Insignificance

See it if You want a very cool theatrical experience.

Don't see it if revisionist history isn't your thing.

See it if you enjoy an intelligent play performed in an interesting venue

Don't see it if you are so young that you don't remember anything about the McCarthy era, Marilyn Monroe, Joe DiMaggio or Albert Einstein.

See it if You want to see something off-beat (staged in a hotel room) that deals with quirky, intellectual themes.

Don't see it if You only want the conventional in theater.

See it if you have an interest in history and want to see historical figures acted well.

Don't see it if you don't like site-specific shows. This show does not seem to need to be site-specific, but it is.

See it if like a fun show. Interesting premise, well acted. Good chemistry between actors.

Don't see it if you don't like historical fantasy.

See it if You like unusual settings. Being in a hotel room with the actors adds a lot to the ambiance and somehow helps you suspend reality.

Don't see it if You want a conventional plot.

See it if you want to see an original site specific play, if you like immersive theater and don't mind sacrificing content for location and great look

Don't see it if you want to see a classic Broadway production with stage changes. If long dialogues bore you. If you don't understand english that well.

Also I look for the immersive details in a story. Insignificance can get tedious with the reflexions of politics. The interesting is the location. A hIgh End Suite Hotel in a 5th Avenue Hotel in New York. Just walking in that street, near the Public Library, 42 St, entering the lobby and siting in a 40 audience space. The problem is that Insignificance is boring. I loved the sound of police sirens in the street. There are some moments of magic, where I felt transported. Other moments were monotonous. I don't know if the intermission was necessary. The tv projections of the era are beautiful, the suite is beautiful, the actors are impecable in he ir characterization. Marylin Monroe is like watching an Oscar winner actress, pure talent. Also McCarthy is impressive, his body intimidated me. I wish I knew more about the story or if it based on a book I would read it.
Insignificance came from London, maybe that's why I didn't understand that good. I wish there were more plays like this.... Read more Read less

See it if you'd like to witness some strong acting up close; you're nostalgic for the 1950s; are a fan of Marilyn Monroe or Albert Einstein.

Don't see it if you're looking for something truly immersive. It's site-specific but doesn't need to be - yet would the play hold up without the hotel room?

See it if Fond of site-specific staging, enjoy name-dropping and self-satisfied references to pop culture

Don't see it if thought Copenhagen was too realistic, looking for a plot, annoyed when concept show relies on but misrepresents historical figures

See it if You enjoy unique stagings, history, pop culture, baseball and absorbing, intimate theatrical performances.

Don't see it if You hate tight spaces, discussions of scientific theory, gum popping and barefoot geniuses.

See it if you like site-specific, intimate house, dialogue driven theatre. Exceptional performances by all four in the cast.

Don't see it if you are expecting "immersive" theatre. this is absolutely NOT immersive on any level, although I have heard it called that.

See it if you are into 1950s history, don't get ahead of stories, into good acting

Don't see it if you can get a ticket to Sleep No More, Grand Paradise or If She Fell - better immersive shows.

See it if You want to sit in a hotel room with 50 strangers while hearing some atrocious dialogue. It's not immersive theater. It's just a weird venue

Don't see it if ...yeah. Don't see it.The actor playing DiMaggio was the one redeeming thing in the show. Bless him. He did what he could with that dialogue
