A Letter to Harvey Milk

See it if you like a jewish and gay storyline that is very ethnic.

Don't see it if you are offended by many yiddish references

See it if you would enjoy watching the development of friendship between two people with little in common, set to music.

Don't see it if sensitive topics bother you.

Also For me this show was like a good mean, i.e., as time went on, y satisfaction increased. The female lead has a wonderful voice, perfect for theatre. There are some well-placed comedic moments to offset more intense or somber ones.... Read more Read less

Also It starts out as a simplistic casual 1986 somewhat funny story and winds up with a deep message. Because it touched on uncomfortable periods of history, because it dealt with family expectations and family values in a time less accepting than the present it brought tears to my eyes... Read more Read less

See it if You are open to history

Don't see it if You are looking for deeper meaning

See it if You want to see a new musical that a times seems dated but could also be relevant with recent school shootings. hold hands not guns!

Don't see it if You need a flashy musical, an intermission or an interpreter.

Also Honestly I didn’t realize this was a musical until I was in the theatre. It would actually work better as an intelligent thought provoking play. They have to make an effort to keep on topic with the letter to Harvey Milk. At times it’s as if they’re having a separate conversation about something else and finally use a lasso to bring Harvey Milk back to the script. While I like the character of Frannie, her songs seemed odd and unnecessary except to add some comic relief (I’ll also say offensive since she makes no attempt at redemption). Ok she’s dead so her bigoted views died with her. The scene at Plotkins seemed like a flashy musical number which was fine but seemed out of context. The ending worked and the minimalist set was perfect.... Read more Read less
