The Real Actors of NYC

See it if Love great theater and some amazing music!

Don't see it if You are not a musical theater fan and would rather be watching the World Series of Golf!

See it if You enjoy a new musical with a snazzy cast. A sassy and hip musical comedy about actors making their way in NY's dog-eat-dog theatre world.

Don't see it if You insist on big budget Broadway spectacle. This is simply done and very clever; it's about the writing and the acting.

Also A friend took me and I didn't know what to expect. I ended up being charmed, and feeling that I was seeing a wonderful new show in its early stages. I saw it again two weeks later and it was a different show..even better!... Read more Read less

See it if You love catchy pop tunes, and hilarious scenarios involving how far people will go to get on stage.

Don't see it if Make sure you stay for Act II, which is much shorter and involves revenge scenarios and a very funny chase during a live show. 1 hr 55 min.

See it if You accept that you can have a fun evening of theater with a handful of performers, one set, pretty much, a couple of musicians and

Don't see it if Going with the flow... is not your style. Funny how the Marge actress seemed to be channeling Anjelica Huston in the TV show "Smash."

Also Performers sauntered, pranced, pouted, and helped us forget the craziness going on outside in the real world. The music is not necessarily memorable, but the storyline is amusing and you will chuckle throughout.

The view of the stage is mediocre, given the lack of slant. The entrance is on 50th, although the address given is on Broadway. Someone please fix the signage on the ground floor, so that audience members are not upset trying to find the theater before the show even starts.... Read more Read less

Also All the songs sound pretty much alike; but, the cast puts them across and they work. The cast is VERY good!!!! Should have mentioned this earlier.... Read more Read less

See it if U want to hear some promising songs in a show that, w/a change of cast, could work better. Events of Act ll fall apart & become ridiculous~

Don't see it if Had the cast, save 1 performer, not been utterly forgetable, premise that they keep being unfairly denied their "big break" may have worked~

See it if You're willing to give unknowns a try, if you can enjoy humor in an uneven production

Also I enjoyed the show even though it was a bit amateur. Some of the actors had great comic chops, and some of the songs were clever. It picked up in the second act.... Read more Read less

Don't see it if you expect a well developed plot and good music

Also Based on brief comments abut the show itself, I was routing for success. There were a few funny moments. I found the singing and acting to be mediocre and started to wonder if that was part of the plot. The show was more disappointing than enjoyable.... Read more Read less

See it if Feel like you're a starving artist

Don't see it if You like whinny stereotypical characters and starving artists annoy you

See it if You are friends with a cast or crew member. You have a passion unquenched for back stage musicals. Shows that are going nowhere are for you.
