Don't see it if You don't like having fun. You need a big production. You don't like small, in your face theater. You don't like plays with singing.

Also I read some of the reviews and said "were we at the same play"? Everyone is entitled to their opinion. I must say that I know that this is not a Broadway production but this group did a great job bringing the talent and the energy. I had so much fun at this show. The group had so much energy and was having so much fun and my son and I were enjoying ourselves as well. The time flew by so fast. If you have an open mind and like to have a good time I say go see this show if you can. It will not be in New York too long. One more weekend. At the end of the show the cast came out to interact with the audience before they had to have a photo shoot but they were so nice, humble and appreciative. Beautiful group of people. This show was worth my trip from the Bronx. Did not disappoint. Nice message in the dialogue and songs.... Read more Read less

See it if you enjoy great singing and a dedicated cast having fun

Don't see it if you need fancy seats and props

See it if Incredible lead, Chloe Kostman. In fact, all the talent in this company. It's an incredible find in theatre this far from Broadway.

Don't see it if Someone fund a new sound system for them! It works fine, but not all the actors are mic'd, and even the ones who are are sometimes muffled.

Also Continued from above: It's just because of the small space they have to fit both the pit and the actors. Literally the only thing that detracts from the performance, though. Will be coming back to Ophelia, hungry for more!... Read more Read less

See it if This is a fun show by charming performers in an intimate setting. Lovely creative choreography. Fun musical.

Don't see it if Some issues with sound quality was obvious.

See it if you like musical theatre, teen comedies, and Greek classics. The elements are familiar, but the composition is fresh and exciting.

Don't see it if you dislike song and dance shows. There's a solid message, but it's none too serious in its delivery. The show is meant to entertain.

Also This production is staged immersively in a space that resembles a college gymnasium. The audience sits in bleachers on both sides of the basketball court. The choreography makes brilliant use of the space, and the ensemble gets to show off their immense talents in acting, singing, and dancing. The band is also excellent. I was smiling throughout the entire show.... Read more Read less

See it if supporting a great young company while enjoying a delightful production is a positive use of your time. Great choreography of b-ball scenes

Don't see it if being close to an active performance unnerves you. The performers come right up and look you in the eye. Also the band can be loud.

See it if you embrace a little-engine-that-could spirit. Young, grassroots company is talented & exuberant; you'll root for them exuberantly in turn.

Don't see it if you're irked by iffy miking that at times muffles dialogue & lyrics, by intimate-sized, off-off B'way venues & by those folded metal chairs.

See it if you enjoy a light-hearted, youth oriented musical. The venue is well transformed into a court w/ bleacher seating for an effective ambiance.

Don't see it if you don't want to see a community theater type show- a bit amateurish but ambitiously good & worth seeing. No late seating due to staging.

Don't see it if You don't like musicals. You don't like Queens. Poor sound mixing & buying skunked wine at the bar annoy you.

See it if Exciting times as girls try to inspire guys on basketball team to be more passionate. Hopping sexy song & dance with catchy modern music.

Don't see it if You aren’t interested in a song & dance high with scantily clad performers. The plot is silly, feel-good fluff.
