See it if you want to be moved in so many directions. The acting and the writing.

Don't see it if You don't want to be reminded of our horrible past in the treatment of black Americans.

Also All the actors are wonderful and riveting. In the beginning one of the actors was difficult to understand because of the speed of his speech but after a few minutes I began to understand the prose and poetry of his words and had no further difficulty. The staging was so unique and smart and heartbreaking all at the same time. I didn't want it to end, but I was grateful for the intermission to catch my breath. Amazing theatre that will sit with you for a long time... Read more Read less

Don't see it if spiraling into insanity would bother you

See it if if you have absolutely nothing else to see.

Don't see it if you want to spend a night shaking your head at bad trump humor. The trump impersonator was the worst.

Also It had the strangest dialog. No one really talks like this. The writer was trying to be too clever and then the lyrics were so sophomoric. The space was great and the set pieces were terrific.
I liked the lead characters, they both sang really well... Read more Read less

Don't see it if you don't like long plays, it is long. Also if you don't want to learn family values form gay men.

Also I love Michael Urie but his sing-song style of delivery wans a bit, and I found him a shade to young for the role. This story is more than the drag aspect and gay relationships. It shows that surface understanding of a life-style is not enough when you can't understand that grief cripples us all. Go see it and talk about for days... Read more Read less

See it if you have been waiting for these guys to get to the East Coast grab some tickets now and you need their tight harmonies in your life.

See it if You want to be totally moved by an excellent story, a polished and talented cast. and you don't mind crying and laughing at the same time.

Don't see it if Just see it.

Also There is something about a contemporary story being told in a minimalist setting that is so compelling. The set was beautiful in a calming way that allowed a terrifying story to be told in a non-terrifying way. By no means does Come From Away leave you sad or terrified. This is a production that should be seen by all.
The post show discussions were so cathartic for those of us whose memories of 9/11 are still vivid. I will see this again and again.... Read more Read less

Don't see it if You need lighter fare, or a very happy ending.

See it if You are dying to hear Phillipa Soo's voice, which is gorgeous and lovely despite a ho-hum score. and if you want to see a great set.

Don't see it if you need to come away singing the score.

Also I don't know what this show was trying to be. It was whimsical but at times silly, very busy staging which was interesting but at times too busy distracting from the story which had points to be made but almost got lost with too much movement or too many story lines.... Read more Read less

See it if You want to have a good laugh at characters that feel like you really know them as people in your life. Great writing and great acting.

Don't see it if get offended by "bad" language

See it if You want to see Sally Field who is great to see in person.

Don't see it if You need a complete set and more visuals to help pass the time. and don't see it from the balcony. A total waste of your dollars.

Also There is so much not to like about this production. Too much tinkering (rain) for very little to look at. The curtain is open as you arrive and it looks like a table read and doesn't progress into much a anything. This production was just confusing as to what it wanted to be and when in time it wanted to be. Two hours and change with no intermission and nothing to really look at. I saw it in previews and have no interest to see what they change if anything. I'll wait for the reviews... Read more Read less

See it if You want to be entertained from beginning to end. These actors were committed to their characters delightful to see. Great voices

Don't see it if Just go see it and bring the kids.

Don't see it if You don't like Sondheim or short musicals.

See it if You want to be entertained from start to finish. Great staging, great set. The leads are terrific but a big shout out to C. Fitzgerald.

Don't see it if You need big chorus numbers.

Also The music is engaging and you may need to go order some pie after the show. Loved it and would see it again... Read more Read less

See it if you like absorbing, funny storytelling. 80 minutes or so flew by with this wonderful one man show. Jason is a major talent.

Don't see it if you don't like one person shows. But go anyway you will love this show.

See it if You want to have an unique theatre experience. I don't think it matters where you sit, but the coveted stage seating would be most desired.

Don't see it if If you are bothered by too much going on and just want to watch and hear people standing and singing this is not the production for you.
