No Strings

See it if you want to spend 2 hours in the theatre in order to hear one good song and its reprise.Cast was WAY too large for the small set.Good choreo

Don't see it if you are looking for anything other than a college or community production.Acting was uneven, with a few good performances.Good costumes.

See it if you want to see a Rodgers' show for which he also wrote lyrics. This may be your last chance to catch this one.

Don't see it if you want an enjoyable night out, or if you have no interest in Rodgers or Broadway in the 60s.

Also I spoke to someone this morning who had seen the original and confirmed that even then it was boring. Some of this dialogue is sooo boring that it requires great chemistry between the leads to make it tolerable. Cameron Bond as the male lead was believable and had a great voice, but his counterpart was wooden and unconvincing. I think the notion of an interracial romance no longer has the tingle that it did more than a half-century ago. Keep your eye on Anne Wechsler -- great comic chops and Heather Klobukowski, who was outstanding in the ensemble.

Also, NEVER accept a seat in the front row of this theatre. No leg room whatsoever, which made the evening even more painful.

There were too many people on stage often, and the producers need to come to terms with the size of the stage in future.

I found this cast much more likeable than Seesaw's crew, but both productions were a major disappointment for the price we paid. Sorry to say, since I love old musicals.... Read more Read less

See it if you want to see a rarely presented piece with surprisingly hefty undertones

Don't see it if a weak leading man will dull your enjoyment or you expect to walk out singing the songs

See it if you enjoy a top-notch production of an historic if problematic show. Very well-staged that reflects the style of the original.

Don't see it if You prefer "revivals" that fight against the intent of the creators.

See it if you didn't see the original nor the 2003 Encores revival.

Don't see it if you are hoping to see an obscure musical theater gem emerge.

Also Overall, the production lacked charm and warmth. The characters were two dimensional - French fops, ballsy female magazine editors, clueless American tourists. The staging was peculiar: actors exiting and immediately re-entering; silent actors traveling from DSR to DSL pulling focus from the actors in the scene itself. Dance numbers often upstaged the dialog. There were too many dancers for an 18' stage.... Read more Read less

See it if you want to see an almost never produced Richard Rodgers show and like to pay top prices for amateur productions.

Don't see it if you like quality theatre.

Also I bought the whole three show series from this new company and had high hopes after their sensational debut with "Seesaw." But this show is a failure on every level. Forgettable score, a boring book(*that might have been shocking 60 years ago because of the interracial love story), bland actors, terrible direction (the chorus keeps marching in front of the main actors for no reason at all) and the choreography is well, just clunky . The set, which has traded a cut out of the Empire State Building (Seesaw) for the Eiffel Tower (yes, we're in Paris) is embarrassing and cheap looking. So disappointing. Hope the next one is better.... Read more Read less
