Entertaining, Edgy, Raunchy, Hilarious, Great writing

See it if you're interested in a creative hip-hop musical with well-written rhymes based on Othello. This was original, funny, and entertaining.

Don't see it if you dislike rap and profanity. You don't want to squint to catch the references to the source material. You expect a tragedy, not a comedy. Read more

Not much tragedy, but bright loud energetic action that wore a little thin at the end

See it if you want Othello in cliff notes. Very energetic, good humored, sort of loses steam. I lost focus 60min in bc I knew most of the tricks.

Don't see it if You dont like intensive bass. You dont like flashing lights, you want: full production values, to savor Shakespeare's text, tragedy. Read more
