Clever, Ambitious, Great staging, Great writing, Entertaining

See it if you relate to or want to know what was happening in politics, work order, music and USA society between 1945-69. Energetic performer shines.

Don't see it if you expect a complete review of this period - this touches on many items but only briefly and rarely in any depth, using many projections.
