Life Sucks. NYC Reviews and Tickets

See it if You like humorous plays in a small intimate theater with great acting.

Don't see it if You don’t like it when actors break the 4th wall, or want serious drama.

See it if Chekhov's characters in Uncle Vanya shown as contemporary people. No need to know the original to understand fun & pain of unrequited love

Don't see it if You don’t like heightened romantic intrigues or having 4th wall broken. Bit long and repetitious. Talky but worthy drama-comedy.

See it if You like a modern spin on a classic play, well-acted and witty

Don't see it if you would be bothered by actors speaking directly to the audience - and expecting responses

See it if you like dark humor with well-drawn characters and sharp dialogue.

Don't see it if you can't tolerate any breaking of the 4th wall. Even if you normally can't, you might still like this.(Usually not my cuppa but it worked.)

See it if You like to laugh and at the same time look for a deeper meaning.

Don't see it if You hate the fourth wall being broken because this happens...a lot. You find it tiresome for characters to sit around and complain.

See it if You are okay with unorthodox storytelling and plays that ask big questions.

Don't see it if You would like to see a straight forward two act play. They break the fourth wall a lot.

See it if a charming, strongly-acted piece about why life can seem so discouraging, disappointing, and awful (it's not always someone else's fault)

Don't see it if want something plot-driven, don't like being around people who complain a lot Read more

Don't see it if you want a more formal approach to Chekhov. The actors constantly break the fourth wall, which usually annoys me -- but not here. Read more
