See it if you love Bowie!you are a fan of Hedwig & the Angry Inch! you love being entertained - Sven is enchanging! you love PIANO - spectacular!

Don't see it if you don't like being in the basement you mind a little raunchyness

Also A fantastic opening night. Sven Ratzke channeling David Bowie accompanied by virtuoso pianist Christian Pabst. Sven is a true entertainer and storyteller and Christian's keyboards took my breath away! Christian used the piano to create mood not only with tunes, tempo and drama, but used the instrument as a drum, also reaching in to the back strings inside to create the sounds of the subway and other amazing sounds! He is phenomenal! It is obvious that Sven LOVES being an entertainer, storyteller, and singer. His voice sounds so much like Bowie's that you can close your eyes and imagine! He is in amazing shape -- not many can sport a red catsuit with high heeled rock n roll boots! Thank you for the fun. GREAT OPENING NIGHT! Royalty was all present! Fun to see!... Read more Read less

See it if You liked the original Hugh Grant version and don't mind it being messed with in a parody. Nothing like the original, though - be warned.

Don't see it if You are looking for anything that resembles the original. This is pure parody and takes off in some different directions.

Also The actors all are great, energetic with fantastic voices. This is a non stop scene flipping costume changing fast paced show. You'll get some laughs!... Read more Read less

See it if you appreciate what can be done in theater,you like to see a story unwind in true storytelling fashion with perfect costumes dancing singing

Don't see it if you are looking for a fluffy broadway musical you are looking for light & airy you can't sit through a couple of slightly too long numbers

Also I wanted to give this a 100, but for the fact that it was a little dark. Happy endings get the 100's. However this is as good as it gets. Brilliant production skills weaving a classic greek mythology story and characters with classic love and mortal themes (selling out, doubt, love, passion, greed, empathy). Spectacular costumes (no fluff or fanfare just spectacular perfect wardrobing). A cast full of energy, with the voices of angels (AND THE DEVIL). An on stage orchestra participating and introduced (thank you) in the show. The revolving stage and the hanging swinging lights created moods, time passage and scenes in such a creative and intruiging way. Mythology, Psychology, Politics, Social themes, Love, Loss, Desire, Trade-Offs, Conscience. We felt like we were part of the show we were so drawn in. At one point the silence in the show and in the theater is stunning as we wait wait wait & are part of the moment. A little dark, but not in a bad way, just like you'd expect!... Read more Read less

See it if You love Marisa Tomei. You like Tennesse Williams writing. You just want to be entertained. You like Italian accents and traditions.

Don't see it if You are expecting a classic. Its different. You mind heavy accents - some are difficult to understand. You expect passion - its fluffy.

Also Marisa Tomei was fabulous as was the rest of the cast. The hype on the show had my expectations built up too high. I was fully expecting smoldering passion, and what we saw was like teenage lust. It wa more funny than passionate. I really enjoyed the show, but had expected something more intense and meaningful. Also we had nice seats, but parts were hard to hear - like they were not loud enough combined with the very very thick italian accents. HOWEVER Marisa does a WONDERFUL job of portraying a hormonal crazy old world italian woman living in modern america. Most entertaining! I wanted to be able to rate this show a 90, but its just an 80 for me! Worthwhile but others are better.... Read more Read less

See it if you want to try to figure out the point they are getting across you like to see nice acting at Baruch college

Don't see it if you want to see something with some excitement.. this just dragged for us

Also we felt that they did not do a good job at getting their point across -- whatever they were trying to convey.... it just .. missed... Read more Read less

See it if You like to see a 2 person play You are intrigued by nudity on stage You like the actors

Don't see it if You are looking for any kind of meaningful message You are looking to CONNECT - because there really is no connection You want fast pace

Also I really wanted to and thought I'd like this show and I tried. I felt absolutely zero connection to either actor or to the show at all. I love a 1 or 2 person play, but this left me completely flat. I found the characters unbelievable and saw absolutely no connection between the two of them, and felt nothing for either character. Sorry, I tried.... Read more Read less

See it if you loved the move you love to laugh and have fun you want a big production with lots of giddyup and go!

Don't see it if you mind profanity you want something serious you're looking for something deep and thought provoking

Also This is a great production with very cleverly staging and choreography. Couldn't be cuter or more fun!... Read more Read less

See it if you like shows like the Rocky Horror Picture show which develops a cult following. you like stories about high school trials & tribulations

Don't see it if you are looking for something with depth or great music.

Also I was glad there was a closed caption screen because you can't actually make out all of the lyrics which are the best part of the show. This helped a lot being able to read some of the lyrics. I'd rate this a 60 but for the clever concept, and lyrics of the show so I gave it a 70. not unpleasant, just not worth the money. nonethless the theater was full and people cheered for certain cult following characters... Read more Read less

See it if You like an intense one person show. You want to see fantastic acting. You want to be exposed to James Joyce. You want to be taken away.

Don't see it if You don't like a little frontal nudity You are offended by a show that is sexually/sensually explicit You want something light and fluffy

Also Aeidin Moloney is masterful as Molly Bloom.She draws us in & keeps us with her for 75 straigh minutes. How she performs this monologue with an audience staring at her intensely from 3 sides of the theater is a wonder. Her performance is as much sensual as it is sexual, &is as relevant today as it was 100 years ago dealing with the ebbs & flows of relationships & life changes. I saw Aedin Moloney in James Joyce's "The Dead" at the Irish Historical Society & she was spectacular in that as well. While I did not remember her name, the moment I saw her (in the hall prior to the performance), I recognized her. She handles the partial nudity simply & naturally while standing on a pedestal for all to see. If you want to be drawn into Molly Blooms life & away from yours for 75 intense minutes, see this show. Aiden's dad musician/composer Paddy Moloney of The Chieftains complements her interpretation / soliloquoy with subdued Irish music. Aiden is spectacular.... Read more Read less

See it if you like a feel good show you like a made for broadway standard musical you want 2hear the story of gander newfoundland as it relatedto 9-11

Don't see it if you're looking for something edgy you're looking for fabulous singing and staging you have high expectations

Also I gave this a 79. Its worthwhile, but really what are all the high reviews about? I thought that it was a standard made for broadway show totally bored me. I think its worthwhile for the feel good aspect of what the town did to help so many travellers stranded during the 9-11 attacks. It was uplifting. Its also worthwhile to honor the victims and all involved with 9-11. Strickly as a broadway show I found it to be pedestrian and thoroughly standard boring fare. Due to the subject content I gave it a 79, otherwise it would be a 69-70 for me.... Read more Read less

See it if you love Arthur Miller you love GREAT Acting & don't mind minimal off broadway productions you love a great drama you want 2 be transported

Don't see it if you're looking for something like you mind a 3 hr production you want a light hearted show or musical you mind a bare bones production

Also If this were broadway I'd give it a 95, but to temper expectations its a solid 90. FANTASTIC acting especially by Brian Vestal (John Proctor) and Stan Buturla (Governor Danforth). Nancy Fox was a perfect Rebecca Nurse. All were great - those 3 stood out. This is a 98 as an off broadway show but I'm rating it side by side with my broadway reviews. FANTASTIC! Plus I met another super nice show-score friend, Phil! Have to find him now!... Read more Read less

See it if you love plays you love Arthur Miller you enjoy thinking about morality you want a taste of the goneby simpler days of life you love Annette

Don't see it if you don't like a drama you are looking for a musical

Also i cannot imagine why you would not want to see this fantastic piece of literature, with family values and intense issues teetering on a tightrope of morality. Annette Bening is spectacular. ALL the actors are spectacular. This is my kind of show - I could see it 10 times.... Read more Read less

See it if If you're looking for a big fun fluffy broadway musical where you don't have to think and just want to kick back & laugh. Its adorable.

Don't see it if you want depth. you want a real drama! you don't like one liners! you'd rather spend your money on something important

Also This is a cute entertaining light show. Worthwhile easy theater. I just prefer to see things that feel more important. Overall good no complaints.... Read more Read less

See it if you like a feel good musical you like to see talented muscians play multiple instruments throughout the show you like an action packed show

Don't see it if you're looking for a HUGE show - this is an easy small production you don't like music! you get confused with people playing multiple roles

Also Lovely small production
Great voices and musical capabilities
I cant figure out the actress's name because they play so many roles, but short haired brunette played either 9 or 10 different instruments! Keyboard, Blow into mini keyboard, accordion,
violin, acoustic guitar, bass guitar, ukelele type, Clarinet, and maybe a flute and another.. She was quite impressive. Could not remember the first instruments because I started counting as I saw her kept coming up with new ones!
That was my favorite part of the show that the actors were all so multi-talented, jumping from character to character to their musican roles, and switching from side to side of the set and switching instruments. They were FANTASTIC! Still I'm only at a 76! :)... Read more Read less

See it if You love Kelli Ohara - the role is made for her! You love great singing and fantastic dance scenes, you love Cole Porter, musicals, classics

Don't see it if you're looking for something edgy and new or you're looking for mental stimulation (this is an easy sit back & enjoy the ride kind of show)

Also Line this one up for a Tony... AFTER they do some cutting and heavy tightening. The first act is great, 2nd act a little draggy with several numbers too long. Go JUST to hear Kelli sing - spectacular as expected. Will Chase is a fantastic male lead and his voice is perfect for the role. Love the classic battle of the sexes and nice to see a happy ending. The "Too Hot" dance scene is outstanding. I myself felt out of breath when it ened. Thrilled to see the tap - refreshing. It irritated me that they played HEAVILY to the right stage. I was sitting towards the left and wondered why they had almost no scenes on the left the stage. VERY lopsided. My rating of 85 is based on potential. Right now its really a 79, but I'm giving it an 85 for the singing and dance. They CAN do it and it will be a contender for a tony, but ONLY if they really tighten it up. (I did love it though!)... Read more Read less

See it if you enjoy many characters and stunningly fabulous acting from ALL! you like Irish history, characters and family stories you enjoy an epic

Don't see it if you do not like a 3 hr 15 minute show you don't enjoy listening to accents (Irish) you are looking for a musical you want something light

Also This is a fantastic show. It does not feel long at all. One full intermission and one 5 minute leg stretcher. Each character is unique, well developed and the acting is great across the board. The kids are FANTASTIC. It just has so much to offer, never a dull moment, but plenty of time to think, anticipate, try to figure out and ENJOY.... Read more Read less

See it if you love immersive theater where you are part of the show. you love James Joyce, you want to see the American Irish historical society

Don't see it if if you don't like to be part of a show if you don't like a PLAY vs a musical if you want to bring kids - not the type of show for kids

Also I went by myself and completely enjoyed meeting other audience members and mingling with the cast. They truly made me feel part of the play. I dined with last years stage manager which made it even more interesting and it was great to meet and chat with the playwright Jean Hanff Korelitz. The actors were over the top fabulous, and the violinist divine. I LOVED the production.... Read more Read less

See it if You love an intense brilliantly staged & acted play. You want to be completely drawn in. You want to be reminded of morals courage & manners

Don't see it if you want a lighthearted show or a musical. Honestly the show is so fantastic I can't think of a reason not to see it. Going again!

Also This was an incredibly well staged show. Completely engaging from the start to the end, with brilliant acting from the entire cast headlined by Jeff Daniels portraying the perfect Atticus Finch. I was completely mesmerized by the show, and the staging was fantastic the way they moved between set to set. Humor was laced throughout the play and got sincere laughs throughout the audience. Several acts started with actors walking down the aisles onto the stage which is always engaging. The show brought up emotions and brought a tear to my eye at the end. Memorable, nostalgic, and thought-provoking. Well done, Bravo. Did I say I LOVED IT? I did!... Read more Read less

See it if you want to get lost in an easy and fun show with some cute music you want to feel good and laugh you want to have hope again!

Don't see it if if you are expecting the best music ever if you want something serious

Also Really cute show, entertaining and light. I wouldn't put it at the top of the list, but it sure was an easy fun night. Our seats were great and we got them way in advance super cheap! I would not have been happy to pay tons for the seats.... Read more Read less

See it if you want to see a classic with a great classic storyline, songs, and memories.

Don't see it if you don't like traditional classic shows, if you don't like romance, if you are looking for something edgy and new.

Also I have always loved Carousel and have seen it many times. I had to give it an 88 because it was great, but I felt that Bill Bigelow was miscast and was a bigger cad than in the movie. Those things made it lose the element of romance that had been prominent in previous versions of the show. I still loved it!... Read more Read less

See it if You like good lighthearted fun. The second half is better than the first. Lots of great singing and fun dancing. Easy fun.

Don't see it if you want to see something that will really make you think, or that is deep. This is fluffy cute.

See it if you like Carole King! if you like music! Sit in the front row and breathe it in. Its wonderful. Seen 3x now.

Don't see it if you don't like music, you don't like Carole King, you don't want to hear her autobiography.

See it if you want to smile. If you want a great girls night out. If you want to feel good! I've seen it 3x and loved!

Don't see it if You are looking for something edgy and intense, or if you're out with the guys!

See it if You want a traditional Big Show Broadway experience & definitely if you have kids. Took my niece when she was 2 & it made her a broadway fan

Don't see it if If you're looking for something edgy and new... This is a traditional classic lovely

See it if You like updated classics like the story & songs of WestSideStory want to see interesting staging want to draw parallels re timeless issues

Don't see it if You are looking for the traditional classic version don't like multimedia with LOTS of stimulus to watch hoped to hear "i feel pretty"

Also I gave this a 92 because I thought it was brilliant staging and because I just love the music and the show so much. DEFINATELY SEE THIS!

Things I loved:
Lots to look at - never a dull moment.
The huge stage size screen so you could be up and close
Dancing - fabulous - major ballet stars, and great choreography
Singing - gorgeous voices
Orchestra - listing to the violins sing along with the cast - stunningly beautiful how they entwined
How it made you think about current themes - the divisiveness in our country now, gang violence, gun violence, immigration, and always LOVE.
I liked no intermission, but not for the loss of "i feel pretty".

Things I did not like:
TOO much media - you had to watch the screen for 1/3 of the show. I want to watch the STAGE. Too much stimulas distracted from the stage.
I REALLY missed "I feel pretty" - what a loss.
Terrible theater - squished seats, bad side site lines. NEED good seats.
DEFINATELY SEE THIS!... Read more Read less

See it if If you love Paul Simon and Art Garfunkels music and want to walk back down memory lane. If you want to hear a great voice & talented guitar

Don't see it if I really don't know why you would not want to see this. Gary Edward Jones is fantastic! Looks a little like Paul Simon and a great voice

Also this show brought me to tears several times with memories and emotion .. somewhere in between Kathy's Song and The Boxer, I had to reach for the tissues, and again during Bridge over Troubled Water. I looked around the audience - many had their eyes closed just listening taking it in and thinking going back in time. Heads were bobbing and people singing along to the lyrics we know so well. What a fantastic idea for a show and well done. The venue was perfect, we sat at the bar and had a drink so it was very clubby. Wonderful production, wonderful venue, great voice, fantastic guitar. Memories and a lovely lovely evening.... Read more Read less

See it if If you like to THINK about the trials and tribulations of real america and all of the messed up things that just kind of happen in life.

Don't see it if you want an action packed fun filled show. this is thought provoking & requires patience; we found it intellectually/emotionally rewardimg

Also Bonus points to Brian playing Eddie. He was spectacular in the play and rushed out to greet patrons afterwards. The intensity of his eyes carried from the stage into my heart. He loves the show and loves how the show grows and morphs over time. I would have loved to see a little morereal sexual PASSION, and a littel more intensity from the Dadbut well done. People need to step out of their NYC bubbles and understand that trailers booze and other unmentionables are part of real america. Sad and draggy but true. This Sam Shepard piece is one to ponder over. An excellent play overall. We drove from CT and back just to see the production, did not know the cast just like shows. We were not disappointed.... Read more Read less

See it if If you like numbers, math, puzzling, ciphers, and "magic". If you like to think and be entertained. If you like to participate! WONDERFUL

Don't see it if if you want to see a typical broadway show.. this is nothing like that this show is wonderful brilliant and entertaining & the venue's great

Also Venue: The Highline Hotel - FANTASTIC - Tip - have your first cocktail downstairs at the Lobby Bar. THe bartenders KNOW how to mix a proper cocktail. They used VEUVE for my cocktail: The Remote View
Nolet’s gin, lime juice, rose syrup & Champagne - FANTASTIC!
The show - completely mesmerizing and amazing. I cannot pretend that I solved 1 single puzzle, but was awestruck with David Kwongs brain as he entertained and showcased his unique talents! We adored the frequent audience participation starting 30 minutes prior to the show and continuing throughout. After the show, David personally greets each guest with a handshake as they exit. This was SUPERB!... Read more Read less

See it if you love magic, illustions and like to be entertained, and completely drawn in! if you like to try to figure out "how did he do that?"

Don't see it if you're looking for traditional broadway - this is a classic mentalist/illustionist/magic type show with audience members going up on stage

Also thoroughly entertaining, even more than we expected
derren is funny, relevant and keeps the audience completely drawn in. simply an enjoyable evening of magic! Refreshing!... Read more Read less

See it if If you want to see a fun little show with good solid acting based on historical figures, but NOT based on actual history.

Don't see it if you are expecting any true history you are hoping to see historical costumes (actors are in modern dress) you want to learn history

Also A fun little show with good solid acting. Some entertaining laughs and an interesting take on the two historical figures. I would have been dissapointed if I had paid more than $5. As it was it was fun.... Read more Read less

See it if you are hopeful that Thomas John might just vibe on one of your deceased loved ones you want to see the happy boys singing and dancing

Don't see it if you are looking for a finished production you are looking for anything worthwhile

Also See something else
This is extremely amateur and not even an interesting profile of Thomas John's life. Watch a you tube video on him instead. This is a complete waste of time. I gave it a 10 because I felt bad. The boys tried.. They really tried & they had fun.... Read more Read less

See it if you love a big broadway musical you love Moulin Rouge you like to hear current music performed in shows you love great sets and choreography

Don't see it if you are expecting the music from Moulin Rouge the musical - its all new and current music you mind some profanity and lewd gestures

Also I loved this show! Its a big broadway spectacle full of flashy costumes, great sets and set changes, fantastic choreography, dancing and singing including entries from above on a swing. The theater is beautifully decorated and you just feel excited from the moment you walk in! The way they took so many current songs and weaved them into a story is masterful and creative. They need to close the gap & tighten up some of the scenes and put a little more heart into it, and I'll give it a 100! I think this one will be around for a while. Its a huge show with something for everyone - the new not to be missed huge broadway show. Will win many awards next year!... Read more Read less

See it if You love great acting and you like a PLAY! You'd like to hear a fun history of Rupert Murdoch & the Sun, & the development of reporting

Don't see it if You want a musical .. I can't see a reason not to see it - its spectacular acting and feels lightening fast!

Also All of the actors are fabulous but Bertie Carvel (Rupert Murdoch) & Johnny Lee Miller (Larry Lamb) are the show. Both give powerful and believable performances bringing the lives of these two into living color! I really enjoyed hearing this interesting history of which I was not previously aware. The 2:45 play went by in a flash - it was that good. They completely draw you in. I was mezmerized!... Read more Read less

See it if You enjoy thought provoking shows. You want to see 7 great actors acting together and each taking their turn having their moment.

Don't see it if You don't like some profanity and references to sex (minor). You don't like a bit of darkness. This show is dark and light all at once.

Also The acting is fantastic, and the theme (life) thought provoking. The show IS dark, with many moments of lightness and laughter, but I think with an overall dark theme. A little too long (by 15 minutes or so).... Read more Read less

See it if You love intense fast paced clever FANTASTIC acting with some great laughs! You want to see the story of Jekyl and Hyde.

Don't see it if you're looking for a musical or big scenery. you mind some raunchyness and debauchery!

Also Burt and Anna who co-wrote this production were fantastic as the 2 sole actors playing MANY roles.
Burt did the heavy lifting and changing of props and scenery while Anna did so many role changes I was spinning. I was tired for them both! They were fantastic, energetic and incredibly talented to run all over the stage changing and morphing in a matter of seconds in front of our eyes but so cleverly done in this simple production. A wonderful telling of a classic tale and done creatively imaginatively with so little props and scenery. INCREDIBLY CLEVER AND GREAT!... Read more Read less

See it if You love the absolutely fantastic score of musical gems that came out of this show! You like to support Community Theater

Don't see it if You mind sound issues and feedback You are looking for a professional

Also This is truly Community Theater and was a fun show but there are so many sound issues in the theater and you're really just in an auditorium with seats. However I will say that we used this show as an opportunity to go out to a restaurant in Harlem and see a little bit of Harlem and truly enjoy the evening.... Read more Read less

See it if you enjoy seeing a beautiful play & score ruined with screechy singing, angry acting, a well lit theater with a stark stage & you need sleep

Don't see it if you liked the original Oklahoma you loved Shirley Jone's voice as she cooed the lyrics of the song you were hoping for romance & costumes

Also NO!klahoma -Stop the bleeding now
It pains me to review this as it pained me to watch.This bears no resemblance to the Oklahoma we knew. New it is & angry, I suppose like our times. Mary Testa (Aunt Eller) was tasked with screeching out Rodgers & Hammerstein classics (ouch). A mis-cast Laurey (Rebecca Naomi Jones) alternated from awkward disinterest to nasty anger as her voice shook & shuttled like the Surrey with The Fringe on top which we only hoped would have come to take her away. Shirley Jones put your earplugs in. Having the lights on for half the show distracted the audience from the carnage that was happening onstage. We were forced to watch one another fall asleep & enviously eyed those lucky aisle seat holders who slipped out. Turn the lights off.
The NYT called this Thrilling & Audacious. I agree with them that the Haze on the meadow is OMINOUS - BUT there's NOTHING funny about this show.
Turn it into a show like “Once” & it’s a winner. Now its just RUINED.... Read more Read less

See it if you want to see Bryan Cranston completely TRANSFORM into newscaster Howard Beale you want to see a show that's relevant to current times

Don't see it if you mind swearing, sex, crass talk and ranting you just don't like a fabulous show! truly i can't find a reason NOT to see

Also I am hard pressed to give anything but Hamilton, the original Les Mis, Wicked, Cats, & the like a score of 100, simply because dramas lack the longevity of the big musicals. So I rated this a 96. My drama 96 = a musical 100.

I ADORED this. Bryan Cranston absolutely BECOMES Howard Beale - they are one and the same. The intensity of his face, the movements of his body, everything about him is perfection!

The sex scene rivals actually maybe surpasses When Harry Met Sally! What looks like the start of fellatio quickly turns into sex right in front of our eyes onstage including an orgasm that made me gasp with joy! (this all without ever exposing a body part - brilliant staging and acting)

It made me THINK. It made me FEEL, it made me want to go to more shows. I was mezmerized & transported out of my life right into Howards world. Sit close, sit center, Sit real close if you can & breathe it in. Cranston is magnificent! Took my breath away. 3rd row center orch. Want to see it again.... Read more Read less

See it if you love Motown and music from this genre you love great singing and dancing you want to hear the back story of the temptations & Motown

Don't see it if you are looking for something deep you are looking for a lot of show stopping acts

Also I tend to skew high on my scores. This one I gave a lukewarm 80 with big hopes that they fix it up. Great POTENTIAL. Great voices and dancing, interesting story line, BUT.. they need at least 3 showstopping acts! Right now the only big 5 minutes is right at the end. Everyone tries to be Abba get the audience on their feet. This show does that but ONLY at the end. Really needed more pizzaz. The staging is that barren stark staging trying to highlight the singers, it kept me wanting more. I felt like something was lacking, dead a little flat. Also the sad parts of the story went on for too long and kind of put a damper on the show. Tell it and move on quickly to the happy moments for this type of show. With all of those negatives we still really enjoyed the music dancing and were singing along with the songs. I think they can get it to a 90. They need a lot to come close to Jersey Boys sparkle!... Read more Read less

See it if you have ever felt left out you are a parent you are a child you want to FEEL you love great music & fantastic staging you love a GREAT show

Don't see it if honesly i can't imagine anyone NOT liking this show .. i cannot find any reason not to see it! ALL age groups!

See it if you love seeing actors at their art you like Sam Shepard plays you like these two actors and want to see them at their best you like 2 think

Don't see it if you want to see reality you don't like swearing and vulgarity you like a concrete ending at the end of a show

Also The first half of the show is a little slow, but whatever seems to be lacking before intermission is made up in the second half. The actors and activities draw you in and keep you fully involved. Wonderful job staging, changing scenes. I'd hate to have to clean that mess up after every show!... Read more Read less

See it if you like Kurt Vonnegut works! You love spectacular and intense acting. If you like an intimate theater and dark humor.

Don't see it if you dislike cussing, spitting and crassness. if you're looking for a light easy show or a musical.

Also I found the show to be somewhat upsetting throughout and cringed many times, although i was completely absorbed and thoroughly enjoyed the show. Jason Oconnell was spectacular as Harold Ryan and upsetting all at the same time. In spite of my discomfort, I loved the show!... Read more Read less

See it if you loved the movie you love romance you like great singing you just want a light evening of entertainment you like a feel good show!

Don't see it if your expectations are too high you are expecting julia roberts and richard gere to come alive on stage you're looking for something deep!

Also I am not sure why the critics reviewed the show so badly. It was adorable and fun with great singing. I agree that the love between the 2 characters was not well enough developed, but the singing was great, and it was very well staged. We were completely entertained and enjoyed the show greatly. That said it would not be my FIRST pick for a show, but if you've seen a lot of shows, then put this on the list for an easy entertaining evening.... Read more Read less

See it if you want to be drawn into a story line you like any kind of pool billiards or games you enjoy british humor (and even if you don't!)

Don't see it if you are expecting to see a ton of pool shots you are looking for a musical you lack patience with dialog and need a lot of action

Also I bought these tix last minute on a whim. We have a pool table and I thought it would be fun. I was stunned at how great the play was. I thought there would be a lot of pool shots, but truly it was mostly entertaining dialog, interesting and amusing characters, and a super fun plot that drew me in completely and made me forget the outside world! We loved the British Commentators who were commenting on the snooker games - they were HILARIOUS! (We are not british but completely enjoyed the show!) I'd see it a second time if a friend wanted to go.... Read more Read less

See it if you love Disco, if you love Donna Summer! If you love Broadway musicals! If you enjoy seeing a show that COULD be GREAT!

Don't see it if if you do not like musicals, and if you are easily annoyed by a show that has great potential but management won't listen to common sense

Also This show has SUCH great potential. There are 3 great songs and the rest are lost in the dust. Reduce the THREE donna summer stars to one, and for gods sake don' thave the young donna summer play the daughter as well. That is ridiculous and confusing. replace all of the women pretending to be men withe REAL MEN. And take the 3 leads and boil them down to one. Let the other 2 be cameo's. Fixed & done. This show has HUGE potential and right now is wasted. See it but you can't love it. Enjoy the 3 good songs. One at the beginning 2 at the end. Nap in between.... Read more Read less

See it if You love The Grateful Dead and their music, if you just love music, if you like a great Off Broadway show. If you want to have fun!

Don't see it if You're looking for a traditional Broadway experience
