Repetitive, Dated, Great singing, Fluffy, Overstuffed

See it if you enjoy great voices singing good songs. PLW is meant to be satirical, but school sports headlines have been crazier. Not enough laughs.

Don't see it if you want tight plotting. Act I is far superior to Act II. Too many unnecessary songs. Too much unnec'y swearing. Altho new, PLW feels dated. Read more

Great singing, Fluffy, Overrated

See it if You want to see a delightful, "adult" musical done by some very good voices

Don't see it if you want your satires to be satirical. This is much closer to reality. The book and lyrics fail to bring it over the top to absurdity.

Clever, Entertaining, Funny

See it if You like a funny musical that is a bit twisted. Opens with a death. Over involved sport parents exposed.

Don't see it if You are offended by cursing - there is a lot. And some of the gay references should be dialed back. Read more

Entertaining, Delightful, Great singing, Great staging, Funny

See it if you want to see a thoroughly entertaining satire about today's superheated, competitive kids' sports in suburbia. Hilarious, fun, a bit edgy

Don't see it if you don't like satire, cursing (there's a fair amount of it) and sex/gendered stereotyping (some of the "gay" comments were a bit offensive)
