Enchanting, Entertaining, Great singing, Refreshing, Funny

See it if you want a laid back evening of good fun. If you remember the 50s you can add a plus since you will be walking down memory lane.

Don't see it if subtle commentary about the role of women isn't your thing. If you can't handle a play that appears to accept the social mores of the time.

Clever, Delightful, Entertaining, Funny, Relevant

See it if u r interested in seeing a refreshing and fun new look at an old way of living. lots of reminiscing & amazement of how things "used to be."

Don't see it if u prefer a more diverse cast (this is all-women). if u r looking for a large-scale production. if u aren't interested in women's issues.
