Great singing, Nice staging, dancing, Fluffy, Story was not great but show was still enjoyable

See it if you enjoy a pleasant, silly, romantic musical. Beautiful costumes evoking the 1950s. Singing was excellent. Jason Gotay impressive.

Don't see it if you want a relevant show that makes sense. Not the best Encores! show, but still fun. A bit too long. Read more

Entertaining, Dated, Clever, Great singing, Fluffy

See it if you enjoy well-sung stagings of classic musicals. This is light, enjoyable fare with a wonderful cast. Irving Berlin's score still shines.

Don't see it if a somewhat dated musical comedy from the golden age isn't your thing. This isn't the show if you're looking for an edgy, modernized revival.

Entertaining, Cliched, Overrated, Great singing

See it if Encores can do no wrong. Much talent gets to shine Sound system so improved. Male trio got to me. Dancing brings back memories

Don't see it if Seat location matters much. No Ethel Merman I prefer the first production of Call Me Madam by Encores..

Cute, Charming, Vintage, Great singing, Fun

See it if This isn't neuroscience, just plain old fashioned fun. Great singing. Just top notch.

Don't see it if You don't want the gift of a little Irving Berlin--feel good music. It's a warm fuzzy experience, but not profound​.

Great singing, Entertaining, Delightful, Great dancing, Relevant

See it if You love Encores! shows, Carmen Cusak, great singing/dancing. Encores! productions are always charming & fun. Political but still relevant.

Don't see it if You want a fully staged show. Show is dated but has a current feel. A bit sexist, old-fashioned, cliched, & cookie-cutter/predictable.

Entertaining, Dated, Great acting, Great dancing, Fluffy

See it if love Irving Berlin & would like a flashback to an era where gentle satire was sufficient to capture the most egregious of political faux pas

Don't see it if you dislike predictable plots or minimalist sets
