Must see, Refreshing, Entertaining, Enchanting, Delightful

See it if Like the Andrew Sisters' USO type music,? you'll definitely enjoy AMERICAS's SWEETHEARTS. They also do some modern tunes. Nice costumes.

Don't see it if If you're too young to appreciate the 40s & 50s WWII USO tunes by the Andrew Sisters, you might want to pass on this one. Read more

Promising?, Underdeveloped, Indulgent, Cliched

See it if you want to see a collection of okay songs performed by very earnest (and fairly talented) young actors.

Don't see it if you want a book that makes sense at all. The plot had more holes in it than a whorehouse. And most of the jokes were worse than that.

Funny, Entertaining, Cliched, Fluffy, Raunchy

See it if You want to support young actors, enjoy an intimate setting, and are no expecting a full, massive production.

Don't see it if You only want broadway caliber stuff; Sami Staitman has a bright future, and Eli LaCroix had his moments, but the show itself was subpar.

Entertaining, Cliched, Clever

See it if I like the small shows that really try. Every show starts somewhere so give this cute show a break! The acting is wonderful

Don't see it if You want big broadway. The music would be better performed with a 3 piece band... singing was great dates script but the actors worked hard

I'll say this for 'The Green Room': There isn't a single moment that appears to have any connection with real life; that's something you don't see every day

"These four characters are, unfortunately, not interesting enough to fill a 90-minute musical, especially one that covers territory better served by other shows like 'A Chorus Line,' 'Fame 'and 'Merrily We Roll Along,' all superior to the earnest, but predictable 'Green Room.'"

"Cheesily produced, cliché-riddled, creakily written, and cartoonishly performed…While…Pelletier's mostly generic score, with acknowledged nods to…Sondheim and…Larson, is the show's most promising element, this cast-okay when singing harmony-lacks the chops to do the tougher ones much justice."
