See it if You want to see two strong performances about interesting figures. The debates are sharp and at times funny, but also thought-provoking.
Don't see it if You prefer big productions with lots of action. This is a small, intimate think-bio.
See it if Interested in Disney and Stravinsky & curious about the use of Rite of Spring in Fantasia, enjoy witty discussions between passionate people
Don't see it if No interest in Disney or Stravinsky, don't care about history of movies, don't recall or not a fan of Fantasia, assume 2-handers not for you
See it if You enjoy Disney and Fantasia and know something about the works of Disney. A fun look at a possible conversation between giants.
Don't see it if You need a lot of action to get through a play. This is two actors on stage having riveting and interesting conversations.
See it if you are a fan of Walt Disney (as an innovator&artist) or love discussions about the Nature of Art and the class between business and art.
Don't see it if you need more than just animated "debates" / discussions between two characters. This is a "bare-bones" staging and no "action" occurs. Read more
See it if you're interested in how two creative geniuses-Walt Disney and Igor Stravinsky-worked together(or not) on Disney's film Fantasia.Good acting
Don't see it if you have no interest in or knowledge of Stravinsky's music.Not curious how an ex-pat from Russia could end up in Hollywood.
See it if you have an interest in Disney's Fantastia and one story behind its development. Please note: Disney-related, but not family-friendly.
Don't see it if you want a factual representation of events. While interesting, the storytelling takes clear liberties - most notably their chat in Heaven.
See it if Conflict of artistic vision via opposing perspectives of pain and struggle (Stravinsky) vs. escape (Disney). Amusing and enlightening.
Don't see it if You are not interested in art about art. Though the artists disagree, they believe in their art. This transcends and unites them.
See it if you like intelligent comedies. A real battle of wits. Kept me smiling from beginning to end.
Don't see it if you don't like 2 character plays or are looking for fluff.
