Riveting, Ambitious, Entertaining, Must see, Refreshing

See it if You want to see an incredible true story nearly forgotten by history, played by a multi-talented cast that'll win your hearts.

Don't see it if You don't like country music or can't sympathize with convicts.

Great cast, Toe-tapping music, Great lights, Entertaining

See it if you enjoy "Grand Old Opry" style music. Really enjoyed the singing and dancing but the book let me down.

Don't see it if you want the back story of how the girls got in prison, how they learned to sing/play instruments & formed the band. Read more

Great singing, Great staging, Great acting, Great music

See it if you want to see a show with an interesting subject ad some nice music that you don't typically here on Broadway.

Don't see it if you don't like country music or shows with a lot of underdeveloped characters.

Disappointing, Somewhat promising, Charming but cliched, Unnecessarily straight

See it if you like any of the actors (who were all lovely in the production) and enjoy musicals with pretty, but by no means ground-breaking, music

Don't see it if you have an eye/ear for when you're being queer-baited (the two leads had crazy chemistry, but the script all but shouts "no homo!" at you)

Cute, Amateurish, Has potential, Poor instrument playing

See it if this score has potential as a cute country-like production. Needs good singers and instrumentalists to leave a positive impression.

Don't see it if you can hardly tolerate bad instrument playing and very average singing with some out of tune notes.

Banal, Cliched, Disappointing, Amateurish

See it if you enjoy a show with a problematic book (with tons of cliches), a generic score, and an amateur cast. Poor singing & instrument playing.

Don't see it if you enjoy musicals with a strong book, an interesting score, and highly professional actors.

Clever, Absorbing, Great singing, Great staging, Great acting

See it if You loce a powerhouse of performers who can act, sing, dance and play instruments. The story and music are wonderful!

Don't see it if I voted this as Best of the NYMF fest among the shoes I saw. Can't think of why you would not go.
