See it if you're really into American politic, satyre, and love provocative shows with a strong message , if you like the mix of genres.

Don't see it if If you want to see a comedy, if you hate endings that you don't understand, if you don't like when a play mix different genres

Also Very disappointed !
The cast is amazing, the set is beautiful, the direction is really really good.... But the Story ????? Really ?
What is this play : a comedy ? a tragedy ? a satyre ? a dark humor tragi-comedy ?

I don't know what I saw. I think I knew, but the last 5 minutes are so confusing. It's like the writer wrote his play, and 5 pages before endings said " wait... I forgot to shock and confuse the audience ! Let's do something "experimental" !!!".
Tracy Letts, we know and understand the message, and it's a good one. But the way of saying it would be better if it was genuinely spread all over the play instead of the last 5 minutes that leave the audience with disappointment in our mouth.

All the ingredients are there, but the recipe is not good.... Read more Read less

Don't see it if if you like classic and don't like parodies

See it if if you want to see a play that gonna make you cry and laugh, if you like powerful testimonials and love dance and poetry

Don't see it if if you want to escape reality and be entertained, if you don't like experimental shows.

Also I think this show would be great in a smaller venues, with more intimacy. it would be way more powerful and stronger. This venue is way too big. The text is amazing , the actress are very talented, but the venue doesn't match.... Read more Read less

See it if you want to see a great show for kids, where kids AND adults have a wonderful time, with a great message and wonderful voices

Don't see it if you're afraid of puppets. Yes, that's the only thing I have to say because this show is really amazing.

Also Talking about disabilities to children can be a real trap. But they found the perfect balance to do a clever show, easy to understand for the kids, and with a message also strong for adults and teenagers.
My 2 kids (3 and 6) and I laughed danced and had a wonderful time. It's definitely one of the best show for kids that I've ever seen.

Because nothing is perfect, I may say that this show (because of the topic) should be subtitled for deaf and hard of hearing. This show talk about disabilities and should be accessible for everybody.... Read more Read less

See it if You want to bring your children to their first musical

Don't see it if you don't like clichés and story you've seen a thousand times.

Also "What's the definition, tell me the description..." of a story. A story is an issue. The problem is : the issue (the "terrible" choice the character has to make) happens almost at the end and is resolved in 2 minutes. So the story is just a little girl who wants a dog and complains about it during 45 minutes.

Moreover, the parents look like parents in the 80's sitcoms.

it's nice, it's OK. But there's nothing new. We've seen way way much better.... Read more Read less

Also My kids loved it, and it was their first musical. They are 3 and 5 and they followed the story until the end. And now they do the show at home with their toys. So Congratulation. They loved it and they want to come back.

As a parent, I'm not totally agree with my kids. Yes it's a goo show, I had a good time and I'll tell people to come to see it.

But it's not perfect.

First : the show started late. With kids (who hate waiting and can be very impatient) it's not quite good.

The dancing is not good. The stage is really small so the actors can't really move. Too bad because they are good actors and singers.

I had a problem with the costume because It takes some times to recognize animals (apparently be a crocodile means be dressed like Prince). So it takes time to get used to this concept.

So it's a good show except for punctuality, dance, costumes.... Read more Read less

Too bad because the cast is wonderful .... Read more Read less

See it if You've never seen a Shakespeare revisited before.

Don't see it if You want to see a professional production, if you love rock music, if you hate rock cliches

Also When I read "Shakespeare revisited with a live rock band" I was expecting songs during the scenes and the battles, a real rock opera of this play, not 20 seconds of rock music between each scenes, and no songs. There's no microphones, no lights, it's just a Shakespeare with characters dressed with "rock band T-shirt" with all the rock cliches. Very disappointing.... Read more Read less
