The Bubbly Black Girl Sheds Her Chameleon Skin NYC Reviews and Tickets

See it if you like pleasnat dancing and singing. Nikki James is a delight. I like it better thanwhen we saw it at Playwrights ages ago.

Don't see it if you expect a production on a par with the ENCORES broadway productions. Also, two performance are not enough.

See it if You want an enjoyable, entertaining experience that also makes some resonant points on race and identity. Great performances.

Don't see it if You are hoping for a full production rather than a concert-style performance. You aren't interested in a frank discussion of race.

See it if you're at all interested in a girl growing up black in America in the late 20th century.

Don't see it if you're expecting a fully staged musical with a great score; this is neither of those things.

See it if Childs' semi-autobiographical musical of growing up in early civil rights era Sassy music darkened by O'Hara's deft staging James a knockout

Don't see it if Rough edges don't necessarily hurt but make for a little choppiness & 2nd Act meanders somewhat but a great production of still timely piece

See it if You want an engaging look at how far we've come (and haven't) in the race and gender game.

Don't see it if You only want discussions about diversity in the 'modern climate' Read more

See it if See an overlooked show with a great cast and great staging

Don't see it if Like more traditional musicals

See it if you enjoy the range of styles Kirsten Childs brings to her songs, you want to see some masterful second act performances.

Don't see it if the first act is a bit long but is redeemed by a strong second act, you have a problem with some purposefully uncomfortable humor.

See it if Perfect Encores Off-Center production of essentially a Mary Tyler Moore sitcom as musical; breezy direction and talented cast raises bar

Don't see it if Can be viewed as a fluffy dessert without much heft; serviceable score is fun but essentially forgettable
