Good Morning Miss America

See it if You want to see vignettes of a married couple getting older & older, forgetting things, medical problems, etc. Feels very real.

Don't see it if Can be slightly amateurish in spots, but overall entertaining & its heart is in the right spot. 80 minutes flies by.

See it if you want to support a production team that really wants this to be good and does everything they were taught(wrongly) makes a show watchable

Don't see it if you have no tolerance for bad decision on top of bad decision

Also every decision made by this production team is bad. This includes writing direction, sound design, lighting, sets and acting.

There are some elements of the second act that could make for a good play, but right now they go no where.

The last few scenes made me think I was watching the NeverEnding Story as the play ended, then ended again, and then again.

The production team really wanted this to be good and I give them credit for that, but they made no good decisions. The worst was probably miking the actors. Echos are not a good thing in this space and good actors should easily be able to fill the space with their voice alone.... Read more Read less

See it if you want to see a moving play about you or your parents getting old which we all can relate to.

Don't see it if you only like light entertainment or you are not interested to think about how it might be when you or your parents get old.

Also At our performance the audience loved it so much that very quickly pretty much everybody got up to give them a well deserved standing ovation which actually moved the main actress very, very much. Even my husband - who usually rarely gives a standing ovation - was one of the first up and kept telling me on our way home how much he liked this play and how good the actors were.... Read more Read less

See it if This is a very true-to-life depiction of a woman struggling to deal with her emotions of having aging parents. See it if that's who you are

Don't see it if You like big staging, a big cast, good sound system, a musical or an upbeat show. this is a show that was well acted but difficult to watch.

Also After the show everyone was arguing- (me included) over people saying this is my life and it is based on me and it was as if i had written it as if it was my story of my relationship with my parents. many times i almost left as it hit too close to home. The actress came out after the show who played the mother, and we had a long chat an I told her how realistic the show was.... Read more Read less
