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

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

See it if You want to see an amazingly wonderful one man (and a few others) show. Drew had me wrapped up in this story he weaves from the beginning.

Don't see it if You don't understand gay humor and pathos.

Also I laughed so much and cried at the realness of the character. I know so many guys like this guy. Its a side of gay life that isn't always pretty but truthful and with humor. Loved being on the inside of the jokes.... Read more Read less

Don't see it if You don't like characters playing multiple roles. The beginning was a little confusing and I think trying to be too clever.

See it if you want to see and hear something different. Fast moving, and fun with a talented cast who appear to enjoy what they were doing

Don't see it if you need an orchestra and an intermission.

Also I happened to see the last performance of In Transit and was kind of sorry I didn't go sooner. I would have loved to bring so many of my friends... Read more Read less

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.

See it if I was as entertained this time as I was 10 years ago. The staging is delightful and the current cast is talented and fun.

Don't see it if well there is no reason not to see it. Family fun, iconic Broadway show

See it if IF you read the book, watched the movie, or even if you have no idea what it is about. Solo and chorus voices must be heard. Stunning

Don't see it if no reason not to see it. My only tiny critique was the words were hard to understand when singing in unison.

See it if you want to see great acting, intense and gripping dialog. Mr Steggert gave an extraordinary performance. Loved the set.

Don't see it if you are stuck in the dark ages about gender identity

See it if You like new and innovative special effects. You will be captivated throughout the show.

Don't see it if You scare easily and dislike loud noises

Also I found the opening a little busy with very different choreography.As the show progressed the choreo grew on me.The puppetry is wonderful and the projections are so beautiful. I don't think the songs will be too memorable but the orchestration is beautiful.... Read more Read less

See it if You like the Rat Pack and their music in a totally strange premise. Frank Sinatra-guy was great.

Don't see it if If you hate that kind of music or were expecting the show to be scary

Also I would have like more gore,but that's me. SDJ needed to keep up with the track music,but he danced a lick with flair.... Read more Read less

See it if you are interested in a one man show that deals with a heart wrenching topic

Also a very talented actor playing many parts telling compelling stories of the homeless. I really admired the writing and the back stories of the characters.... Read more Read less

See it if you want to see a finely acted, well written play with a gay theme. If you loved the original this one is worth the look

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 like new works, great dialogue and really good acting.

Don't see it if You need action and aren't into thought provoking plays.

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

See it if you love Patti and Christine. It is the vocal Olympics and they both win gold. The set is lovely, the costumes to die for.

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 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 love Sondheim in any form. A never boring production from the never disappointing Gallery Players. Mr. Rifat is always engaging.

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

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 like to be drawn in to family dramas. Great acting that tells an interesting story with the mystery solved that will keep you talking.

Don't see it if You expect loud family fighting and lots of action

Also The characters were so well written and the actors were perfection

Don't see it if you don't like kids.

See it if You are a fan of audience participation and good improvisation The cast handled the audience well.

Don't see it if you don't like audience participation shows. There was a lot of calling out even when not asked. Also not a fan of inside jokes.

See it if You enjoy great writing that translates to the stage flawlessly. the content of this play hits you in the heart before the brain.

Don't see it if If you think this is a toe-tapping musical. It is more like a play with music and it works well.
