See it if You need your fringe festivals. Highly recommend "...waiting", "Michael is black", and "HORSE". PCTF is always great

Don't see it if You don't like supporting local artists

See it if you are a fan of Chekhov (i mean it too, the play itself is sloppy but super Chekhov) and want to see Blanchett. Also, dynamite cast

Don't see it if you don't have patience to sit through a long first act where not much happens. You hate Chekhovian theate

Also I'm a big fan of Chekhov and not familiar with Platanov. Clearly, that play is a problem play. Trimming 2 hours off of it and making it into "The Present" definitely made it enjoyable.

Cate gives a masterclass. Richard Roxburgh is also great as is whole ensemble.

This show isn't for everyone but I am happy i saw it.

Again, this play is slow... Read more Read less

See it if You want to see theatre that is incredibly funny and not easy to explain. STRONG CAST and great script. Don't miss this

Don't see it if You don't like theatre that admits it's theatre. It's pretty meta

See it if You want to see a VERY fringe show. It is very silly but not funny

Don't see it if You want to laugh more than a handful of times or if you want a show with a sense of humor that isn't heavy handed puns

See it if You love good acting and an interesting story. It's very funny and unique (In a good way)

Don't see it if Sodomy scares you, also full front nudity (that is required for this story too). Also many scene changes come close to halting show

See it if You need a hug in a musical. It's just warm goodness

Don't see it if You don't want a relentlessly lovely and loveable musical.

See it if You want to see some amazing acting the whole ensemble is strong

Don't see it if You want to see a vision that makes sense. Huge misstep by the director (too many ideas, seriously any of them fleshed out would work)

See it if You love seeing 2 amazing actors handle a beautifully crafted TOUGH text (this play is not easy). Show is also super short

Don't see it if You want a show that feels happy

See it if You want to see an amaking play pop alive. Also this show is a masterclass I'm good acting

Don't see it if You can't see a 4 hour show with 1 intermission . It's the only reason I can't give it a rating in the 90s

See it if You like absurdist theatre done extraordinarIlya well

Don't see it if You don't like challenging theatre

See it if You want to see nontraditional and heavily 80s influenced musicals done very well and a solid performance from Ben Walker

Don't see it if You want a traditonal.musical, then see Les Miserables (a joke I had to make). It's a really good vulgar daring musical

See it if You understand the Yorkshire accent. It's funny and really well acted. Thus is also a slice of life play

Don't see it if You don't understand the accent or like patient plays.

See it if You like full house and want a VERY dirty show with a hella game cast. It's not a perfect show but was highly enjoyable

Don't see it if Never seen full house or want high quality theatre

See it if you love watching strong performances in a very fun script. Not afraid of bad attitudes and dark comedy

Don't see it if you don't like STRONG Irish accents, hate dark comedy of manners

Don't see it if You don't want to feel emotions or see shows that are shorter than 70 minutes

See it if you like a good PG-13 comedy. Strong cast especially the triplets. Great script. Staging is a little spotty but show zips

Don't see it if you don't want to laugh

See it if You want to see an expertly staged show with a strong ensemble. You like history with a slice of Monty Python

See it if You want a very unique sketch show with a solidly defined voice with a strong cast

Don't see it if You don't want to be happy

See it if You want to see a damn near perfect show. Not a weak link, and we saw Audra's uunderstudy. Also amazing choreo

Don't see it if You don't like tap...there is easily 2 hours of tap on the stage. This show is really cool

See it if You have any interest in the subject matter. The play is actually funny too. This should be noted as it sounds super heavy (it is) and more

Don't see it if For some reason you don't like intense and funny theatre. Show has a stellar cast and is doing amazing stuff on 45th st

See it if You are open to see a daring show for the whole family. Ingenious storytelling, strong cast, and THE RIGHT LENGTH for the story.

Don't see it if You are expecting a show with a lot of dialogue and are afraid of awesomely designed puppets

See it if You are a parent. I am not and this WAS NOT for me. For me it was very long for the rest of audience they were cackling at every joke

Don't see it if You aren't a parent or are expectino anything bit a stand up show for parents (her material was fine just not for me)

See it if You are interested in a beautiful unconventionallyrics told musical with stellar performances

Don't see it if You want to see "normal" shows....seriously this show rocks for exactly what it is

See it if You want to see a pretty funny play with an original idea, that had nice dramatic moments. Solid acting

Don't see it if Script isn't the best but show is quick. Ending is confusingly vague. Also play is incredibly vulgar (to make that's cool)

See it if You don't see much theatre. The acting is ok from some. Laughably bad by the smaller female role (seriously I laughed)

Don't see it if You want to see a play where the most important character appears. This play is waiting for Godot if Godot was all they talked about

See it if You like immersive theatre with some cool ideas

Don't see it if Don't like being touched, watching "ok" dancing for long periods of time

See it if You like the book. Also the last 10 minutes are perfect. Stunning. And terrance Mann is really good
