Ambitious, Confusing, Disappointing, Edgy, Quirky

See it if different theatre experience, want to see good looking muscular men dance on stage.

Don't see it if you are expecting the novel to come to life. Not shockingly good with the themes they could play with and language is confusing

Disappointing, Entertaining, Slow, Thought-provoking

See it if You love the movie and would be interested in seeing a very different take.

Don't see it if You're looking for something similar to the original, or stronger writing and directing (as this lacks both).

Confusing, Disappointing, Overrated, Dizzying

See it if Creative choreography, violent behavior, great men's abs.

Don't see it if If you compare it to 70's film, which was incredible. Dislike men taking on woman's roles. Could not understand this new language.

Slow, Overrated, Indulgent, Disappointing, Confusing

See it if You were a fan of the book or the Kubrick film. Knowing the story will help with the language of the play. A very handsome cast.

Don't see it if You want something exciting & creative. The bar was set high and was let down in a big way. I wanted more but cast did not deliver.

Banal, Cliched, Disappointing, Bad dancing, Worse acting

See it if You Have very low expectations. This production is definitely much worse than the movie/book.

Don't see it if You liked both the book and the movie. This adaptation is amateurish at best and the acting/dancing is totally forgettable. Just don’t go!

Confusing, Disappointing, Excruciating

See it if You enjoy Beethoven, seriously.

Don't see it if You value your time, enjoy understanding the dialogue, like milk, or the color orange, because they will forever be soiled by this turd.

Banal, Confusing, Disappointing, Insipid, Slow

See it if You like hot musclebound guys showing off. (but that's the only thing that will keep your attention...)

Don't see it if you are interested in a plot. Go to a Chippendale show instead.
