Great acting, Great staging, Original, Intense, Great singing

See it if you like to see musicals that "break the mold", especially when the performers and stage direction are FABULOUS!

Don't see it if you only like fluffy, old-fashioned musicals and don't enjoy stretching your horizons in this area.

Ambitious, Clever, Great staging, Great writing, Great singing

See it if You like original, creatively staged indie rock musicals based on classic stories (along the lines of Spring Awakening and Rent).

Enchanting, Great staging, Resonant, Great singing

See it if You love the the style of music. If you like creatively staged theatre that gives a new spin on old stories.

Don't see it if you don't like sung-through shows. The plot is pretty simple, but there are moments when it isn't clear what exactly is happening

Entertaining, Great acting, Great staging, Absorbing, Great music

See it if you want to see a well-staged retelling of a classic Greek myth with phenomenal music and a fantastic cast.

Don't see it if you aren't interested in Greek mythology or if you listened to and disliked the concept album.

Surprising, Absorbing, Great acting, Great singing

See it if are looking to see something different and random and want to go in blind and then be surprised by moments of unexpected brilliance

Don't see it if you don't like folky, singer-songwriter type music, you are not interested in seeing something a little different
