Absorbing, Ambitious, Dated, Great singing, Resonant

See it if Remarkable casting; rich storytelling; smart use and styling of the Dylan song material

Don't see it if Most popular Dylan songs inspired audience members around me to sing along which is an obvious distraction; heavy story not for everyone

Absorbing

See it if Heartache to heartache, Bob Dylan songs weaved in a house of lonely strangers each with their dark pasts and potentially grimmer futures.

Don't see it if Financial troubles, sexual assault, racism, mental/health issues, among other losses are too depressing for you. Gun/shots are triggering. Read more

Great singing, Intense, Slow, Profound, Ambitious

See it if this is a play w music - not a musical. Fascinating arrangements of Dylan. The singers & musicians are terrific.

Don't see it if the show is painful and sad, a lyrical evocation of the Depression that offers little in the way of hope. there's a bit too much fussing Read more

Cliched, Disappointing, Great singing, Great music, Intelligent

See it if You want to hear deep Dylan cuts beautifully arranged and sung. You want to see a Depression era play with some great acting and uneven plot

Don't see it if You like your musicals to have plot advanced by song or song motivated by plot. You're expecting a jukebox musical. Read more
