In this new Off-Broadway musical comedy an everyday American bartender is thrust into the British Royal family. More…
The British Royal House has died out, and the only living heir is an American bartender with a heart of imitation gold metal-like substance. With the help of her devoted royal staff, Pam Duffy must take on the duties of Queen and prove herself to be a suitable monarch before the scheming Lady Fenella de Dieul can unseat her and to do that, she has to stay out of her own way.
See it if If you like a king Ralph theme to music. Some really good songs and some actors were good.
Don't see it if First 50 minutes were good, last 20 of ist act got slow. Second act needs to be reworked.
See it if This is a 2hr plus show that should be 60 min. A slight cuteness doesn’t overcome the underwhelming-ness. Most of the audience left at int.
Don't see it if You want high quality theater or didn’t like the movie King Ralph.... same plot.
See it if high spirited musical tells story of unpolished NJ cocktail waitress made Queen of England; genial/winning performances
Don't see it if predictable plot as King Ralph redux; singing not at high level, tunes meh, lyrics simplistic, 2 pianos/drums accompaniment thin
See it if you enjoy a light comedy about an unlikely person becoming queen and what results. Some cute songs, not memorable. Nice use of small stage.
Don't see it if you like sophisticated comedy or a big theater. There is no elevator in this small theater so there are steps.
See it if you want to see a play that is mildly entertaining with a cast that really tries their best. Needs a rewrite and a partial recast.

See it if you accept amateurish singing and production values, very silly, non-nuanced farcical script with a cast that puts forth maximum effort.
Don't see it if you expect a "professional" presentation, some nuance in a farce, adequate singing ability and a spoof with consistent laughs.
See it if It’s a cute show with potential but it needs serious trimming and dances on the edge of “corny”
Don't see it if Remember in the show Friends when the gang had to endure Joey’s off broadway plays? By the end of act 1, it was like watching a Joey show.

See it if It wasn't very good but I had a great time. It was pretty much high school quality but I really did enjoy it. Does that make sense??
Don't see it if You want a polished production. You want good music. The music was really bad. The story actually was pretty good. Better as a play.

Don't see it if You simply crave for grand staging. Give it a chance!
See it if You want to see an underdeveloped and totally unbelievable musical with some fine cast members and some not so. Good band.
Don't see it if You have reasonable expectations of off broadway musicals. Like they should have some sense of verisimilitude & maybe some production values
See it if you are OK with seeing well-crafted pro-level new musical material being introduced in rather primitive community-theater "trappings"
Don't see it if you can't focus on the witty material and energetic acting well enough to disregard the primitive set/costuming/lighting/venue!

Don't see it if Expecting a polished production. Lots of raw edges to be worked out. Maybe should've been billed as a workshop production?
Also Imho, The show chooses the wrong protagonist. There isn't much endeari... Read more Read less
