See it if You really love the Bat out of Hell album. This was a very fun and interesting show.

Don't see it if You absolutely hate the Bat out of Hell album or Meat Loaf. I felt the book of this show is a little weak. Show felt slow in parts as well.

See it if You want to have a fabulous time at the theater! Incredible staging, acting, singing, dancing etc... a must see!

Don't see it if You absolutely hate the movie it is based off. Hate the use of modern music in a period piece.

See it if You really are interested in learning the history of Toni Stone. The lead actress who played Toni was great.

Don't see it if You absolutely cannot sit through plays that are 2 acts and don’t need to be. Are uninterested in the topic of the show.

Also I am usually pleased with the productions put on by Roundabout at the Laura Pels Theatre. This show was so unfortunate it was hard to sit through. Besides the fantastic acting by the lead actress playing Toni Stone, all other performances felt forced. The play itself feels disjointed and doesn’t go in one direction to focus on what’s important in the story. The sporadic dialogue doesn’t mesh well with the importance of the story and how this woman became the first to play in a Major League Baseball game. Finally the show is 2 acts and it really only needed to be 1 act. I wish this play was better but unfortunately it needs a lot of work.... Read more Read less

See it if You are really interested in the topic of the play. There is a lot of information thrown at you in this production. Acting was incredible!

Don't see it if You absolutely cannot sit through long shows. At 2 hours 45 min this play felt never ending.

Also I had a lot of hope for this production and personally it fell flat for me. The story which is interesting was pieced together by the playwright to give you so much information during 2 hours and 45 minutes it felt overwhelming. Personally I think this show would benefit from being a 1 act play, a lot of the unnecessary storylines could have been taken out. The acting from both lead actors were both outstanding and much deserved Tony Nominations for both of them.... Read more Read less

See it if You have questions regarding the Constitution and what’s going on this country currently. Want to really think about current affairs.

Don't see it if You are pleased with the current political climate. Do not like to put on your thinking cap at a show,

Also There really isn’t a more important, poignant, thought provoking play currently running on Broadway than this one. A very intelligent and well thought out take on the US Constitution & the current political climate. Bravo to Heidi and the entire production team on this play. A must see!... Read more Read less

See it if You want to see a great production of a classic Arthur Miller play brought to life by incredible actors on this stage.

Don't see it if You are not a fan of Millers work. Do not care for thought provoking dramas.

Also Bravo to this cast on bringing this Arthur Miller Classic to life! Annette Bening, Tracy Letts & Benjamin Walker. I am a huge fan of Arthur Miller’s many works and this production didn’t disappoint on bringing the drama to the stage. I don’t understand how the Tony Committee completely overlooked Tracy Letts for best actor in a play!... Read more Read less

See it if You want to see an incredible new play with excellent acting by Laurie Metcalf & John Lithgow. This play exceeded all my expectations.

Don't see it if You absolutely cannot sit through a play with characters named Hillary & Bill Clinton. Don’t like plays that make you think.

See it if You want to see Glenda Jackson completely blow your mind as King Lear. A great revival of a classic Shakespeare play.

Don't see it if You absolutely cannot sit through a long Shakespeare play that runs 3 hours 35 min with only 1 intermission.

Also I was completely blown away by this production of Shakespeare’s King Lear starring Glenda Jackson in the title role. At 82 years old Ms. Jackson commands the stage like no other can in this beautifully directed revival. Updating the clothing to modern times made for a nice change to a Shakespeare play. Phillip Glasses Score worked really well for this production. A must see this season on Broadway and I think Glenda Jackson might be seeing a Tony again this year.... Read more Read less

See it if You love Cole Porter classics and want to see a top notch revival with an excellent cast.

Don't see it if You absolutely hate classic musicals. You hate When the writers change some dialogue and or music to be more relevant with the times.

Also An all star cast leads this wonderful production of a Cole Porter classic. Kelli O’Hara is phenomenal as always and her counterpart Will Chase is excellent. Corbin Bleu continues to impress me with his dance skills and beautiful voice. This show is pure entertainment with lots of laughs throughout the show. A must see production this season!... Read more Read less

See it if You are a fan of the novel as I felt this was a great adaptation. Want to see some incredible acting by everyone in this cast.

Don't see it if You absolutely were not a fan of the novel. Cannot sit through long plays the run time was 2 hours 35 minutes with intermission.

See it if You want to see a very unique and thought provoking play with incredible acting & staging. Also if you’re a huge Bryan Cranston fan!

Don't see it if If you cannot sit through a show at 2 hours with no intermission. There is a lot of dialogue and a lot that you have to pay attention to.

Also I cannot say enough good things about this production. It truly was one of those shows where after you are in complete awe & shock about what just happened. I must give a shout out to the incredibly talented Ivo Van Hove who directed this piece, he surprises me every time with each new production he does. Bravo!... Read more Read less

See it if You like a good family drama with some Twists. Want to see pure perfection on stage.

Don't see it if Sitting through a performance over 3 hours is something you absolutely cannot do. There is no reason not to see it.

Also One of the best new plays in recent years to grace Broadway. This play is completely astonishing and a must see!... Read more Read less

See it if You want to see top quality acting from Elaine May, Joan Allen and Lucas Hedges. If you enjoy thought provoking plays.

Don't see it if The idea of dementia bothers you and the progression of has on the body.

See it if You love the story of King Kong and want to see how it can be adapted to the stage. Kong is incredible to witness in person.

Don't see it if You cannot get over the horrible music and lyrics in this show. If you are sick of movie to stage adaptations.

Also I went into the show with an open mind and overall I was pleased. If you can forget the absolutely horrendous music/lyrics to make this show a “musical.” It’s well worth seeing. Visually this show is stunning it plays like a well made movie. Kong is absolutely a feat in itself. The way the puppet covnveys emotions and the puppeteers responsibile to make him move are incredible. This did not need to be a musical, if they made this a straight play with a score it would have been an A+ and possibly made critics love it. The music is the biggest downfall of this show.... Read more Read less

See it if You are interested in the history of the Booth family and the mind of Wilkes-Booth prior to The Lincoln Assasination

Don't see it if You do not want to see a show based on the history of the Booth family. Do not like shows off off Broadway.

Also My friend and I were very surprised at how well written this script is for this play. With the right producing team and some tweaking here and there this show could make it much further and maybe Broadway! Please take the trek downtown to Christopher Street to see The Brutes. Support this small show that has a lot of potential.... Read more Read less

See it if You are a theater buff and want to learn more about the history of theaters on Broadway. Our tour guide Sarah was very good and entertaining

Don't see it if If you do not wish to learn about the history of one of the oldest and newest Broadway theaters.

See it if You absolutely love A Chorus Line or have not seen a production of this brilliant musical.

Don't see it if You absolutely hate classic musicals like this one. Not a fan of shows that are dance heavy.

Also This production was absolutely incredible! The cast is phenomenal, the classic staging of the show is perfect. Every detail put into this performance is pure perfection. I am hoping to see a Broadway transfer like Sunday in the Park did recently. Bravo to everyone involved with this City Center production!... Read more Read less

See it if You want to see one the most relevant plays for today. Incredible acting by entire cast. One of the best new works recently on Broadway!

Don't see it if You absolutely cannot handle stories about racism in America and themes of Black Lives Matter movement.

Also I was truly blown away by this play that is brilliantly brought to life by all star performances by Kerry Washington, Steven Pasquale, Eugene Lee, Jeremy Jordan with Exquisite direction from Kenny Leon. American Son is so powerful and a needed presence in today’s country. Bravo bravo bravo! I will be seeing this again! Run to the Booth Theater for this limited 16 week only play.... Read more Read less

See it if You want to see a very interesting production with a good message in a very intimate setting.

Don't see it if you do not like thought provoking material. Shows with no intermission and intimate settings.

Also I saw a lot of similarities to Hedwig and the Angry Inch while watching this performance. Not story wise but the pacing, song sequence etc... I enjoyed this production and was completely blown away by Jo mama. I just kept thinking back to Hedwig (which I saw 15 times)... Read more Read less

See it if You want to see a completely unique take on the story of Ferdinand the a Bull. Absolutely brilliant and captivating performance.

Don't see it if All male burlesque shows will be something you don’t want to see.

See it if You want to see a classic work brought to life in an incredible new production. The cast is superb and staging is phenomenal. A must see!

Don't see it if You absolutely hate the show from previous productions or the movie. Cannot sit through long shows, the show runs 2 hours 55 min.

See it if You enjoy cheap jokes, poorly written book, music & lyrics.

Don't see it if Avoid this show at all costs. One of the worst shows I have ever seen.

Also We left at intermission and do not regret this decision. This musical does not deserve to be in a Broadway theater. This is the worst show I have seen in a long time.... Read more Read less

See it if You want to see a thought provoking show about love and beauty and the obsession of beauty.

Don't see it if You don’t like shows with LGBTQ themes/ love stories. Themes about beauty and aging annoy you.

Also I really enjoyed this play a lot, I am a huge fan of Joshua Harmon’s other plays that premiered at Roundabout “Significant Other” and “Bad Jews,” this show didn’t disappoint. Idina Menzel along with the rest of the cast bring this story to life. The theme really makes you think about why beauty and age effect the ways people fall in and out of love.... Read more Read less

See it if You want to see a brilliant all star cast take on this classic play. The show is thought-provoking as well as hilarious. A must see!

Don't see it if Anything dealing with gay themes aren’t your thing. If you can’t sit through 110 min of show with no intermission this won’t be for you.

See it if You want to see an interesting take on a self discovery story. The show has very interesting storytelling methods with metaphors & flashback

Don't see it if You are easily bored, this show takes a while to pick up. The run time is only 90 min but it felt longer.

Also Rebecca Naomi Jones again amazes me with her skills! The story taking place in Coney Island was very interesting to me as I live 10 min from CI. The rebuilding after the fire in 1911 and comparison to super storm sandy was a great way to show this woman’s growth as a person and her rebuilding her life.... Read more Read less

See it if You want to experience a great piece of work told by two brilliant actors.

Don't see it if You don’t want to use your mind to bring these stories to life.

Also I was blown away by this play and the stories they told. Performed brilliantly by Jake Gyllenhaal & Tom Sturridge they bring these stories to life. A must see!... Read more Read less

See it if you want to see two actors at the top of their game absolutely deliver stellar performances.

Don't see it if Nudity, cursing or vulgar speech bothers you.

Also I went in to Frankie & Johnny not knowing anything about this play and ended up loving every minute of it. Audra McDonald is at the top of her game in this play and has incredible chemistry with the fantastic Michael Shannon. A must see for me, especially since this is a very limited run.... Read more Read less

See it if you like intriguing dramas about the coming together of two strangers after a death and their sexual chemistry that follows.

Don't see it if If you do not like long drawn out dramas that you really have to follow along with.

Also A Tour de Force performance by Adam Driver in this interesting production of Burn/ This. Mr. Driver absolutely kills it in this play, on the other side I felt Kerri Russel's (while phenomenal in mostly everything she does) performance was very awkward. She didn't seem invested in the play and her pronunciation of the dialogue made it difficult to invest in her performance. This show was very intriguing to me, while not the best play I have ever seen it was enjoyable and really made you think about why two people come together in the first place. Sometimes is just fate that brings people together.... Read more Read less

See it if You want to see a brilliant piece of theater. Incredible writing, staging, acting, music, lyrics & direction. A must see!

Don't see it if Please just see it.... it’s mind blowing

See it if You want to have a really fun time at the theater. Alex Brightman is incredible as the title character. Really fun staging too.

Don't see it if You absolutely hated the Beetlejuice movie, cannot sit through another movie to musical adaptation.

Also I Really went into this show not expecting to like it at all, boy was I pleasantly surprised. Not only is the show hilarious, it’s a really fun time at the theater. While some of the score/ music & lyrics are not well written there are many standouts. Alex Brightman is Everything you want in the title role and more! He is absolutely incredible and definitely deserves his Tony Nomination. Think more people should give the show a chance.... Read more Read less

See it if you want to laugh your ass off for 2 hours & 30 Mins. You want to see a great musical comedy which was a breath of fresh air. Great Acting!

Don't see it if You absolutely hated the movie this show is based off. Do not like the musical comedy genre. Some okay music that fell flat.

Also I was so pleasantly surprised with Tootsie The Musical when I saw the production yesterday. All star performance from the always incredible Santino Fontana, he is a star! His turn as Tootsie is near perfection. I cannot say how much fun this musical is, I laughed so hard for the entire running time of the show. If I would say one bad thing about this show is that the music/lyrics could have been better. While some songs were great, others lacked the pzazz. All in all this is a must see!... Read more Read less

See it if You want to see a brilliant unique take on a R&H classic. Beautiful staging, lighting, acting/singing, orchestrations.

Don't see it if You are an absolute lover of the original big broadway Oklahoma. Cannot sit through long shows.

Also I was completely blown away by Daniel Fish’s production of R&H Oklahoma! To take a well known piece like this and strip it down gives you just what you want, a well told story with excellent show-stopping songs. I hope this show is recognized big time at the Tony Awards this year. Bravo to the incredible cast, crew, production team of this show. I can’t wait to go back!... Read more Read less

See it if You are a fan of the original production or like me a big Sondheim fan.

Don't see it if You want a well thought out musical.

Also As a huge Sondheim fan this show fell so flat for me. It was confusing, cliched & slow moving. Definitely not Sondheim's best work.... Read more Read less

See it if You want to have an enjoyable night in the theater. A fan of the previous off broadway & NJ productions. Enjoy quirky stories with fun music

Don't see it if You are a stickler for perfect lyrics, music and book writing. Are tired of the teenage High School drama.

Also I went into Be More Chill having not read the book it’s based on, not ever listening to the previous off broadway cast recording and I was pleasantly surprised how much I enjoyed this show. The quirky music along with the story of wanting to be popular but finding out you’re perfect the way you are worked incredibly well. I will say the show could have benefited from an additional lyriscts to edit and or remove some songs that didn’t quite make sense. Tony committee please recognize the incredible George Salazar for his beautiful portrayal of Michael... I’ll be singing “Michael in the Bathroom” all day today. Go see this show!... Read more Read less

See it if You absolutely love The Temptations or the Motown Era. Want to hear incredible voices.

Don't see it if You saw Motown on Broadway and didn’t care for it.

Also This show was enjoyable for the most part but it’s badically Motown the Musical under a new name. Ain’t To Proud was missing a wow factor for me, besides that the music is obviously incredible and the actors playing each Temptation is fantastic. I must shout out Ephram Sykes for his phenomenal take on David Ruffin.... Read more Read less

See it if You want to see top notch performances by Ethan Hawks & Paul Dano. If you enjoy family dramas this is an interesting one.

Don't see it if You don’t enjoy family dramadies with a slow moving act 1. Some of the jokes don’t land well. Would benefit as being a one act play.

See it if You want to see some amazing performances vocally in a play. Enjoy thought provoking plays about The LGBTQ community and religious beliefs.

Don't see it if You feel like you have seen too many plays about religion and the LGBTQ community. Cannot sit through a show with no intermission.

Also I enjoyed this play a lot more than I expected to. The acting by all the actors were near perfect and their vocals were outstanding. My only downfall with this show was I predicted the ending as soon as one of the characters was introduced. Definitely worth seeing though!... Read more Read less

See it if You absolutely love Cher and want to see her career highlights and misteps in 2 1/2 hours.

Don't see it if You absolutely hate Cher and jukebox musicals.

Also I am a huge Cher fan and this show brought a smile to my face. The three actresses who share the role of Cher during different periods of time were absolutely incredible. Shout out to another stellar performance by Stephanie J. Block, this woman can do no wrong! The way Cher’s songs are intertwined within the story works so great here. A few trimmings to the book and maybe a song or two could have helped move the story a long better but all in all this was a great show. I definitely recommend this show to any theatergoer and any fan of Cher.... Read more Read less

See it if You want to see a very funny play with an important message. Incredible acting by entire cast. Brilliantly written!

Don't see it if You hate plays that are both funny and have dramatic moments. Shows without an intermission annoy you.

Also I have one more thing to say. BRING THIS INCRDDIBLE PLAY TO BROADWAY! It’s an important play that needs to be seen by many many people. Bravo to them entire cast, crew and team behind this play. A must see!... Read more Read less

See it if You want to see the musical comedy genre brought to life in such an incredible musical. Great acting, great singing, great music and lyrics.

Don't see it if You absolutely hate shows based around teenagers, the lgbtq community or comedies.

Also Going into this performance I had no idea what to expect of this show. I saw the Thanksgiving day Parade performance and was pleasantly surprised at how entertaining that performance was. I immediately bought tickets for the next day and it was well worth it!! This show is hilarious and has an important message or inclusion to boot. The casting for this production is perfection! Every character has a great storyline and each works well off each other: The music and lyrics works perfectly with the book which makes this musical comedy soar! I really think this show could become the sleeper hit of the 2018/2019 season on Broadway! I’m very impressed, bravo to the entire creative team, cast and crew.... Read more Read less

See it if You have been a fan of Torch Song (off Broadway) or the original trilogy. The cast is perfect and helps bring this story to life.

Don't see it if Absolutely hate straight plays that are a bit long and tackle family issues, the LGBTQ community and adoption.

See it if You want to see the continuation of the first “love play.” The acting is great and the staging is great.

Don't see it if You don’t like plays set during the segregation era.

Also I was disappointed in this show while the staging was great and the acting was A+ the story felt forced and pieces together quickly. I was a HUGE fan of the first “Love Play” Sugar in Our Wounds, so I was looking forward to this one. Unfortunately I felt let down with this play.... Read more Read less

See it if you absolutely loved the Pretty Woman movie, all the iconic scenes and clothing are included in this production.

Don't see it if you absolutely hated the movie as this isn't much different from that. If you enjoy really high quality musical theater this is not that.

Also I enjoyed this cute show but unfortunately it falls flat in a couple of areas. 80% of the music is terribly written, I think Bryan Adams could have done a million times better with the score, but with that being said there are some standout numbers. Andy Karl can make any role worth seeing and he never disappoints. Samantha Barks was incredible as Vivian and bravo to Orefh who was a complete standout from the rest of the ensemble members. In my opinion the show would benefit from being a 1 act musical or a straight play. The show felt a little rushed to Broadway and needed tweaking.... Read more Read less

See it if You are an absolute Donna Summer lover and want to hear her songs sang beautifully by 3 incredible actresses.

Don't see it if You appreciate live theater. This production needs major work. Staging is lackluster. Story is very rushed and the book isn’t well written.

Also Shout out to Ariana DeBose & Storm Lever for giving 110% during these performances. Both of these ladies are incredibly talened and deserved all the applause.
Besides these two ladies there isn’t much good to say about this show.... Read more Read less

See it if You want to see an ambitious play with a powerful story. Plays performed in ASL intrigue you.

Don't see it if You get confused easily or do not want to over think a story.

Also This play has a powerful message and by trimming they story it would be that much more interesting a story. There is just too much going on currently in the story to focus on the important parts in which the playwright emphasizes. Making this play one act would also benefit it. The actors are incredible and give an all star performance. Shout out to the brilliant actor Russel Harvard who performed with such intense emotion.... Read more Read less

See it if You want to see a great little play about the LGBTQ community and the start of the resistance in the UK.

Don't see it if You do not want to see a story about the LGBTQ experience in the UK. The play is in a small theater and sometimes hard to see.

See it if You like thought provoking new works that are relevant to the world today.

Don't see it if You hate plays that make you think too much. You really have to pay attention and put your thinking caps on for this one.

See it if A true story that is riveting, profound and still relevant. A must see new play for anyone interested in the civil rights movement.

Don't see it if You absolutely do not want to learn about the hard times of the Little Rock 9 and the struggles to integrate the schools in Arkansas.

See it if you want to see one of the most brilliantly staged, acted & directed plays this year. This intense play is a must see. You cannot look away!

Don't see it if Blood, Nudity or seeing a play in a foreign language will annoy you. This show deals with Nazi Germany if this is a trigger for you dont go

Also Ivo Van Hoves production of “The Damned” at the Park Avenue Armory is NOT to be missed. This intense, powerful and moving story is completely mind blowing from start to finish. Told completely in French and the unique staging brings this all to life.... Read more Read less

See it if You want to see an incredible piece of theater involving a love story that couldn’t really come alive during the Civil War.

Don't see it if You absolutely cannot stand civil war era dramas. One act plays are tough for you to sit through.

Also A powerful beautiful story directed and performed exquisitely. Hope to see this play transfer to Broadway for a larger audience. Bring tissues with you to the theater this show will have you crying by the end. A must see!!!... Read more Read less
