Entertaining, Great music, Funny, Resonant, Great story

See it if Catchy music, great story and wonderful performances! Funny scenes, heartwarming moments, it has almost everything a great musical needs!

Don't see it if Act 1 has touching moments & is stronger than Act2 which didn't reach the potential I thought it could but it's a great show & worth seeing!

Delightful, Quirky, Great writing, Funny, Entertaining

See it if You're a completist when it comes to seeing American musical theater, especially shows by Alan Menken. This is a very rarely produced show.

Don't see it if You like more flashy fare, or are expecting to see James Earl Jones in the lead role -- he's not.

Great music, Quirky, Relevant, Entertaining, Great singing

See it if Great music to be paired w. Vonnegut. Unexpectedly good. Great performances. Interesting themes. Quirky & Whimsical at times.

Don't see it if You prefer straightforward plots. Not into concert versions. Second act has a bit too many sad though great songs. Brings it down a bit

Ambitious, Clever, Funny, Quirky, Resonant

See it if you enjoy rarely seen musicals and early works by stellar creative teams before they fully came into their own.

Don't see it if quirky, odd shows with social commentary undercurrent are to your liking. Though strong performances carry it, the material is uneven.

Delightful, Funny, Quirky, Great singing

See it if you enjoy vonnegut or menken, or just want to see some great broadway actors in a quintessential musical.

Don't see it if you can't get over the encores style of production (minimal sets, scripts in hand).
