See it if you want to see a Broadway pro and a well written play.

Don't see it if you don’t like one person plays in an intimate setting. Even then, consider it.

Also A wonderful, charming and energetic actor, Javier Muñoz is a joy to watch. The play called for a lot of physicality from the actor, which was very well done. Some might not enjoy a monologue-type play dealing in love, loss, time, and the human condition, but I found it absorbing and touching. I was a bit confused in places as the play was nearing the end but, by and large, I was delighted to be there. Theater experiences like this are one of the reasons I’m grateful to live in New York.... Read more Read less

See it if you like stand-up comedy and especially enjoy the comedy of Judy Gold.

Don't see it if you don’t like one woman autobiographical shows.

Also I’ve always enjoyed Judy Gold; she’s very sharp, talented and entertaining, managing to combine laughs with touching interviews with Jewish mothers, a complicated but loving relationship with her own mother, her own journey as a mother, and a painful break-up. Worth seeing.... Read more Read less

See it if you like ensemble plays, you have interest in new plays, you like plays based on true events.

Don't see it if you don’t like anything political.

Also I liked this play, and the actors and direction, very much. It completely held my attention. It was the first night of previews, and the ensemble will gel and get better and better. It was clever, poignant and very relevant to today.... Read more Read less

See it if you like family dramas and if the subject of addition and how it effects the lives of family members, especially children, is of interest.

Don't see it if You are not interested in the subject of addition or you prefer lighter theater experiences.

See it if you are too young to remember the confusing, tragic, early days of HIV when it was called the “gay cancer”.

Don't see it if it’s just too sad to go back to those heartbreaking days; the confusion, the anger, the fear, the homophobia.

Also This play is a must-see. Well acted, written and directed. It was touching and informative without pointing fingers or preaching. Names, faces and conversations came to mind as I watched.... Read more Read less

See it if especially if you like the reality of historical plays and the history of baseball.

Don't see it if if you don’t like plays about lost chances, struggle and the human condition, or you prefer Broadway theater.

Also The four actors in the ensemble performed beautifully. The play was very well written. I liked the intimate theater and the interaction with the audience. Fine set. I felt very drawn to the story and character of Josh and was saddened by it. But the play is very worth seeing.... Read more Read less

See it if you want to see a truly funny take on Pride and Prejudice, the Bennett family and all of the characters.

Don't see it if you only want to see Jane Austen works in their purest form. Otherwise, please see it.

Also This play is in my top 10 of all of the plays I’ve seen in the last 12 months. It’s absolutely brilliant writing and acting. The cast is perfection. Kate Hamill, I’m a fan forever. The only downside: I now can’t see a traditional production of Pride and Prejudice without laughing in places inappropriately!... Read more Read less

See it if you love Springsteen and you want to see him solo in an intimate setting.

Don't see it if for some reason you just don’t like him or his music.

Also If you can get a ticket, don’t miss it. It’s been extended again to December 2018. This show is undeniably brilliant and outstanding and won’t happen again. The scalper prices are unfortunate, but you can get ticket release alerts by text and there’s a lottery every performance.... Read more Read less

See it if you love musical revivals and want to see one done really, really well.

Don't see it if you would rather see a play or hear a new musical score.

Also This is a beautiful production, visually, musically and dramatically. Renee Fleming is wonderful. To hear her sing “When You Walk Through a Storm” is memorable. Joshua Henry as Billy Bigelow was excellent, as was the entire cast and the dancing. Kudos to the set designer - it’s beautiful. Jesse Mueller gives a poignant, powerful dramatic scene when Billy dies. The big guy sitting next to me was crying!... Read more Read less

See it if you like new plays, clever writing, excellent set.

Don't see it if you don’t like plays about superficial life problems.

Also The play was entertaining and I loved the set and staging. The actors were very good, but the point of the play was lost on me and I didn’t have any empathy for the characters.... Read more Read less

See it if you want to see excellent acting, writing and staging and solid ensemble.

Don't see it if you are in the mood for something lighter or don’t like plays about complicated characters and relationships.

Also I thoroughly enjoyed this play and thought it was top notch. This is smart, clever, interesting writing; very good cast and casting and solid staging. This is the kind of ensemble, dialogue and pacing that has a lot of moving parts and is not easy to pull off. But they do it beautifully.... Read more Read less

See it if You like comic melodrama and camp, extremely well done.

Don't see it if You don’t like broad comedy and camp.

Also Excellent writing, directing, set and acting. Thoroughly enjoyable and fun. Exceptional cast, some playing several roles. Charles Busch is delightful. I find this kind of comedy tricky. For me, it can easily go off the rails and become boring. But this play is so well done in every aspect. I loved it.... Read more Read less

Don't see it if ...you don’t like musicals of any kind.

Also This show is brilliant with an exciting, riveting, memorable cast, and an amazing production team. You can’t take your eyes off the choreography, and the voices are sublime. I’ve seen it twice now and was blown away both times.... Read more Read less

See it if if you want to see an excellent piece of writing, well directed and beautifully performed.

Don't see it if you wouldn’t like an intimate, one-woman show.

Also I came away with tremendous admiration for Maddie Corman. Never once was the painful subject matter mean, spiteful or judgmental. Rather, the play was a heartfelt telling of her part of the story, and how she navigated through the initial shock, the anger, the outrage and confusion. Throughout, the sadness and fierce desire to protect her children was central. Her decision to stay with her marriage was not one with which everyone would agree or understand. But it was a powerful decision of understanding and love for another, and one of second chances. I felt so happy for them all. The play is 90 minutes and flew by. In a very lovely and comfortable space on 15th Street. Highly recommend.... Read more Read less

See it if you appreciate one person shows, excellent acting and fine scripts.

Don't see it if you want something light and/or don’t like thoughtful, absorbing drama.

Also This is an outstanding performance by Brandon Walker. Extremely difficult (and probably exhausting) to perform, he was on point every second. Excellent directing by Erin Cronican. I haven’t seen another work by playwright Doug Wright, but I would like to. This is the third play I’ve seen at The Seeing Place. They are unflinching when it comes to choosing difficult works and subjects and they never disappoint. Always entertaining and thought provoking.... Read more Read less

Don't see it if you don’t see the historical value of classic movies from the 60’s with stars of the day.

Also Wonderful to see My Fair Lady on the big screen with Audrey Hepburn, Rex Harrison and a great cast. Hepburn is breathtaking in every costume. Lovely to hear Marni Nixon’s voice also. A great afternoon for any theater person.... Read more Read less

See it if if you like intimate, autobiographical one man shows that are touching and relatable.

Don't see it if you would rather see a full cast or don’t like solo shows.

Also I was entertained and touched by this play and the performer. It reminded me of my own family roots and how much I respect and admire my grandparents and parents, whose courage to escape poverty and come to a new world gave my generation a better life. The play drew me in without being indulgent or too sweet.... Read more Read less

See it if you would like to catch up with Hayley Mills and see her in a new play.

Don't see it if you don’t like plays about family relationships and family secrets, or would rather see a musical or a known play.

Also I liked Hayley Mills’ portrayal of the strong but vulnerable mother who wants desperately to be a part of her daughters’ lives. I wasn’t blown away by the play itself; I thought it missed its mark by not concentrating more on the relationship between the mother and daughters. The two other female characters were good, but distracted from the more interesting relationship. I saw it in previews.... Read more Read less

Don't see it if political issues are depressing or not interesting to you.

Also The play became more and more absorbing as it went on and I liked the actors. It was too long and could stand some editing. I thought that the end was odd and unnecessary and I felt let down.... Read more Read less

Don't see it if you don’t like one man shows and you don’t like learning about other cultures. Otherwise, try not to miss it.

Also I didn’t know anything about the art of Rakugo and wasn’t sure I wanted to go. But I went on YouTube and watched a short video of Katsura Sunshine performing. I laughed out loud more than once and decided to get a ticket. I was not disappointed. It’s a charming, unique evening with a wonderful performer and you learn a bit as well. Katsura Sunshine is an apt name, because he did bring lots of sunshine into the room. The audience laughed all the way through. Go see it - it might lower your blood pressure!... Read more Read less

See it if You like the nostalgic songs of the 50s and 60s.

Don't see it if You don’t like camp.

Also I liked the actors better than I liked the book and direction. Some very good voices. The first act was way too campy and bordering on slapstick. The second act was more interesting. I thought the show was too long and could benefit from being cut down a bit. Overall, entertaining and glad I saw it.... Read more Read less
