Must see, Refreshing, Profound, Great acting, Absorbing

See it if you have read Uncle Vanya or if you haven't. Not since Christopher Durang has a playwright so joyously revamped a classic. Phenomenal acting

Don't see it if you don't want to experience grand, original theatre. So clever, so touching, so witty. I came with no expectations. I left a better human.

Quirky, Clever, Great writing, Great staging, Great acting

See it if You like fast-paces theater with excellent and committed actors. I wasn’t familiar with the Uncle Vanya plot beforehand

Don't see it if You need a large production or have difficulty keeping up with relationships in a character-driven play

Knowing and witty, Great writing, Great ensemble acting, Funny, Entertaining

See it if you'd like an amusing yet thoughtful play with great characters who fruitlessly complain about things that are part of the human experience

Don't see it if you want to see a straight-up, poker-faced drama; want your Chekov straight; OR as one actor says, " can still get tickets to Tootsie" Read more

See it if Totally absorbing with complex fleshed out sympathetic characters wittily portrayed. Austin Pendleton at his delightful best.
