Disappointing, Edgy, Quirky, Funny, Entertaining

See it if you would enjoy a new look at the Oscar Wilde play that only follows the plot a bit. Colorful costumes and a good effort by the cast.

Don't see it if you are looking for the Oscar Wilde play as it was written. Difficult small stage theater for a play of this sort.

Funny, Entertaining, Clever

See it if You or someone close to you is in the LGBTQ+ community, or you like shows that bring out the true meaning of being LGBTQ+.

Don't see it if You are expecting Oscar Wilde's play, or dislike actors playing extremely campy roles to show the community and it's positives and negatives
