About the Show

'Emojiland" is a new, electric ensemble piece about a diverse community of archetypes who take one another at face value.

From the show:

Not to be confused with, and very much unlike The Emoji Movie, Emojiland is an electric ensemble piece about a diverse community of archetypes who take one another at face value: a smiling face dealing with depression; a princess who doesn’t want a prince; a skull dying for deletion; a nerd face too smart for his own good; a face with sunglasses who can’t see past his own reflection; and a police officer and construction worker who just want to work together. When a software update threatens to destroy life as they know it, Emojiland faces the most fundamental questions a society – and a heart – can face: Who are we? And who matters?

Cartoonish, Entertaining, Great singing, Quirky, Clever

See it if A top tier cast perform in a cartoonish, yet strangely profound musical. Themes of xenophobia, depression, infidelity, LGBT love.

Don't see it if Emojiland is not for everyone. The humor is broad and juvenile. The set and costumes are gaudy. Think Be More Chill meets Sausage Party. Read more

Fluffy, Refreshing, Great singing, Entertaining

Don't see it if Not for those who don’t have a cell phone 🤪

Repetitive, Quirky, Indulgent, Clever, Ambitious

See it if enjoy funny new musicals, like quirky settings & odd characters, curious about how emojis are depicted, tame love story plotlines

Don't see it if not a fan of new musicals, don't like hackneyed plots, don't want to see Ann Harada's talents wasted, no desire to see emojis humanized

Quirky, Great singing, Funny, Entertaining, Clever

See it if you want cleverly themed, costumed entertainment addressing some of relevant issues. Music was enjoyable and the cast was just fabulous!

Don't see it if you don’t understand emojis, flashing, strobe lights and dizzying stage.

Great music, Thought-provoking, Cliched, Relevant, Great singing

See it if you can look past the surface plot and ponder the show's deeper meanings about society, politics, and systems. So much was allegorical

Don't see it if you want something purely fluffy and fun. I found it a bit depressing. Read more

Quirky, Relevant, Clever

See it if You like upbeat musicals. Follows a traditional arc but content fresh to the smart phone age. Well staged.

Don't see it if You want a deep show or serious brain food. It’s pure fun with very talented cast.

Great staging, Funny, Entertaining, Great acting, Clever

See it if you enjoy fun stylized musicals (like Little Shop of Horrors) done by brilliant singers, enjoy laser effects, want something fun and light.

Don't see it if you don't like musicals or comedies, only like traditional Broadway shows, want deep meaning in a show, don't like small intimate theaters.
