Great music, Great performances, A gem

See it if you love musical theater and enjoy delicate love letters to musicals creation, beautifully written, smartly directed for a small space.

Great singing, Great staging, Entertaining, Delightful

See it if you like musical theater. Some terrific performances & a great score. Extra enjoyable for theater buffs who will recognize real people.

Don't see it if theater has to be big for you to enjoy it. Much to be said for intimate performances with unamplified sound in a small space.

Delightful, Entertaining, Great writing, Great acting, Great singing

See it if you appreciate the triple talents of a cast in telling the personal story of an award winning lyricist w/ good direction and choreography.

Don't see it if you cannot enjoy a musical on a small stage with a limited set and a small orchestra.

Great writing, Moving, Absorbing, Great singing, Entertaining

See it if you like forgotten "gems." A lovely look at Kleban with an excellent book that uses his songs well. Small cast really clicks; I loved it.

Don't see it if you prefer large-scale productions. This is simple, bare-bones on a tiny stage. But it works great. The book and Kleban's songs really shine

Great acting, Great singing, Entertaining, Delightful

See it if You like light fun shows, want to learn about a lesser known figure in the theatre, want a palate cleanser for the current season.

Don't see it if You don't like musicals, don't like smaller productions, don't like off-off Broadway shows. Read more

Intelligent, Entertaining, Great staging, Great singing, Great acting

See it if You are a fan of lesser known show biz stories. You enjoy terrific actors, singers and songs.

Don't see it if You prefer powerful books. The weakest part of the show is the book. Or if you want glitzy productions. Read more
