Don't see it if You have a limited attention span.. It's 3 hours long.

Don't see it if You are not a fan of the movie.. It's a close interpretation.. Music and all

See it if You are looking for a good show for girls night out. It's not really a "play" nor are you actually gonna get any bedroom tips. It's just fun

Don't see it if You are looking for an engaging or fast paced plot

See it if You really want to see Cicely Tyson or James Earl Jones live... They are both super talented but the story crawls.

Don't see it if You are looking for engaging plot or to be moved. A 90 minute lookyloo at big celebrities is the only draw here

See it if You are going out with a group and are up for an interactive experience. It's fun, it's drunk, but it's still Shakespeare in old english...

Don't see it if You are expecting all out tap dance extravaganza

See it if You are into belabored revivals with no memorable music. Even Kristin Chenowith couldn't save this one....

Don't see it if You have issues with the over acted slapstick type comedy or are looking for more than an old formulaic movie starlet focused plot

See it if You are up for an edgy and dark storyline. You will be made to feel uncomfortable by some of the dialogue and the tension is palpable.

Don't see it if You are looking for light and breezy, or don't want to get emotionally invested in a storyline. Its both amazing and horrifying all at once

See it if You are in the mood for a vaudeville type show that is slap-stick and almost entirely silent clowning. The cast and band are entertaining!

Don't see it if If silly is not your thing..I think if you are in the right mind-set this is a fun and unique show. A nice change from the same old formats

See it if You are into campy, over the top musicals. I get that it's cliched and over acted on purpose, but it misses the mark and lands in corny town

Don't see it if You're looking for a quality theater experience. I found the style off putting and cheesy, but not entertainingly silly-just strained muggin

See it if You are a fan of the Stephen King or movie... Laurie Metcalf as the #1 fan is sooo good while Bruce Willis should stick to action films

Don't see it if You are not into darker themed productions..

See it if You are a fan of the score that is familiar and amazing. This was just a darker production than the movie or previous stagings I have seen.

Don't see it if You are heartless

See it if You are a proud New Yorker or a fan of the old MGM musical format

Don't see it if See it.. It's a classic

Don't see it if You are easily bored or uninterested in Peter Pan themes

Don't see it if The dancing in musicals is not a focal point for you

See it if You are a fan of the movie or really enjoy the gender identification and equality themes.

Don't see it if You are looking for cerebral plot or score, or are not a fan of gender identification themes. Score is good, but thin, so alot of repeats

See it if It's a big splashy production with an amazing and familiar score-if you're a tourist that's not sure where to start-this is a great choice

Don't see it if You can't get behind the concept of a singing phantom

See it if Family friendly fun show.. But totally entertaining for adults.. The Genie is EVERYTHING

Don't see it if Your looking for more mature themes or subject matter

See it if Ok it's a little heavy on the lit references-- but really well acted and interesting twist at the end was EVERYTHING

Don't see it if You want big splashy production or have an irrational dislike for Walt Whitman

See it if You are obsessed with your dog or know people who are-- the dog character is EVERYTHING

Don't see it if I don't really see what the draw would be if you can't relate to the situation the dog creates within her human family..

See it if So it's definitely a unique theater experience-- the story was a bit slow but the set and Chita ( in the lead) were amazing. Story is DARK

Don't see it if You are looking for high energy and light theater experience

See it if If you are into dated old Hollywood musicals.. Tap dancing is same time step over and over
