Intelligent, Must see, Great staging, Great singing, Absorbing

See it if You want to see a talented quartet from New Zealand who are Maori. I loved every moment of this entertaining evening. Bravo!

Don't see it if You want a non-musical, this will not be your show. Also, some of the cultural references might be lost on a number of New Yorkers.

Thought-provoking, Quirky, Entertaining, Great singing, Clever

See it if You want a musical about Maori identity through the decades w/a clever & imaginative style. You want a likeable cast performing great music.

Don't see it if You have little interest in Maori culture. You don't like musicals. You prefer shows w/big production values. You dislike intimate staging.

Must see, Quirky, Great acting, Great singing, Clever

See it if Quirky Kiwi foursome hoping for a second chance and a last performance in purgatory hell lounge act.Each recalls a sense of Identity. Great.

Don't see it if It's pronounced "Mawhree" not "Mary," which totally changes the intention of the show when term used. Think the Jordanaires in "Blue Hawaii" Read more

Something different, Great singing

See it if you like the sound of male harmonies or if you’ll probably never get to visit New Zealand

Don't see it if I’m glad I went to watch it and I regret going to the theater all the time

Quirky, Insightful, Refreshing, Enchanting

See it if you're interested in learning aspects of another culture through music and quirky storytelling. Strong singing, fun performers.

Don't see it if you have a very low tolerance for occasionally hokey jokes. They sometimes push the punchlines, but the music and harmonies hold their own.

Quirky, Great singing, Entertaining, Delightful

See it if you enjoy musical revues.While there's a plot, it's thin; this is more of a musical revue than a play. Singing is great. Performers engaging

Don't see it if you'll be frustrated by the fact many songs are in Maori.While we get the gist of the subject from the plot, no translations are provided.

Great singing, Entertaining, Absorbing

See it if you like excellent singing with strong traditional dances. explorations of other forms of music and dance, t times touching story.

Don't see it if a fairly thin, if sometimes effective, plot. A short show, basically an hour. Not interested in Maori songs and culture.

New York Theater
January 15th, 2020

"Seems like a Las Vegas-like lounge act [with] an oleaginous Rat Pack rapport…. Yet, it's a testament to the talent and charisma of the performers, and the beautiful harmonies of their songs, that the chintzy framing of the show doesn't smother its appeal."
