See it if You know someone associated w/the production. You're fascinated by Billy the Kid & want to see everything about him.
Don't see it if You want any illumination of Billy. You want life-lile characters that go beyond cliche. You value quality playwriting.

Don't see it if First preview -- the actors expertly delivered some good dialogue that -- strung together -- did not make a play.

See it if you want one hour to feel like three. Perhaps I just didn't get it, but Billy the Kid philosophizing with ghosts just didn't work for me.
Don't see it if You want a play with an understandable plot. I got where it ended up, but it took a very convoluted and incomprehensible path to get there.
See it if you Must! From the title to the end the show was just slow and boring. Some actors were good, but their lines were just bad. Don't see it!
Don't see it if you have respect for Bruce Willis. He must of lost of bet or was drunk when he read the script. This was not a good show.
Also I hate giving bad reviews but this show really has nothing it can rede... Read more Read less
