The Dork Knight

See it if you are at least familiar with the most iconic Batman movies of the last 30 years. Very well written and performed. Absorbing, intelligent.

Don't see it if It's a niche play that requires some prior knowledge of the subject. One man shows at small venues are not your thing.

Also I thoroughly enjoyed this one though I would not recommend to just anyone.
His impressions are really good and the writing interweaving the movies and his personal life was very well balanced and entertaining.
End scene was too fast and confusing though. Left me not knowing what quite happened.... Read more Read less

See it if You’ve ever felt like what was on the inside is more important than what’s on the outside. Funny. Inspirational. Clever. Smart. Current.

Don't see it if This was a GREAT show, even if you hate one person shows I would urge you to take a chance on this one, that might be only reason not to go.

Also I know...I know... how could this dorky show score so high?!?! I’m telling you, this guy is phenomenal! Super talented. Great impersonations. A wonderful universal story of trying to make your way in the world, not feeling good enough or able to fit in. Overcoming obstacles. Never mind if you’re a Batman fan or not. It helps if you’ve seen or are at least peripherally aware of the movies but it’s not necessary at all. This show is a winner in every way and I feel like a winner for having seen it.... Read more Read less

See it if You enjoy one man shows. In this case it is especially recommended if you are a fan of the many Batman movies.

Don't see it if You want a big Broadway show and/or have no interest in hearing about a man's obsession with the many Batman movies.

Also The story is ultimately about more than his obsession with Batman and he tells a touching personal tale. But I do think that at least some familiarity with the movies will make it more interesting. The staging is extremely sparse. Just a chair and a table on an otherwise empty stage. But a lot is done with the lighting and some sound effects at times. It is a very small theater so a very intimate feel to the production.... Read more Read less

Don't see it if If you prefer the villains....see it anyway, Great impersonations of The Joker and Penguin.

See it if He gives an honest (and brave) exploration of his life successfully tying in Batman movies (esp) and comics. Hopeful and optimistic. Funny~

Don't see it if U'd find it indulgent & a stretch to empathize with a guy who earnestly sees parallels from his life to that of Batman's.Dislike 1 man shows

See it if you enjoy poignant one-man shows about life and are deeply familiar with the Batman movies from 1989-present.

Don't see it if you've never seen a Batman movie and don't like one-man shows.

See it if you like small 1 person shows that use pop culture as an metaphor for ones personal life.

Also I was truly surprised by this well written and somewhat poignant story telling of 1 mans journey. Jason O'Connell wrote this and stars in it. He did a great job. Authentic voices need to be heard and the sis on elf them.... Read more Read less

This story is poignant, relatable and beautifully portrayed.... Read more Read less
