R.R.R.E.D.

See it if You want a light, fun clever, silly show that’s full of great talent and some songs that are surprisingly touching and sweet.

Don't see it if You want serious drama or anything resembling real life. This is pure escapism fun.

See it if you want to escape to review the problems that redheads encounter as a minority with some good singing and hilarious moments by a good cast.

Don't see it if you want a musical with memorable songs, do not like skit comedy or want a completely seamless production. It tends to repeat itself a bit.

See it if Lead guy has lots of energy and sings quite well. If you enjoy silly nonsensical plots.

Don't see it if Dragged slightly and really wasn't much plot. Had a Fringe Festival vibe.

See it if You enjoy a silly premise(albeit not to redheads!) enacted and well sung by an earnest and talented cast of actors with no deep thinking

Don't see it if You want thought provoking drama-this is silly and entertaining!

See it if You enjoy hilarious raunchy off Broadway musicals with some of the best vocals in the 2 main characters.

Don't see it if You are discomforted by homosexuality and or sex related songs

See it if You want to see a talented cast put on a fun, escapism show

Don't see it if You’re not willing to suspend belief and need all plot holes filled

See it if Very good singing talent by the entire cast. It is more a musical concert than a "show'". A/C now working to perfection.

Don't see it if The humor was lost on me but the youngish audience did find some humor. Minimal sets.

See it if You want an original, high-concept musical with clever & fun lyrics performed by a talented cast. You enjoy satire.

Don't see it if You prefer musicals based on realistic topics. You prefer a more traditional musical theatre sound. You like shows w/ big production values.

See it if you want to relax and see a show that will make you laugh. Cute premise, catchy songs. Fun.

Don't see it if your require a complex plot.

Also I have read some reviews that suggest there is no plot. Yes, there is a plot. Well, more of a premise. It all takes place as if the audience are members of the club and the show talks directly to them. It does get silly at times, but it's all in good fun. We had a great time. Don't miss this one just because some others didn't get the concept or the jokes.... Read more Read less

See it if voice and acting of Matt Loehr and voice Marrissa Rosen , plus the acting and voice of the uncredited guest are enough.

Don't see it if you need a solid book that has direction, an exceptionally score, and leads where one doesn't need to hold back to cover the others weakness

Also The best joke, and the one the book should have been written around, was GJ's "bag of seed". I'm not sure that the authors understood how funny. although cliched, that was. I was going to give it 65, but it earned an extra 5 points because of proper last scene. That tends to be a thing a lot of writers seem to miss or pull back from.... Read more Read less

See it if Good cast elevates this strange take on gingers.

Don't see it if Cold AC bothers you.

See it if You want to see a show about redheads and their secret world. Many funny songs and scenes and a surprise ending!

Don't see it if You don’t like campy musicals. You’re looking for more dramatic content

See it if you want a campy musical. It was a fun show to kick back and watch. The singers are really good, the story not so much.

Don't see it if you are looking for a show with a strong plot.

Also The show can be a little slow at parts. The Singers are very good but the comedy aspect of the show is not consistent throughout the whole show. For the more serious songs, need a little more visual stimulation, like a slide show or something to keep you interested.
They also didn't use some of the characters enough: MARISSA ROSEN was amazing and funny. I was hoping she would have more than 1 song.... Read more Read less

See it if You like small shows with talented singers. You like the absurd.

Don't see it if You need a plot grounded in reality. You want a big show with big numbers - this has 4 actors and minimal set.

Also I’ve read some harsh reviews here that i don’t understand. I thought the singing was exceptional, the concept was funny, the writing was amusing, and it was overall an entertaining way to spend 90 minutes. I never got bored.... Read more Read less

See it if in musicals I look for great voices, good songs and the cast who enjoy themselves and beleive in their show. Rrred has all these elements.

Don't see it if the plot is silly but at least unusual and different from typical old-school grimacing found in so many musicals.

Also it’s an original production with bluesy songs that allow the strong vocalists to actually show their voices. So rare nowadays. I hope this show will find its audience.... Read more Read less

See it if you like to laugh a bit but not too much.

Don't see it if you expect an intelligent experience. Some relevance but too indulgent.

See it if Big talent on a small stage Absurd in a good way-story line about the extinction of redheads and what to do about it. Kevin Zak gets an A+.

Don't see it if Plot is secondary to the clever songs and energetic performances. Some pop culture references went over my head.

Also There is a surprise ending and the special guest star (Christopher Sieber) was terrific and added Broadway panache to his role. The cast involves the audience in a comfortable way. Choreography/movement is energetic and fills the smal stage. For a fun night out - leave your prudish friends home - complete with great singing and off beat humor it’s well worth the ticket price.... Read more Read less

See it if you'd enjoy seeing a campy musical comedy with a small cast (and one surprise guest!) about an underground group of radicalized redheads.

Don't see it if you don't like campy musicals that are short on story but long on concept.

Also The singing was a pleasant surprise in this otherwise modest and unassuming little off-Broadway outing. Some serious pipes contained herein! And the surprise guest, which I'm told always changes, was a real hoot.... Read more Read less

See it if You want a show that is light on story and staging but funny and campy with excellent singing

Don't see it if You want a story of any depth or breadth, campy singing won't charm you through the 90 minutes

See it if You love Katie Thompson and her music, or small, concept Musicals with funny, clever lyrics and catchy tunes. Amazing voices!

Don't see it if You need a meatier plot. It’s pretty much a conceptual concert of Katie Thompson’s music. It’s really good! But the plot is not fleshed out.

See it if You are into silly premises. You agree with Johnny Carson when he said "Buy the premise, buy the bit." You appreciate satire.

Don't see it if You're looking for a good story.

See it if you like immersive, 4th wall breaking shows with a quirky edge

Don't see it if you don't like shows with raunchy humor or little background establishment

See it if You like musical comedy, surprise guest stars, and really great singing across the board. You like one-act musicals.

Don't see it if You like fully PG jokes, large theatres, or full orchestration.

See it if you love musical with witty lyrics. See it because it is sooo funny and entertaining.

Don't see it if you don’t like musicals, and if you don’t want to be entertained.

Also I love this show even if I will pay for the ticket it is worth it.

See it if You want and evening of light entertainment

Don't see it if You don't like musical
