See it if You can.
Don't see it if You can't.
See it if You love to see older shows performed in new and trans-formative ways. It's brilliantly staged in a minimalist style the captivates.
Don't see it if You prefer stronger performances. The cast, while competent, isn't awe-inspiring. The minimalistic design may off-put some fans.
See it if You want to see one of Sondheim's best works done in a completely new way. The way it is done is clever.
Don't see it if You are expecting the beautiful orchestrations and stunning visuals like the previous revivals.
See it if Great small bare-bones production of the classic. Smartly staged. Solid cast.
Don't see it if you don't like minimalist productions.
See it if You love Into the Woods and think (for whatever bizarre reason) it needs to be stripped down.
Don't see it if You'd prefer a proper staging of the musical
See it if you're looking for a different take on a modern classic, or you're a huge fan of Sondheim & Into the Woods already.
Don't see it if you think you're going to miss elaborate sets & orchestrations b/c this production doesn't have them!
See it if You don't care about quality of singing. You like "Brooklyn-style" design.
Don't see it if You need Sondheim to be sung beautifully.
See it if you are interested in a re-invisioning of one of the best Sondheim musicals.
Don't see it if you think you are going to feel anything. It is all style and no substance. So much of the heart and humor has been removed from the show.
