Intimate, Clever, Delightful, Entertaining

See it if You'd enjoy a modern retelling of the greek mythology. Super talented cast and very nice intimate production.

Don't see it if You dislike small intimate productions or don't like modern twists on classics.

Constant turning to 4 sides, Homespun, Long/slow, Strong singing, Absorbing

See it if you'd like 2+ hrs w sincere, dedicated, warm, talented, enthusiastic actors. Updated O&E, not very insightful. Strg singing. Intimate space.

Don't see it if you want a gr story w well-integrated songs. Or creative staging (actors spin ard in center). Still, troupe eventually makes you invested.

Slow, Absorbing, Clever, Great singing, Ambitious

See it if If you know the story, this one has some interesting twist to it. Warm and inviting production.

Don't see it if Has a lot of dialogue and can be slow at times. Maybe too long for some.

Absorbing, Quirky, Entertaining, Great singing, Ambitious

See it if you'd like a fresh take on the Greek characters by an energetic cast doing it all - acting, singing, playing instruments, engaging audience.

Don't see it if you expect traditional presentation of these stories-here there's no set, costumes or props, but contemporary music is added. Bright lights!

Quirky, Passionate, Enchanting, Clever, Romantic

See it if Creative feminist version of the myth, set in modern times with depth of feeling, rich details, & wonderful music. Warm & enthusiastic.

Don't see it if Springsteen tunes w/some audience participation (I liked, but some may not). Lots of narration. Distracting lights shine on audience. Long.

Quirky, Joyful interaction with audience, Nice ensemble work, Entertaining, Ambitious

See it if for the charming performers who have created this piece and encourage the audience to sing along.

Don't see it if you expect the traditional myth. This is a creative modernization.

Engaging, Intimate, Tuneful, Contemporary, Smart

See it if you’d like to experience an engaging, cotemporary, musical take on the Orpheus & Eurydice story.

Don't see it if you want a standard play: Here 4 performers narrate, sing & sometimes act as the stories of the 2 lead characters unfold & at last interact. Read more
