Incredible second act

See it if You have the patience to sit through a long first act knowing that the payoff will be there in act two

Boring, Disappointing, Didnt believe this couple even knew each other, This did not gel

See it if appreciate absurdity of life on stage, Jose Rivera's viewpoint, wonderful acting, mix of music/visuals/dance, find humor in the everyday

So slow it becomes excruciating, Difficult type of comedy to pull off, Rough preview, Stilted, Ambitious

See it if you seek ambitious new plays that show off all the writer’s flourishes & self-indulgence. Interesting magical futuristic alternate reality.

Don't see it if I can’t judge if this is a good play or not. It felt like watching a rehearsal. Long suffering couple prolongs suffering. Not a likable pair Read more

Delightful, Great writing, Funny, Entertaining

See it if you enjoy farce, parody, and satire - this is some of the best. From the type of humor embraced by Monty Python and Benny Hill.

Don't see it if you can't laugh in a theater or need "permission" to make sure your laughter isn't inappropriate. Read more

During previews

Great staging, Great actors, lighting and music, Intriguing but vacant, Fluffy political satire, Delightful, quirky

See it if You're up for spot-on actors; sharp funny writing with no discernible there there however. Writing engaging & funny at times, smooth staging

Don't see it if You dislike experimental theatre, magical realism, farce, or need a traditional narrative framework—you won’t have the patience or payoff. Read more
