Delightful, Masterful, Quirky

See it if Like classic clowning and vaudeville, for "audience reaction" done right, to revere Bill Irwin, for nostalgic family fun

Don't see it if Mime and clowning would not hold attention, don't like slapstick, Shaina Taub too twee for tastes

Clever, Funny, Escapist

See it if you love clowns, mimes, and silliness. And also, the music is fantastic. Shaina Taub is crazy talented.

Don't see it if you have a distaste for goofy, slap-stick comedy.

Clever, Funny, Cliched

See it if You enjoy old fashioned silent clowning with a modern twist

Don't see it if you need a story line to enjoy a piece of theater, or if you have a fear of being pulled onstage.

Entertaining, Dated

See it if you enjoy the older, vaudeville-style acts. The show's band was actually quite enjoyable.

Don't see it if you need constant stimulation. It's a very relaxed show with silly acts. It's "cute."

Old timey and fun

See it if You are in the mood for a vaudeville type show that is slap-stick and almost entirely silent clowning. The cast and band are entertaining!

Don't see it if If silly is not your thing..I think if you are in the right mind-set this is a fun and unique show. A nice change from the same old formats
