See it if you are open to having religion as the punchline. I wasn't expecting much from this show but enjoyed the humor in it. God was awesome..
Don't see it if you take religion seriously. The show is not for everyone. It has some slow moments, but the funny parts make up for it. Needs work. Read more

See it if Your not offended by irrelevant jokes and want to laugh

See it if If discovering that God is a yenta and she lives on Mars with her alcoholic son Jesus makes you want to know more, then this is for you.
Don't see it if If you're easily offended by disrespect for religion (and science too!). But it's really too absurd and wacky to really offend. I laughed.
See it if You like something different! GOD OF MARZ is funny, serious, political, religious, parody and acrobatic all rolled into one.
Don't see it if You are looking for a typical play. Don't see it if you don't want to have religion and politics made fun of ...

See it if you want a goofy little show with a mish-mash of entertaining acts within an odd story. It was a weird show, but I found myself laughing.
Don't see it if you don't want to deviate from the typical. Or if jokes about Jesus or religion bothers you. Read more

"As for the show's humor, there were moments when Sheen should have played her emotions straight instead of going for laughs (a.k.a. the #1 rule of comedy acting) -- but there's time for her to grow into that. Additionally, the comedic concepts in 'God of Marz' could use more development. The show is on the cusp of being a funny, zany absurdist romp, but it doesn't have enough internal logic in its script to justify its more inventive flourishes. With tweaks, that could definitely happen."

"A throwback to the wacky, farcical satires familiar to fans of the long-gone Theatre of the Ridiculous, albeit without a whiff of its wit or comically gifted clowns...A farrago of far too many farcical misfires…At moments you can see how a clever director might have made some of this…work. Unfortunately, whatever subversive humor is trying to break out gets no help from Girón's clumsy timing, uninspired staging, and creative imagination. God knows what Ludlam would have made of 'God of Marz.'"

"At a recent performance there were indeed a handful of walkouts during the 75-minute show, but one might suspect that it was the result of boredom and not provocation...The performers have to concentrate their efforts on mining laughs from the leaden material, and only occasionally do they succeed...Not enough, however, to make 'God of Marz' incendiary, titillating, or aesthetically thrilling. Worst of all, it is as funny as an end-of-show 'Saturday Night Live' sketch."
