See it if Appreciate excellent actors on a tiny stage .
Don't see it if You want a play to be relevant . I expected more from Mike Leigh.
See it if you like a fun "Mad Men" type of play, with a lot of drinking, dancing and wonderful acting and direction.
Don't see it if you like plot, profound revelation or character growth. It is basically a long drunken party with predictable consequences....BUT FUN!
See it if you enjoy brilliantly acted small cast character studies. That 70s Show without the teenagers.
Don't see it if you are interested in stories with big complicated plots. You don't like plays which ask you to form your own ideas about the unanswered.

Don't see it if You didn't dig the 70's.

"'Abigail’s Party' may be the most uncomfortable comedy in New York right now, and I’d sit through it again in a second. Here, humor and unpleasantness are intertwined, and that leads to laughs — many, many laughs — that are part gleeful and part appalled...Though the script is candy for actors, at its core, 'Abigail’s Party' is merely a tale of a gathering gone wrong. Yet while you may have seen much of this before, this one’s still a must-see."
