Mark Felt, Superstar

See it if you enjoy political history. MFS tells the Deep Throat story from different angles. It helps to know the key players/events. Talented cast.

Don't see it if you want a big musical; this is bare-bones staging (although clever). If you were a Nixon fan, best to stay away. Echoes in 2017 fears.

Also I went in with no expectations and was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed the play and the cast. I even gained a few insights into US history.... Read more Read less

See it if Fast-paced 90 minute musical about President Nixon and the Watergate scandal. Snazzy peppy cast with lots of fun songs & jokes.

Don't see it if You prefer more narration and dramas over musicals

See it if You remember "Deep Throat" from the Watergate scandals+want to know more about the circumstances of the important role he played in gov't.

Don't see it if You can't deal with a show on its feet for the first time as a staged reading. You don't enjoy cabaret style satirical comedy.

See it if you are a fan of "up close and personal" off-off Broadway; history brought to life in a musical, clever rhymes and songs, good singing

Don't see it if you only like Big Broadway Musicals; you are not at all interested in recent history; you are a faithful Nixon supporter denying history

See it if Well done mix of history and pop, with hummable songs, nice voices and info you never knew about Watergate. Surprisingly timely.

Don't see it if Done in a concert format with the creator at the piano. No sets, basic but effective choreography. Michael McCoy as Nixon was hilarious.

See it if You are interested in historical tales. you like close harmonies. You like interesting piano riffs. good concept of use of photos.

Don't see it if You need sets and scenery, You are bored with exposition. You are not interested in political intrigue

See it if You want to revisit the Nixon era and get a history lesson delivered nicely. You want to be entertained and informed.

Don't see it if You don't like plays that are based on historical events. You need complex staging.

Also I learned a lot watching this play. It was very interesting to learn as much as I did about the Nixon fiasco. This play was very entertaining and I enjoyed the singing. Very interesting how the actors used pictures of real life characters to explain their part in the Watergate scandal. Very interesting and captivating history lesson.... Read more Read less

See it if You are intrigued by the Watergate scandal, and want a deep dive into the psyche of Deep Throat.

Don't see it if You don't care for shows that are more concerned with asking overwrought psych questions than with actually showing history. Music was meh.

See it if Wonderful actors tell of historical events that are relevant to today, need a recap of history and want a bit of humor thrown in.

Don't see it if You are not into politics and it's history, need bells and whistles in a show, you were a Nixon fan.

Also Didn't think it would be as good as it was nor relevant to anything currently happening, but it was. Cleared key players for me and told a story I never knew about.
For me the subtext told me a second story...careful of history repeating itself." Actors carried script as they literally were handed scrip days before and they did an amazing job rarely glancing at script.... Read more Read less

See it if you don't mind a show that still needs a lot of work and has 2 good songs.

Don't see it if you like a good musical with a well told story.

See it if you like small scale reviews with clever music and lyrics and are particularly interested in politics.

Don't see it if you're expecting a full scale Broadway or even off Broadway musical production.

Also While the entire cast is good, Neal Mayer as Mark Felt deserves special kudos. He sings, dances, and acts his way through an amazingly complex part. Even though I worked for the government in DC many of the details of that time had been forgotten. It's also a clear warning (although it doesn't attempt to preach or fall victim to slipping in Trump jokes) of possible things to come.... Read more Read less

See it if you would enjoy a musical based on recent US history or see possible ethical issues in the incoming administration.

Don't see it if you are close minded and only want to continue believing Nixon (and Trump) are heroes.

See it if U'd like to see a new play in its early stages which deserves a larger production. Unsung hero gets his musical due! Catchy tunes & history~

Don't see it if You need a large production; this is barebones-or recent US history bores you. Audrey character needs re-write-should be sad, not blousy.

See it if you want to see the prequel to 2017 the musical to be written in 40 years, you've heard of Watergate and deep throat. See it now!

Don't see it if you don't like non-traditional musicals, you are looking forward to Brave New World Jan 21st, you don't like intelligent music and writing.

Also This show is unusually relevant right now! Yes....they made a musical out of Watergate!... Read more Read less

See it if you want to know the real story of Watergate's mysterious 'Deep Throat." A clever, tuneful, talent-filled, accurate history lesson.

Don't see it if you're looking for something on the light side. This has humor, but it's not a parody. This is the real story, with music.

See it if you want to see Watergate's history unfold in a clever musical. Too bad it is ending so soon

Don't see it if you are just into big song and dance musicals with elaborate sets.

Also All the facts in this play about Mark Felt check out on Wikipedia. It is an amazing story about the man who brought down Nixon... Read more Read less
