Orlando (Signature Theatre Company) NYC Reviews and Tickets

See it if U R a TaylorMac/CharlesLudlam/CharlesBusch fan, color in casting & costume fan, fan of Virginia Woolf/gay storytelling, joy in theater fan

Don't see it if need everything spelled out 4U, dislike whimsy & theatre with absurdist tendencies, hate cross-gender casting

See it if Great performances from ensemble cast esp Taylor Mac, Nathan Lee Graham, Lisa Kron. Very campy & often hilarious, a love letter to queerness

Don't see it if Took me awhile to get into it to realize the style of the play. Highly theatrical & narrative in direction/adaptation (it's very Brechtian)

See it if You enjoy unconventional queer theater, beautiful costumes, talented queer artists.

Don't see it if You don’t enjoy queer culture.

See it if You want to see a show with a primarily queer/trans cast and creative team take on a queer classic, or you love funny performances!

Don't see it if You want a drama.

See it if you like plays that use narration rather than dialogue. The production seems way underrehearsed. The chorus/ensemble is underutilized.

Don't see it if you are a fan of Virginia Woolf's novel.

See it if You like an energetic, experimental but well performed--if ill conceived---play.

Don't see it if If you don't like old-style experimental theater. Became a bit of a grind after the first act. Read more

See it if I liked the costumes on Orlando

Don't see it if It never really conveyed Virginia Wolff's book. Considering the changes in sexual mores, it could have done much more.

See it if you love imagination, queerness, Taylor Mac, and especially Virginia Woolf and interpretations that deepen your understanding of her work

Don't see it if you like your plays to stick to the straight (ahem) and narrow of person, place, and time
