Great singing, Great staging, Dated, Entertaining

See it if you like old musicals.This one has only 1-2 songs that you might know.Plot is predictable.Performances are wonderful.Choreo is amazing.

Don't see it if you are looking for something challenging.This one is dated, but has some fun things to say about politics.Singing is out of sight!

Great singing, Great dancing, Lovely score, Great orchestrations, Entertaining

See it if you're looking for an old-fashioned musical. Thin plot, some lovely songs and dances, and a happy ending. Great costumes.

Don't see it if you want fast-moving action. However, the Berlin score is well-served by the talented cast.

Dated, Fluffy, Great singing, Engaging, Weak script/great songs

See it if you want an escape. Entertaining Encores! Fun choreog/gr voices (incldg Cusack who hits notes, unlike Merman). Gr costumes. RandyR is wasted

Don't see it if you want substance. CMM is pure fun, w/memorable melodies. Needs cuts. Broad humor. Some lyrics get lost. Gr orchestra. Gotay/Worsham shine.

Funny, Fluffy, Great staging, Quirky, Great singing

See it if you love any of the performers or want to see what City Center is really all about -- putting on a great show

Don't see it if you don't like traditional musical comedies -- there's no stakes here at all.

Delightful, Entertaining, Great singing

See it if you enjoy a funny musical by Irving Berlin. A little dated but still relevant talk of politics. Some very wonderful music. Nice costumes.

Don't see it if you only like modern musicals. Read more
