His Royal Hipness Lord Buckley

See it if You are a particular fan of Lord Buckley. The musical interludes were good.

Don't see it if The performer is talented but I never felt a connection to him. He was in his own world. He ranted and raved and made me uncomfortable.

See it if you want to experience an engaging, high energy, topical, cabaret style performance; great jazz/beebop from a wonderful trio of musicians.

Don't see it if you don't like Lord Buckley; satirical, non-fiction, political theater touching on past and present; you dislike jazz and intimate settings.

Also It took a little while to warm up to Jake Broder/Lord Buckley's character, but once I did, I loved this show. It is fun, intelligent, quirky and well worth the 90 minutes. Some people left at intermission and have no idea what they missed in the very entertaining second act.... Read more Read less

See it if you are interested in an iconic comic from the hipster era; enjoy classic jazz/be bop, talented musicians; you appreciate intelligent humor

Don't see it if the hipster era holds no interest for you; you don't like be bop music or hipster slang; you are not interested in Lord Buckley

See it if If you like humor, jazz, hipness, coolness with a great message!

Don't see it if If you want classic theater in a regular theater setting.

See it if you like jazz and/or are nostalgic about 1940's hipsterdom.

Don't see it if you are looking for a conventional show with story line, character development and an arc.

See it if you want a different show. Buckley's 'hipster' lingo predates wrappers of today. Some very cleaver and original stuff.

Don't see it if don't like jazz music. Timely political update might not sit well with the Trumpettes.

See it if you enjoy a cozy night club setting, want to listen to a master story teller & his hip news man, accompanied by fantastic musicians.

Don't see it if don't have the energy to pay attention as the stories are intertwined with history and politics; or prefer a regular audience setting.

Also The opening music was superb. It did take a few minutes to catch on to the format - but once you engage, it is quite the ride.

Jake Broder as Buckley, is fast, funny, and bright. He and his hip news man, Michael Lanahan, are totally in-syncg with each other.

A small part of the audience did not return after intermission - but I had a fun time, was very impressed - and a few good laughs.... Read more Read less

See it if You want to experience "hip" talking & writing. Jazz trio was talented as was Lord Buckley, but...

Don't see it if You don't like cabaret, and don't relate to an archaic way of talking "jazzy."

See it if Best if you leave after first half ( which I liked)-- rapidly downhill after that. Annoying overuse of supposed hipster rap

Don't see it if Thought it would give any idea of Buckley or his material.

Also Backup band is excellent. Would have preferred if he shut up and they played... Read more Read less

See it if Don't waste your time. The only good thing about this show is the 3 piece combo band.

Don't see it if Just don't!!!

See it if You enjoy cabaret style venue, decent jazz trio and well performed one man show with a few laughs

Don't see it if This is a dull show. Interesting idea but doesn't work. Hipster dialogue & Buckley character interesting at 1st but gets boring

See it if Really great jazz music and a hipster transported from another era - both cool and funny. Smart comic relief to the November doldrums!

Don't see it if You don't like humor that is thought-provoking, with wit.

See it if you like whip-smart funny dialogue on the tilt, something off the wall - hip history with swinging jazz and want to die laughing!!

Don't see it if If you are a little slow on the uptake, not prepared to be hip or lack a real sense of humor or supported you-know-who!

See it if you enjoy an homage to Lordy Buckley, and some relevant thought provoking comic jabs at our current socio-political climate (& great music.)

Don't see it if you do not like political theatre or are confused by a fusion of homage, current political statement, & jazz.

See it if Great music.

Don't see it if Not into so called hipster genre and Political correctness disguised as high camp

See it if You'd like to see a legendary 50s hipster time-travel to 2016, and weigh in on Trump and more.

Don't see it if You're not already intrigued, if not fascinated, by the original pre-Billyburg hipster era.

Also Alas, the hip story-telling of Lord Buckley hasn't aged well. In this faux-cabaret show his set-piece stories, like a hipster version of A Christmas Carol, are well-performed but ultimately not very funny. The show was most successful when it departed from the Buckley oeuvre to address the modern day. As when select braggartly lines from WaltWhitman's Song of Myself were hip- recited, with obvious allusions to our pres-elect.About a quarter of the crowd left at intermission, sad to say.... Read more Read less

See it if you want to learn a bit about a comedian from yesteryear that influenced many of todays comics. Good music.

Don't see it if You don't like spoken work and the sound of the hipster "Beats"
