MEMBERS SAY:
See it if It's a play that isn't often done
Don't see it if You don't like drama
See it if You want to see a classic. The lead of the show has a commanding presence that drives the show. The minor characters shine throughout.
Don't see it if You need big stages or big musical numbers.
See it if , like me you've somehow managed to make it all these years without ever seeing the play or the movie. Well written play not done very well.
Don't see it if You want a good play. There are good PARTS of this, (lighting, some of the actors) but overall it would be hard to recommend.
See it if Youre dying to see the play ('63) based on the novel ('62) right now-otherwise wait for better production. V forced; where was the reality?
Don't see it if Entire cast over-acts (even small parts) which speaks to direction; uncomfortable to watch. U just want 2 advise "Stop" & actually BE them~
See it if You haven't seen the movie and want to know the main plot of the novel. This production meets this expectation.
Don't see it if You want a more profound production. I understand this is their first preview; they still need to speak their lines more fluently.
Also Personally don't like Nurse Ratched, think that character is not power... Read more Read less
