See it if women contemplating their identity in their 50s interests you, no matter how poorly the play is written. You like seeing new roles for women

Don't see it if You don't enjoy watching heavy conflict with no breath of respite or humor for 2 hours and 15 min.

See it if You love smart, fresh, real writing: dialogue that sounds like you're watching a great sitcom, & subtleties you don't find often on Broadway

Don't see it if You don't like straight plays (though the music breaks are hilarious and probably worth it for you).

Don't see it if You absolutely can't sit through a three hour show.

Don't see it if You're not into one continuous scene and not a lot of major action.

Don't see it if N/A
