Cliched, Funny, Quirky, Great singing, Entertaining

See it if You enjoy light musicals performed by a young cast. Great voices and strong choreography bring this take on major religious characters alive

Don't see it if You are offended by making light of religious figures or you expect to hear Busey sing - he’s there and acts but has a restrained role.

Indulgent, Derivative, Ungodly, Great singing (by most), Banal

See it if u want to see some young, gifted singers giving their all in an otherwise ridiculous, pointless, trite, unoriginal "origin story" of Man.

Don't see it if you are expecting an inventive parody of religion, humanity, the modern workplace... or anything. Read more

Fluffy, Entertaining, Great singing, Banal, Ambitious

See it if You're curious to see Gary Busey in a musical. You want a satire of Heaven inspired by The Office. You want a cast with great voices.

Don't see it if You want sharp satire:more cute than skewering.You want memorable music:sung well tho forgettable. You want GB in a star role:only featured.

Disappointing, Cliched, Great singing, Banal, Ambitious

See it if you really love Gary Busey, or great singing in a rather weak plot with unlikeable characters.

Don't see it if you need to feel a connection to the plot or characters. Read more

Insipid, Quirky, Raunchy, Cliched, Banal

See it if Aside from a couple of really good voices there is NO reason to see this unless of course you’re a Gary Busey fan.

Don't see it if If you can avoid it there are so many worthwhile productions to support.

Ambitious, Funny, Disappointing

See it if You are a fan of Gary Bussy. If you like alternative representations of heaven and campy comedy.

Don't see it if If you are offended bu alternative representations of God, Jesus snd heaven. If you prefer traditional funny comedies.

Indulgent, Insipid, Excruciating

See it if God and his angels are creating earth. Lucifer and Mary Magdalene are in a power struggle. Jesus is a pot smoker. Gary Busey is plastic.

Don't see it if Not sure what the point of this was. Lucifer wasn't really a bad guy. Not sure. Read more

"'Only Human,' Starring Gary Busey as the Almighty, Will Make You Doubt the Existence of God: They want you to think this is like 'The Office,' but 'The Office' is better."

New York Stage Review
October 21st, 2019

2/5 Stars "Though 'Only Human' has been promoted as a vehicle for veteran screen star Gary Busey, it's more accurately the vanity project of a pop aspirant named Mike Squillante."
