See it if overall entertaining enough. The theme is current.

Don't see it if overacted. Issue that's been done to death lately and not in a particularly original way.

See it if you are a subscriber to Playwrights Horizons and can's use the tickets for another production. One of PH's worst shows ever!

Don't see it if you want to keep the ticket money in your wallet and want to do something meaningful with the two hours you will waste at "Hir."

See it if Entertaining performances, deftly satirizing today's gender politics. At times laugh out loud funny.

Don't see it if Ultimately doesn't really go anywhere, though all the trendiest terms are name-checked. Not sure what Mac was trying to say.

Don't see it if lots of sexual politics

See it if You like edgy material. You like absurdist humor. You like feminist empowerment. You like great acting.

Don't see it if You like safe material.

See it if you like repetitive, cringe-y performances, a plot that has "deep" content but fails to deliver, if you love all things LGBTQ.

See it if want to see characters you haven't seen before and a difficult topic handled in a way you wouldn't expect. Dis-functionality at its best.
