Confusing, Dated, Thought-provoking

See it if You enjoy actors playing lots of roles in an intimate setting and enjoy a story based on a historical event

Don't see it if You want an uplifting deep story that is not confusing

It is as if the pages of the script fell to the floor and were reassembled at random, Pointless and inept dance numbers break the flow, Waste of some talented performers

See it if You know the performers; you think a Jewish tailor would tell his son not to become a lawyer because the lawyers in Germany were more honest

Don't see it if Coherent timelines matter Read more

Absorbing, Great acting, Moving

See it if you would like to see a show where you know the ending but the characters from that time and place are brought to life with great emotion

Don't see it if you want a fast paced non human interest show about a time in history or don't like immigrant stories

Historical, Ambitious, Insipid, Cliched, Demanding

See it if actors playing several roles is your thing; you don't know of the tragic event; ambitious staging in a small black box space turns you on.

Don't see it if loads of narration, pretentious dance breaks, sloppy staging, and scripts that ask actors to accomplish way too much bogs you down.

Absorbing, Thought-provoking, Historically accurate moments, Relevant

See it if You are interested in this tragic event or seeing stories about historical moments in our country. It is well done.

Don't see it if You don't like people playing multiple parts, or if you prefer a linear story.
