See it if You like jimmy buffet and don’t like to think during a show

Don't see it if You hate Jimmy Buffet’s music and the all American way feeling this audience can evoke.

Also I had a bad Theater experience with a racist bartender. I had to sit thru the first act - trying to calm myself down. After I got over it and told him off I felt better. It helped that someone in the cast was someone I knew.... Read more Read less

See it if You want to entertain your kids or what to show them the “real” cast of characters.

Don't see it if You can deal with the songs your kid sings every day - lol!

Also I saw this twice. The first time there weren’t as many little kids in the audience and I sat in the front orchestra and was covered in snow. I actually still see snow in my handbag.

See it if You love American songwriting at it’s inception and enjoy a time hop into the past.

Don't see it if You expect Carol King there or you don’t like a musical about women earning their success.

See it if You want to see amazing acting with a global cast

Don't see it if you can only see Danny Divitto as the main character.

See it if You liked Beautiful, love Frankie Vale, NJ or listening to american songwriting.

Don't see it if You don’t care for old school music or appreciate musicals or American songwriting classics.

Also I have it extra points because I saw it with Mark Ballis and he was really great in it. When I got to the theater I thought I had seen him and tweeted about it but he replied to me and said he wasn’t there that night but was kind enough to direct me to the person who would get another ticket for the following days performance.... Read more Read less

See it if you love great acting and drama

Don't see it if you don't like musicals, if your underage
