See it if You want to see Anna Chlumsky and Adam Pally on stage.

Don't see it if The plot didn't go anywhere exciting and the message of the play is very muddled.

See it if you're friends or family of someone involved.

Don't see it if you are offended by bad acting, writing and directing.

Also The "surprise" ending wasn't in keeping with the rest of the themes brought up through out the performance. The staging was unaware of itself. There were tons of poor acting choices being made. I felt uncomfortable and embarrassed throughout.... Read more Read less

See it if you can stomach characters who are offensive stereotypes.

Don't see it if you are easily offended by less than stellar writing.

Also I was excited for this one. It had a great premise. It had all the right elements for comedy. The delivery on all the punch lines just fell flat. The cast needs to find their pacing. There were scenes that continually dragged on. Farces should be quicker. Also, some of the characters were just plain offensive. The character Henrietta is continuously trashed on for her weight. She is told that a drag queen would be a more believable woman than her. It also doesn't bode well when the main dramatic suspense becomes, "Is this 10 year old circumcised?" The show also became very predictable. I was seeing the plot twists from miles away.... Read more Read less

Don't see it if you are triggered by talk of depression, suicide, pills and alcoholism.

See it if You are a fan of the original. The opening night audience was. We were all singing the opening theme out loud as a group sing a long.

Don't see it if you have never seen the original. (but who hasn't. It did feel a little long. A Golden Girls episode is 25 minutes for a reason.

Also The set is perfect. Every detail was exact right down to the giant Asian vase by the door in the living room. The puppets are also perfect. I think the show would have been more enjoyable if all the parts had been played by men. It would have added to the humor. The actor portraying Dorothy (Bea Arthur) had all of the mannerisms and the voice down perfectly. The script itself could use some work. 90 minutes is too long for one story. I would have liked to have seen several of the episodes acted out instead.... Read more Read less
