Butterfly

See it if There's nothing about this show after the first 10 minutes that I would recommend.

Don't see it if You have ever suffered from any kind of abuse, are sensitive to scenes of cruel violence, are expecting a poetic experience as billed.

See it if You're a fan of Madam Butterfly and great puppetry. Slightly confusing, but the inventive storytelling is definitely worth seeing. Original.

Don't see it if You'd rather go to a more upbeat show. You're not able to handle shows that are too out of the box. You're put off by more mature themes.

See it if you like small-scale shows from fringe festivals, you enjoy shows that leave room for your own interpretation and understanding

Don't see it if you want dialogue and clarity, you want a longer more drawn-out show

See it if you are okay with no dialogue, don't mind interpreting the story told by using physical movement, and don't mind darker subject matters

Don't see it if you want a light show. Show has very mature subject matters. Very inappropriate for children even though there is puppetry.

See it if without words the actors are incredibly expressive and the emotion is even more pronounced. The touching reality of human frailty is amazing

Don't see it if you think puppets are just for fun - one puppet here is used for dramatic and emotional effect

See it if You live history, drama, Lin Manuel Miranda

Don't see it if You hate all musicals

See it if you are a fan of alternative theater; this show is hauntingly beautiful, and no words are spoken.

Don't see it if you like Broadway musicals and heavy drama.
