Great singing, Funny, Unconventional, Thought-provoking, Entertaining

See it if you want to see an innovative work from a black queer writer, which discusses very relevant questions, yet still very entertaining

Don't see it if you mind the graphic language or LGBTQ related themes

Raunchy, Thought-provoking, Great singing, Great acting

See it if One gay man's experience told very powerfully and dramatically. Fantastic cast! Great music, direction & choreography​.

Don't see it if Excessive profanity and explicit sexual language is not your cup of tea. It wasn't clear if there was a catharsis at the end.

Entertaining, Relevant, Great staging, Great singing, Edgy

See it if a perspective not often represented in a musical with great music and a fantastic lead performance. funny but then thoughtful.

Don't see it if explicit lyrics and subject matter may not be for all. second half could be trimmed a bit as it felt repetitive.
