See it if You like clever, well written shows that make you feel the feels

Don't see it if You don’t like seeing shows about political events

See it if You enjoy slapstick humor and have a good sense of humor.

Don't see it if Silly slapstick humor isn't your thing or things going wrong in a show (even if it's supposed to) would make you angry.

See it if You enjoy seeing shows that are not traditional and appeal to younger audiences.

Don't see it if You're more into classics/more traditional shows or don't like shows about high school.

Also I found it to be a little *too* young and unrelatable - and I'm not even that old (mid 20s!)... Read more Read less

See it if You like improv and musicals & want a good laugh.

Don't see it if You want an elaborate show with scripted scenes. Also if you're offended by crude humor and swearing.

Also The show was great and hilarious. The ONLY thing that would stop me from going back and seeing it again is the fact that it's at 10:30 pm on a weekday. Not super accessible for me (and I think a lot of other people as well) and I have work in the morning the next day!... Read more Read less

See it if You love the original Anastasia and are up for some nostalgia

Don't see it if You are tied to it being the same as the original. Also if you don't like use of a screen on stage for effects

Also I think the new numbers were mostly lacking and the new villain, Gleb, or whatever, fell kind of flat. The second act was definitely way better than the first, and there was a phenomenal ballet scene. Also, the Lily character kind of stole the show, IMO.... Read more Read less

See it if You like seeing something hilarious and something deep in the same show. Also if you like shows that break the 4th wall.

Don't see it if You don't like non-traditional shows, are conservative and get offended by liberal views (gets political), don't like immersive shows.

Also The only reason I didn't give it 100 was because it was a nightmare getting everyone lined up and seated before the show. Very confusing and unclear communication.... Read more Read less

See it if You enjoy little known Sondheim musicals

Don't see it if You're expecting mainstream well known songs from Sondheim

See it if you're not looking to see a traditional play and are mostly going for the experience of being in what's essentially a themed bar.

Don't see it if You are expecting to see an actual performance.

Also The mini performances are somewhat lacking. The atmosphere was cool and if you don't mind spending an obscene amount of money on alcohol it could be fun just to be in the environment. Definitely don't go alone because you'll be bored if you do.... Read more Read less
