See it if You want a LGBT history lesson set in New Orleans, pre-Stonewall. Reminds me of CHEERS (TV show), but it's a gay bar set in the 70's.

Don't see it if You're not into low budgeted musical history lessons.

See it if You want a light & fluffy show that's fun, entertaining and make you laugh. It's based on a true story. There are some gorgeous drag queens

Don't see it if you wouldn't like a show featuring some drag queens, if musicals are not your thing, if lighthearted fluffy shows are not for you.

See it if you think flashing lights,loud music&newer technologies used for entertainment is interesting.Lights are dizzying in darkness so sit in back

Don't see it if you can't handle flashing lights, loud music, no serious acting and no plot. Show can make you feel a bit dizzy! Sit further back!

See it if you love the actors, that is the only reason I can think of to see this play.

Don't see it if you thought the movie was awesome. You'll be disappointed by the show. The characters in the play are not as evil and scheming as the movie.

See it if you love Sean Hayes playing God and watching him poke fun at God.

Don't see it if religious humour is not your thing.

See it if you like very talky long plays w/over the top performance by great actors about family dysfunction & substance abuse.Byrne,Shannon &Lange A+

Don't see it if you can't sit & stay awake for ~4 hour play;length was painful! Parts felt repetitive. Characters seemed to be disconnected from one another

See it if I can't think of a reason to see this show. I hated it, waste of money and time. I'm sorry to say all of this, pointless and boring.

Don't see it if I don't understand for the life of me why this is the longest running play in NYC. I don't get it!

See it if you love Disney anything;you're not looking for anything too deep; you don't care if it is not written well. Scenes with Genie were great.

Don't see it if rude, talking, etiquette-less kids/teens bother you. Don't expect any connection with the characters. Parts without Genie were slow & boring

See it if you want to laugh out loud at the silly antics that these two older women get into. I was so surprised about how much I loved this show.

Don't see it if you expect a deep and serious play. If you cannot laugh at crazy antics, similar to I Love Lucy.

See it if you have lived w/a dog anytime in your life; watching a great actress capture the nuances of dogs' behaviors. Reminded me of Mimi, R.I.P.

Don't see it if you are tired of Matthew Broderick and dogs are not your thing. This play is told from the viewpoint of a dog.

See it if you are married or in a relationship; if you like comedy about differences in men and woman. Nothing ground breaking here.

Don't see it if hearing about the cliched differences between men and women are not your thing; you want to see something new and original

See it if You want to see common married couple/family issues but with a gay couple. Nothing ground breaking here as far as writing goes; cool staging

Don't see it if you care about good writing; if watching a gay couple bothers you; not okay with gratuitous male nudity; you want something interesting.

See it if you would like to see some insanity. Themes and things that happened on a Broadway stage even shocked me. Usually Broadway is not so risqué.

Don't see it if Cussing, violence and sexual themes (puppet sex) bothers you.

See it if you want to see a really boring play about a family who comes together on Thanksgiving. Nothing was funny or that dramatic. It was mad slow.

Don't see it if you thought this would be a good play, it's awful. Was supposed to be about a contemporary family. If my family, I would not want to live!

See it if you like personal stories told by a very charming older gentleman that may make you emotional; you know who the Hines family is.

Don't see it if you want a play with a plot, you don't like live music, a little tap dancing; don't care to know about an influential entertainment family.

See it if You'd like to watch Marlo Thomas in a little family comedy-drama; you want to watch a family sitcom comedy with some more modern twists.

Don't see it if you want a deep, thought provoking play.

See it if you like classic, romantic, Broadway musicals; with some opera thrown in; grand staging; play is 100% singing and music; beautiful costumes.

Don't see it if You don't like flashy, classic Andrew Lloyd Webber Broadway musicals; expect something new; don't like operas/musicals; or hate romance

See it if you want to laugh out loud at raunchy puppet humour.

Don't see it if raunchy, dirty, racist humour is not your thing.

See it if You want some light entertainment, nice costumes, nice dance numbers, and a children's story. Slow in beginning, picked up in 2nd act.

Don't see it if You want a deep story and you do not like children's stories. Material is not too challenging.

See it if you like original, imaginative, mostly wordless storytelling with some puppetry. You will have to pay attention to follow the story.

Don't see it if you need dialogue, do not like original and unique stories.

See it if You like watching actors portray different characters,you have a high attention span,you're into intellectual plays w/little or no stage set

Don't see it if You're into fancy stage sets,fancy costumes,easy going light plays. If youre tired,sleepy or have problems focusing,this play is not for you

See it if You like classic Rodgers & Hammerstein musicals, you liked the movie, if you want to support a great play featuring a mostly Asian cast.

Don't see it if If you hate musicals, if you didn't like the movie, if three hours is too long for you.

See it if you want great acting.No need to see/read part 1.Love use of modern language as to not detract from actors & what they have to say, intense.

Don't see it if you want a fun & musical play. Acting is very intense in this play. You will need to focus on actor's words and movements.Serious & relevant

Also Even though the subject matter is very serious, the material is presented with a lot of humour which I appreciated. I did laugh a lot at this play which made it enjoyable for me. Even though this is a period piece the contemporary language made this play easier to understand for me, I completely agree with their decision to use the language of today. It makes the play more relatable. IMHO, isn't that the point of any material that is presented to an audience, to have the audience understand the material?... Read more Read less

Don't see it if you've ever seen the movie and expect the play to be just as good as the movie; you expect suspense, the play was done to be funny.

Don't see it if audience participation is not your thing thang. There is nothing deep in this show. Nothing mind blowing or new. Just a night of fun.

See it if You want to see a bunch of paranoid project managers think out how to do a strange project that could be parallel to a project during WW II.

Don't see it if You want some song and dance show. This play happens all in one room and there was no satisfying ending to the story.

See it if you are okay with no dialogue, don't mind interpreting the story told by using physical movement, and don't mind darker subject matters

Don't see it if you want a light show. Show has very mature subject matters. Very inappropriate for children even though there is puppetry.
