writers of Old makes their work so Special, so important, no matter how low the budget. Words-work!!

Don't see it if Don't see if U have a happy marriage, cause the two main characters of this play LOATHE each other to the point of hilarity. Sarcasm 101!!!

See it if Front door person nearly ended my chance to see the show due to VERY strict Covid guideline -infection rate is nearly under 1% but NOT HERE?

Don't see it if Don't go if U don't have BOOSTER proof, I literally had to run to a walk-in clinic & get boosted to get IN? WTF? Fans of Irish rep ONLY!

See it if I was watchin this man talk about closets & I immediately thought of Marie Kondo. This show could be a musical WITH ACTORS (not him or her)

Don't see it if Bad acting by a millionaire who can play SOME songs but mostly likes to talk about his odd but somewhat interesting life as accountant-CEO??

See it if Any1 remember those Irish kitchen-sink melodramas that were popular in the 2000s. Well this 1 is a throwback. So get out yer Irish 101 notes

Don't see it if Don't go to see this show if U R sensitive to the COLD, cause there was NO HEAT the night I went. Brutally cold even with a jacket on. WTF??

See it if If U like sitting in a theater full of mostly unvaxxed kids then anything from Disney will please. All the elements of the movie but LIVE!!!

Don't see it if If U R still Covid paranoid then maybe stick to the adult shows for awhile. Kids are scary, masks fall down and parents don't seem to care?

See it if I think this casting indicates what is a major problem w/ this show & Y they cast black for Jewish. Cause like Whoopi Goldberg, they're dumb

Don't see it if Don't see if you are Jewish unless you want to be infuriated.

See it if See if I sum this up using MJ song titles: "Wanna Be Startin Somethin" "Workin' Day and Night" "BAD" "U Can't Win" "Tabloid Junkie" "2 Bad."

Don't see it if If U like MJ's MUSiC go, get drunk, dance in your seat, annoy every1 around U that did not drink b4 entering the theater. Ignore them & plot

Also Other songs (LOTS):
ABC
Beat It
Billie Jean
Black or White
Blame it on the Boogie
Can You Feel It
Climb Ev'ry Mountain
Dancing Machine
Dancing Machine
Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough

Human Nature
I Can't Help It
I Want You Back

See it if Gallery Players presents the world premiere of FUGITIVE COLORS, a new play by Barbara Vanosky Anderson IN PARK SLOPE, BK. Not based on book?

Don't see it if Don't go if U R not of age unless U R interested in Senior Citizen issues. Like similar fare, the comedy veers from hilarious to bittersweet

See it if OMG, the Catholic Church is takin a hit this year. From the Roxy's "Nun-sploitation" movie fest 2 the BENEDETTA lesbian-plague & NOW THIS!!!

Don't see it if Don't go if U R Catholic, or at least a lapsed 1. Leave yer Priest at home. Cast of 4 does an amazing job but this ain't NUNSENSE. 2-long-2!

See it if GO NOW!! Or regret not going later!! Believe me, this guy is John Leguizamo-going on-Denzel Washington level talent. Whoever found him, GBU

Don't see it if If U don't like continually intense storytelling with NO BREAKS! 90 min, no intermission, but halfway thru U find yourself catching breaths!

Also Transitions pleez! Intermission PLEEZ! I needed to catch my breath. I needed to go out and drink a beer or smoke a joint. There were some INTENSE episodes right from the get-go. Gangs-to-the-Marines, what a splendid way to end the redneck problems in this country. Put the gangs with the redneck Southerners TOGETHER in the Marine corps HOO-RAH!! Lotsa Spanish slang, pleez Use that empty back wall of the stage to flash some English definitions for the grannies & me who don't know, or were never WOKE! What a talent this guy is, what a life if he lived. Who needs Juilliard when you've done life-&-death furreals in the hood. Who needs improv when U have to talk your way our of life & death Cop & thug situations constantly. This is the stuff of DRAMA of the epic variety way beyond the imagination of yer avg. white playwright. GO NOW STOP READING JUST GET YOUR TICKETS RIGHT THE F NOW! Leave the kids at home, this is adult viewing only! Too intense for kids, they don't need to know this exists... Read more Read less

See it if The so-called STAR (from WICKED) was OUT for the matinee, but her understudy was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO good I soon 4got whatshername was not IN.

Don't see it if Don't C if U don't understand turn-of-the-century melodrama rules. Audience participation (like hissing the villain) makes it FUN if U do IT

See it if How is THIS not on Bway. Seriously, w/ shows closing right-&-left & these brave souls OPEN NOW? 1st-rate cast & direction script-cuts NEXT??

Don't see it if If U like yer plays w/ no intermission & under 90 min then U came to the wrong show. Lehman Trilogy covered 150 yrs but this show's overlong

See it if FOUR actors. ALL very very good. I wasn't sure about the script at first but it had me gripped by the end of the show. Ms. Rashad is a gem!!

Don't see it if Don't go if U R a white supremacist, Y would year care about Detroit factory workers in the 1st place. Don't go if U like large casts, only4

See it if If U grew up in the 80's practically everything comin out of the radio back then gets a spotlight here. Plot is negligible, but show ROCKS!!

Don't see it if If U didn't like RENT this will be too loud for U. Also, the audience tends 2be mostly drunk millennials so if U don't drink, Y come 2this??

See it if WIth dozens of actors, FIRE onstage, etc. the former home of the infamous "Spider-Man" musical is once again biting off 2much 4 a "play"??

Don't see it if Don't C if you've NEVER seen an HP movie or read a book by the author. If U do go, get a mezz, loge, seat NOT orchestra. There's turntables!

See it if No open bars, pity. Get your high b4 reaching the theater since they have left the aud unhigh & dry. Otherwise the funniest work of Art EVER

Don't see it if Don't see if U hate BEAUTIFUL scenery, gorgeous costumes, tapdancing, actors named Yazbeck or CARMEN CUSACK!! Yes, if Art & Acid appals dont

See it if On stage a play's dominated by the metaphor that is the set, but in films the actors take precedence & this is a duo 4the ages: Denzel/Viola

Don't see it if I guess if U R a racist U should stay away from all-black-cast plays. Y watch a show that will make U uncomfortable? No lynchin's here massa

See it if The show that put Puerto Rican culture back on the map, especially non-gang life (re: West Side Story). Lots of great music for BOTH genders

Don't see it if Don't see if U R a Lin Manuel hater (& U know who U R). If you don't like songs featuring women doing beauty salon-ing or non-white peeps??

See it if Perfect pairing of the Ultimate theater geek (at the piano) with the ultimate DIVA (in fine form). Y R READING this?? GET OUR TIX NOW!!!!!!!

Don't see it if Well if U don't like Patti, her politics, or her singing style then Y R checking it out? And if U don't like Sondheim then click NEXT!!

See it if Is there sex during a Pandemic? Prolly not much, but this show is a great placebo for sex-starved folks. Look at Candace Bushnell's legs too

Don't see it if Don't go if U hate FUN. Especially don't go if U R expecting man-hater insults & sarcasm cause this Lady is a true lady & treats lovers well

See it if So here's what happens a show becomes a HIT in a small theater & the run sells out. U end up streaming it. Which isn't all bad, but the NRG?

Don't see it if Don't watch if U hate family-oriented comedy. I prefer wife-vs-hubby banter like MRS DOUBTFIRE, so the fam thing eludes me. NYC apt gags too

See it if 1st off, IF U R a billionaire interested in supporting the Arts, ADD the Keen co. 2your LIST. THEY R thinking outside of the BOX post-Pandem

Don't see it if Don't go if U can't stand the idea of a watching a show WITH YOUR EARS. Yes, U have 2put on your listening ears & USE your imagination. Ouch

See it if THIS ENDS DEC. 11th, GO NOW!!! PACK THE PLACE cause this show needs 2b EXTENDED STAT!! Grab your nearest teacher friend & take them 2 it 2!!

Don't see it if Don't C if U find dealing w/ "active shooters" on school campuses too disturbing. Def don't GO if U don't like having your MIND BLOWN!!!!!

See it if Ever heard the phrase, there R 2 sides 2 every story: This was my 2nd time visiting the show, but I was denied entrance because I complained

Don't see it if B4 the show I told the bldg mge it was my 4th time at the venue & I had bad knees & called her on the lack of working escalators (Where ...

Also ... did the Save-Our-Stages thousands of grant money dollars go?? Into her pocket. She told me to shut up & I left her office only to find out she called security to make sure I did not enter the venue to pick up my Showscore tix. I was fuming when I was denied entrance & THEN she left her office to personally tell me off. I lost it at that point & called her ugly names AND LEFT peacefully. I don't know if she called the NYPO after that but I got in line for Tick Tick BOOM down the street and 4got about her. But she wasn't done with me, she called Showscore to make sure I received no more tickets FREE. SO I PAID FULL PRICE 2c the restoration comedy THE ALCHEMIST & tho I do not care for Ben Jonson (a poor man's Shakespeare) I did highly enjoy the cast, especially the gall playing Doll Tearsheet. I recognized some other actors from prior comedies Off-Bway and they managed to spit out BJ's horrible semi-verse dialogue and added some physical comedy that made it a palatable comic nite!... Read more Read less

See it if R U a producer of Art? Then U know how hard it is 2get a stage in the Village & even Playbills 4yer show. But 4 the idle rich it's a snap!

Don't see it if If U want 2c an actor-writer-radio personality speak w/o a mike & w/o a trained voice then this is your show. All others stay far far away.

See it if Some peeps R sayin this is SO BAD it's GOOD? I think the early scenes R best w/ a newbie in among the Royals. As time passes tragedy follows

Don't see it if GO SEE the movie SPENCER with Kristin Stewart which says it ALL (w/o singing). THEN stream the musical. And then, if U R still satisfied, GO

See it if This could be the very LAST TIME U get 2C these performers on stage. See them now or read their obits later. Give them a reason 2get UP&LIVE

Don't see it if If U don't like family rivalries and betrayals, then steer clear. Prefer old actors in the old actors HOME and not on a stage. Prefer YOUNG?

See it if For Bob Dylan fans who R tired of goin to BDconcerts where he mumbles the words. Now the lyrics R intelligible though your mileage may vary?

Don't see it if Hate Dylan music, Y even consider it. If U LOVE his songs and hate new arrangements of his music.

See it if The Public always succeeds with Shakespeare's comedies and every1 rises to the occasion. Wonderful perfs.Also features Brian Stokes Mitchell

Don't see it if As good as Outdoor theater gets in NYC. Every summer more theater history is born. Don't like bugs & the theat of RAIN, then stay the F away

See it if 08/09/2006. A date written on my heart. My 1st or 2nd time seeing Meryl Streep on stage in an unforgettable role. Brilliant performance.

Don't see it if Outdoor theater means the audience is continually under threat from bugs & possible rain (plus Wind). Say prayers or light candles b4 ticket

Also I could lavish more praise and maybe someday when I actually have the time, I will do so ... one note: Kevin Kline also appeared in the show as 'Cook'. As for Meryl, this was her 9th show for the Public (at the time). She would be back for more!... Read more Read less

See it if What can Bsaid about the musical that made DIVERSITY real on the Bway. Black actors playing historical figures instead of the usual whites!

Don't see it if If U R racist or a Trumper stay the away from this one. If U R a member of the Royal Family U should kno that 1 of yer ancestors is villain?

See it if Only Uzo's 2nd show on the Bway is further evidence of Bway racism. THIS WOMAN was BORN for the stage. Her cleavage (I sat in the 3rd row)

Don't see it if ... nearly knocked my MASK off!! I could not take my eyes off UZO! Don't C if U don't sandwich-fetishism. Ron Cephas underused.

Also At an UMO-free preview the Standby was at a loss. UZO ADUBA however is NOT 2 B missed!! Obviously the Bway thinks her talents don't add up BUT oversized & sassy WORK on stage, idiots! Y was she never in WAITRESS? Also, idiot producer's have changed the orig. title of the play from FLOYD's to "Clyde's" so as not to upset ... WHO? Black folks can't afford the Bway so they ain't comin 2 protest #BLM & rich people only pay attn to Billionaire news so Mr. Floyd's name is a non-issue. These PRODUCERS R IDIOTS. Uzo's understudy has minimal stage experience AND IT SHOWS. She doesn't enunciate or bounce consonants off the back wall (Acting 101). Play should've split the setting btwn kitchen & hostess stand where UZO & guests would dbl the cast & the laffs. Kitchen-sink comedy ain't enuf & the leads R minimized tho they SHINE when they each hit the stage (sometimes together). Postpone the show, put the Great "Letters from Sureya" IN. Make audiences happy & let this show be re-written 4 UZO-4eva... Read more Read less

See it if OMG!! What "Chicken&Biscuits" is to Black Comedy "Sherlock Carol" is to British comedy. I'm sure Charles Dickens is rolling in his grave ...

Don't see it if ... from LAUGHTER!!! Go C-this NOW b4 the Big Newspaper reviews send ALL the doubters to the BO 2buy up ALL THE SEATS the #am after it opens

Also My only critique is that the show runs 100 min PLUS an intermission. DON'T keep the intermission producers, CUT IT and make a NO INTERMISSION comedy dream that will have REAL CRITICS laughing all the way to their keyboards [this was a preview/Show opens in a week or so]... Read more Read less

See it if The pairing of Keating & Higgins is inspired, but the director fails to bring the two character actors to the next level. Script needs STARS

Don't see it if Don't go if U hate Irish slang and wish the Rep would've installed a supertitles projector instead of all the other weird SFX visuals 4 show

See it if IF U R A TRUMPER, this theater company is with U. NO MASKS on any1 in the theater unless they choose (on their own) to wear 1. Y's this AEA?

Don't see it if UNBELIEVABLE that the strictest union on Covid19 allows this show to exist under today's precautions. Shaw-lovers def DBL-MASK it! Closing??

Also THIS SHOW SHOULD BE CLOSED immediately and the Gingold Theatricals mgmt should be put on NOTICE: #winteriscomingaholes The Pandemic is not over, last winter we went back on full lockdown when the freezing weather forced people in doors in CLUMPS and transferred the variants with ease to each other. MASKS R the last defense, even fully vaxxed countries like Australia are getting thousands of new cases per day. If U like getting sick then go outside and take deep breaths, but INDOORS put yer frickin MASKS ON... Read more Read less

See it if Wonderful game supporting cast being undermined by LEAD perf who is no longer stage-ready. His Tony credit is bogus, bit part IN Tony-winner

Don't see it if Don't see if U R a FAN of Andrew Cuomo or illegal imprisonment-COMEDIES. Producers avoid THUG retaliation by keeping it light & funny. WRONG

See it if Bar is CLOSED at this theater AND it's a comedy, but the audience still LAFFED hysterically. MUST-C for theater lovers who like rehearsals!!

Don't see it if Don't go if U hate backstage stories. Especially avoid if U hate laffing audiences & find constant laughter irritating. PLUS Lachanze SINGS!

See it if Started great until the plant was revealed to be SPOILER ALERT a femme. NOT a good choice by the director. Y not a butch female dentist, eh?

Don't see it if I can't believe the still-living owners of this material allowed it 2b so badly mistreated by gender reorientation. How bout a 3-dude chorus

See it if Show-Score lists an older prod. of this show but NOT the current 1 at A.R.T. theater on the West Side of Manhattan running thru Nov. 20th

Don't see it if Excellent cast of disabled men & women (mainly gawjus ladies) has been mistakenly directed to "ACT" agit-prop material from Brecht. WTF??

See it if Robin Williams would be 70 yrs old this Fall, & even tho he would be too old to play the role he would LUV-LUV-LUV seeing Rob McClure's perf

Don't see it if Don't go if U don't laff at physical humor or have no sense of humor whatsoever. Just stay away, this cast feeds on laffs like lions on meat

Also I haven't laffed this hard at a preview since HAIRSPRAY the Musical. I mean OMG, what a great cast, what a great leading man, and WHAT A VILLAIN. Jenn Gambatese had me hating/loving the perturbed wifey more than Darth Vader at his worst. Rob McClure shows he's Tony nominee material and possibly the reincarnation of Jerry Lewis. It's been 8 yrs since his 1st Tony nom in CHAPLIN and now I'm voting this perf for Tony nom #2. What a brilliant comic perf that is also touching without becoming maudlin. The 1st act people were laffing a bit here & there because this is a show where the audience has more knowledge of the goings on than the other characters in the play. This makes for frequent funny moments & ironies that probably wouldn't be understood by kid audiences. In fact, I would say leave the kids at home w/ a babysitter & make this a couple's night out! You will never laff so much again in your life!! I did think some of the ballads slowed the funny, they need FUNNY songs or cut them... Read more Read less

See it if I originally bought tickets of a $99 seat at the Hudson theater. THEN the producers got greedy & decided to make MORE MONEY in a BARN!!

Don't see it if They transfer'd the show from the Hudson to The St. James BUT had NO IDEA how to transfer the tix. I had paid $99 & they offered $69 xchange

See it if The writer Wallace Shawn is a genius, but this time he hides his message in a dense script that is less a story than a message 2the POOR.

Don't see it if Don't see if U R wealthy or a billionaire, because this subversive script is encouraging the Poor to rise up & take away your riches forever

See it if IT was great to C Let's Make a Deal TV host doing Xtra long raps cause he's an Xtra guy. The human Beat box & solo fem-singer added to show.

Don't see it if Don't see if U don't like being "tricked" into believing these are actual TEN MINUTE LONG raps that haven't been rehearsed a million times??

See it if Sorkin's adaptation really tries-2 close the gap btwn racism then & now. AND, pretty much nails it on the head. Jeff Daniels was born-4-this

Don't see it if I think 1scene could hav pumped up the action a lil more but evrythin is so good I can't complain. Bways Best USA play. Bad news-NO beer??

See it if OMG, what a nightmare, 1 guy was nice, check'd my vaccine card, THEN took my temp. THEN a granny submitted me to a quiz that is for UNvaxxed

Don't see it if Lastly, the 3rd lady had a thick KGB accent & I finally got my program & was told2 stand in A LINE OUTSIDE -Show starts 20min late -DONTGO

See it if ALL I CAN SAY IS THIS: Buy a frickin ticket in the Mezzanine or else U won't see any1 go down down down under the stage to Hadestown. Got it

Don't see it if Don't see if myths-made-real R confusin 2U. Also, there's a lot of singing, & lots of reprising of songs, so many that the Program gives UP?

See it if Main character in the show is the Narrator who intro's many others, w/ some getting more stage time than others. Harmonica & guitar enhance!

Don't see it if Not for those unfamiliar w/ the gossipy the cultural of small-town life. Drink some coffee b4 the show, the vocal tone may put U2 sleep ...

See it if Not an improv show, but one that has been done so long w/ the same people that it gives the appearance of being made up on the spot. Cheers!

Don't see it if Don't C if U don't like the F-word or being forced to shout it yerself. Not for Shakespeare purists either, the bard's words R-just-a-guide.
