On a Clear Day You Can See Forever

See it if you love musicals. I'd never seen OACD. Wild story is fun, but lacks emotional core. Errico is always worth seeing. Well done projected sets

Don't see it if you want a polished productn. Choreography's lame, book's outdated, costumes meh, some songs subpar, but I enjoyed it! Not mic'ed (a plus).

See it if this was a huge disappointment. The story is quite different from the movie in a very inferior way. Such low energy production.

Don't see it if Actors really didn't seem to care. Seemed more bored than the audience. Singing was subpar. Choreography was embarrassing​ at times.

See it if I really tried hard to come up with a reason and I can't. Watch the movie at home instead.

Don't see it if Everything about this production is bland. The leads have no passion or fire. Very low energy. No creativity & completely boring.

See it if You’ve never seen this show, this is an ok production. If it’s one of your favorites I think you’ll be disappointed. Great singing.

Don't see it if You’re a purist or loved the Harry Connick Jr Broadway version, this falls short of both.

Also Some odd staging choices like why spring for the stage turntable and use it once to make one revolution of the stage. It was effective but...really...that’s it?!?! And more than once actors were singing to the big pole in the corner of the stage. What??? And it’s supposed to be a roof but they just wander around like the edges don’t mean a thing!!... Read more Read less

See it if Moore having an orchestra on stage and eliminating two songs has weakened this musical. This show does not fit the stage.it is a nice show,

Don't see it if Not a great show,however. If you want a big musical production.

See it if The well sung score uplifts this curio from the 60's Period psychology is dated; but not necessarily its downfall For completists only

Don't see it if It's the lackluster production that's at fault Moore's bland direction & the leads lack of energy/pinache kills any momentum Becomes a slog

See it if Always love the Irish Rep. Great singing by Melissa E. and Ben D.. Nice to see the "oldies' come back. Staff is great. SEE MORE

Don't see it if Disapointed with the costumes and the set. Morgan is always clever but???

Also The use of the balcony for the entance and the fade-out was brilliant

See it if Melissa Errico fan, curious about the musical and like some of its songs, have never seen the "straight" (non-Connick) version

Don't see it if don't like shows about reincarnation, expect elaborate dancing & sets esp. for flashback sequences, repetitive, too congested

See it if Rare reincarnation musical. Hypnotist falls for patient's past-life former self and then feels betrayed. Artful set projections=exposition.

Don't see it if Weak female lead with no comic timing can't carry show that rests on her shoulders. ESP/reincarnation/hypnotism might be a stretch for some

See it if If you like classic musical and the music is great.

Don't see it if you want to watch big stage dancing. Remember its not the movie.

Also On a small theater stage, viewing good from any seat.

See it if you like a musical with great singers but a plot that could have been much better. Scenery done with videos.

Don't see it if you like a musical with a great plot and developed characters. I found the ending unrealistic based upon what we know about the characters.

Also Some of the music is very beautiful and the three main singers were wonderful. I can't believe this plot was used in a Broadway play and in a film, both of which I didn't see. With more character development, the plot could have been much improved because I thought the basic plot was very interesting.... Read more Read less

See it if There are not enough Lane-Lerner songs to make this musical more than ho-hum. Nice performances by Ben Davis and John Cudia.

Don't see it if The "past-life" story is silly but the change in costumes and tone is interesting and well-staged. The hypnosis and ESP angles seemed dated,

See it if you enjoy fluffy, occasionally humorous musicals. The two male leads were good singers when given opportunity to shine.

Don't see it if you can't get past cheap-looking uninspired production/set. Slow & dated. Nice jazz song that opens 2nd act—wish rest of score was like that

See it if you miss the days musicals were so frequently manufactured they were basically incidental songs shoehorned into sloppy plots on a deadline.

Don't see it if you want entertainment. Not every old find is a gem. 0 interesting songs. Many jokes but few laughs. A rare bomb for Irish Rep.

Also Across the board unexceptional. Directed and designed in ways that don’t suit knockabout comedy and make it feel like it’s in perpetual rehearsal mode. I was looking forward to a sweet and tuneful romance but better quality entertainment can be found on cable sitcoms.

Daisy and her past incarnation, Melinda, should be an opportunity for the actress to dazzle w/ a vivid personality change. The transformations are feeble here.

There is a neat little trick where Daisy’s ESP is actually exploited to make her MORE compliant to the guy who’s using her for both research and romantic fantasies. But why are her supernatural powers over plants never explained?... Read more Read less

See it if you like musicals. The songs are great and the singing is terrific. Melissa Errico is worth the ticket price.

Don't see it if you expect a meaningful story and a broadway caliber production. Minimal sets make the show intimate, more like a reading.

See it if to see Melissa Erriico and Stephen Bogardus and hear some beautiful music. The book is and always has been the problem.

Don't see it if you don't like old fashioned musicals.

See it if you enjoy a classic show with familiar music and talented voices to perform them. Not up to Broadway standards but still very enjoyable.

Don't see it if you don't like older shows or you have seen this on Broadway and anything less leaves you disappointed.

See it if You enjoy seeing revivals of rarely produced musicals.

Don't see it if You get impatient with something that isn't perfect.

See it if My s2nd time seeing it. Love musicals of late 40's thru the 60's, you will love the music, the lyrics, the voices, especially male leads.

Don't see it if You prefer jukebox or rock music with amped voices. Story is quirky, vague at times, but the lyrics, which are clearly sung, are wonderful.

See it if You want to hear the beautiful music in this show. The singing is terrific and the small orchestra quite talented

Don't see it if You need a strong and coherent story line with a basis in reality. This is goofy My Fair Lady with ESP and hypnosis.

See it if You love Lerner and want to hear these song sung with natural voices, not miked.

Don't see it if Plot and characters are important to you.

Also I wanted to like this more than I did. The enthusiastic performances help.... Read more Read less

See it if you want to hear these song sung very well by a small ensemble.

Don't see it if you're expecting a comic tour-de-force. This production doesn't try to push the comedy.

See it if you are up for an off-Broadway musical that has some nice music & an energetic cast.

Don't see it if you have recently seen a brilliant Broadway musical.

See it if and only if you don't own a DVD player.

Don't see it if you have a DVD player of have a friend who owns a DVD player because the movie version starring Barbra Striesand is so much BETTER!!!!!!!!

Also Even though I am a fan of Melissa Errico, this DUD of a show was not worth the time I invested sitting n the theater watching it. I kept wanting to scream out "whre's MY movie Melinda Melinda?" ,but my better judgement kept me from doing so. So, on this clear day, steer clear of this production unless you don't own a DVD player and/or have never see the 1970 movie movie starring Barbra Striesand. You might love it, but then again, NOT!... Read more Read less

See it if You want a nice time-capsule of a musical with some really wonderful numbers. Enjoy chamber versions of musicals a la the new Carmen Jones.

Don't see it if You dislike shows steeped in misogyny. This show makes My Fair Lady look like The Feminine Mystique. You dislike orchestral reductions.

Also "Oh, God, why didn't you make woman first when you were fresh?" - Dr. Chabot

If you enjoyed that wise-crack about the inferior sex then you're going to love this show. No questions asked.

The show is an odd duck. It actually has quite an interesting and novel premise. But it wanders in and out of that premise and the rules aren't quite clear or consistent. And there are... a lot of detours.

The highlight of the show is definitely the music. The five piece chamber orchestra (pianist, harpist, violinist/violist doubler, cellist, woodwind doubler) sounds great. And the show has a wonderful collection of voices. And again, in case you missed it, I said harpist. And the harp sounds beautiful.

The score is pretty great, though a little uneven. The title song, Melinda, What Did I Have, and Come Back to Me are all standouts.

The book is kind of a mess. The premise is strong, but the execution is little more than a series of punchlines that don't land. Or at least they don't in 2018.... Read more Read less
