See it if You are interested in quick paced, relationship centered comedies.

Also This staging felt a little unfocused and highlighted how far we've come in telling stories about other cultures. While the performers were great (especially The. Engineer), the addition to this Broadway season is curious. Of course, there is the refugee crisis angle, but this play uses that as merely a set piece, without really saying much about it.... Read more Read less
