See it if you want to see an interesting piece about a man coming to terms with the death of a child and the mistakes he has made.

Don't see it if The start was funny & engrossing. About half-way it lost its focus. The night I saw it, there was a new ending, which didn't quite work.

Don't see it if you want to see a thoughtful play.

See it if you want an uplifting one-person performance about death, Alzheimer's, and mental health issues. Much of the language is poetic.

Don't see it if The Irish accent and colloquialisms made it challenging to follow at times. Given the topic, there was not much emotion.

Don't see it if The underlying plot, about making an ATT ad under crazy conditions, was more effective than the philosophizing about the evils of capitalism

See it if you plan on going for the first hour to see the Chalks (a trio spoofing country bands). The Chalks were fun and the music was good. Score:80

Don't see it if you plan to stay for Lone Star (second act ~1.5 hours). Weak script, annoying characters, vapid dialogue. Score:38.

Also I took the average of the two acts (Chalks & Lone Star) to come to a score of 59.... Read more Read less

See it if you want to see a show with lots of potential. Opening numbers are electrifying. Great staging and concept. Solid performances.

Don't see it if you mind being disappointed as the show's potential is largely squandered The clever conceit seems to get lost in the 2nd half of the show

See it if you enjoy beautiful, scantily-clad men&women dancing, singing, and performing circus acts.

Don't see it if you dislike over amped voices/music. I found some of the acts (especially Richardson's numbers) sublime but circus acts mostly unimpressive

See it if you want to hear a good band and many strong voices. The choreography was fun and most of the actors were very entertaining

Don't see it if you want a deep play (altho there were interesting ideas at the very end).Orpheus & E's love was unconvincing, and O's falsetto needs work.

Don't see it if you don't like all of the above.

Don't see it if you are a Shakespeare purist. I loved this show, but it is probably not how the Bard envisioned it (but I bet he would have left smiling)

See it if you want to see an impressively staged production of an old classic. The score is great as is the orchestra playing it.

Don't see it if you can't watch cruelty/violence to women. While I was engrossed throughout, I didn't feel the play ultimately coalesced

Don't see it if The production was a but uneven. It needs props, some of Byck's scenes are too long, etc. The play may be disturbing to some.

Also Maltby as Czolgosz was a highlight. He has a beautiful voice, and made the character come to life.... Read more Read less

Also Colleen Clinton as Jessica and Richard Hollis as Simon were excellent!

Don't see it if you aren't in the mood for painful stories.Some of the frenetic moving about detracted from the words, and the play could have been shorter.
