About the Show

The songs of Jerry Garcia and Robert Hunter (of the Grateful Dead fame) come to the stage in this new musical, the fantastical and comedic tale of a legendary swindler.

Great staging, Great acting, Good music

See it if You like the Grateful Dead. This show weaves the songs throughout, but the plot is weak and hard to follow. Great acting as well.

Don't see it if You like plot driven stories.

Slow, Strong ensemble, Disappointing

See it if you're a Deadhead because you'll find things to appreciate. The plot is barely there and kinda bizarre but the ensemble rocks.

Don't see it if you want a musical with a compelling plot. The songs are shoehorned into breaks of dialogue and do nothing to advance the story.

Disappointing, Excruciating

See it if You're a dead head.

Don't see it if Thought music was good but go listen to CD. Sorry, thought it would be silly and amusing. Just didn't do it for me.

Good staging, Excellent musicians, Corny story, Deafening music, Over-acting

See it if you like jukebox musicals with the music and sounds of Jerry Garcia, Robert Hunter, and the Grateful Dead woven into a comical story line.

Don't see it if don't like the Grateful Dead or can't deal with deafening music drowning out lyrics which don't contribute to the superficial plot anyway. Read more

Great cast, Great sets & lighting, Slow story, Really bad sound

See it if Sound was so loud and echoing I couldn't enjoy the show. Cast are talented actors & musicians.Story has little pacing.

Don't see it if you don't like country western musicals. Read more
