Clever, Entertaining, Funny, Quirky, Great singing

See it if you like the actors or Vonnegut's stories or Ashman/Menken music; the actors did a great job bringing the story to life #cheesenips

Don't see it if quirky shows aren't your thing; it's definitely a little "out there" in terms of plot, but I found it highly enjoyable and a lot of fun

Clever, Entertaining, Great writing, Quirky, Great singing

See it if you enjoy hearing a lost musical score from Menken and Ashman. I APPLAUD this company for giving us the chance to see this! Please record!

Don't see it if you hate staged musicals, or want ONLY to see the "popular" tried and true hits of the past.

Entertaining, Funny, Quirky, Thought-provoking, Great singing

See it if You're a fan of the hidden jems of the repertoire. Santino Fontana was amazing, and joined by James Earl Jones. Great Menken score.

Don't see it if You don't enjoy eclectic, scores, or are expecting a fully realized production. This is a staged concert reading, sometime with scripts used

Absorbing, Delightful, Enchanting

See it if you love Santino Fontana! He's incredible in this. Also it's just worth checking out an under produced show.

Don't see it if if you are looking for something big and flashy. It's a quaint, weird musical, but it works for Encores!

Absorbing, Delightful, Funny, Great singing

See it if you want to see a rare musical done with an incredible collection of fantastic actors

Don't see it if you can't travel back in time because, well, it only ran 5 performances

Quirky, Entertaining, Great score

See it if you want to experience a rarely seen Alan Menken-Howard Ashman collaboration.

Don't see it if you're looking for an antogonist with motivations deeper than pure greed.

Quirky, Original, Refreshing, Entertaining, Great acting

See it if You appreciate originality and quirkiness. Not everything works,but Santino Fontana certainly does. Very good Ashman & Menken score.

Don't see it if You're looking for a more traditional musical
