See it if you want to see a highly relevant revival of Vonnegut with great performance by Jason O’Connell as Harold Ryan

Don't see it if you don't like Vonnegut, or if you're not a fan of cynical humor

Dizzying, Quirky, Relevant, Great acting, Entertaining

See it if Definitely see it if you're a Kurt Vonnegut fan! This is the wackiest show I've seen in a long time but somehow so relevant in today's time.

Don't see it if you are easily offended or don't like to see anything 'out of the box". Show is almost 2.5 Hr.

Entertaining, Great acting, Funny, Great writing, Thought-provoking

See it if you want to see an entertaining, funny, surreal, still relevant play superbly acted - staging great too.

Don't see it if you must have a 'rational' plotline and don't enjoy somewhat surrealistic material (Albee? Genet? Ionesco?)

Great acting, Entertaining, Thought-provoking, Quirky, Strange

See it if you like absurdity. you are okay not truly understanding the point/direction or are a Vonnegut whisperer. Great acting and hilarious moments

Don't see it if incredible displays of caricatured male brutishness will disturb you rather than amuse. you don't like dark humor

Entertaining, Funny, Great acting, Great writing, Quirky

See it if you want to be truly entertained. It's about a dad returning after missing for years and the afterlife - all of which has comical effects

Don't see it if you're looking for a more traditional comedy
