Delightfully quirky song-cycle with amusing narration

See it if Michael Friedman's songs on loss are particularly poignant after his death from AIDS last year. Nailed by excellent cast.

Don't see it if A small show in a big space. Hip audience. The Lobby Project before the show was also quite moving and pleasant.

Great writing, Profound, Resonant

See it if you're familiar (or wish to be better acquainted) with Michael Friedman and his excellent scores, performed by a pitch-perfect cast.

Don't see it if docu-musicals don't interest you, or a concert setting impedes your enjoyment.

Clever, Quirky, Slow, Overrated

See it if You like revue style shows. Little snippets of people discussing things they lost. Clever, compelling music. Funny.

Don't see it if Weak voices and slow. 75min felt much longer. No follow-through plot. Jumped around from snippet to snippet. Weakest of Encores! shows.
