Don't see it if you don't like sudden changes in mood, you aren't a fan of drag or acapella, or if you don't enjoy thinking about politics.

Also "Things You Shouldn't Say" was enjoyable, with great singing and performance all around. Between the fantastic songs and witty, humorous personas, the Kinsey Sicks slow down to talk seriously about the history of the queer community - history that is *not* very old.

I will say the sudden change of mood was jarring. Straight from laughing in response to a joke, the tone got very serious. I thought the conversation there was incredibly important, and I'm so glad it was a part of the show. I was still tearing up in my seat when jokes return to pull us back up into laughter. I felt the transitions there could use some fine tuning, at least for me personally, I wasn't ready to laugh again quite yet (although they did a fantastic job of coaxing the laugh out of me anyway).

I laughed, I cried exactly twice, and I left feeling even more inspired to stand up and speak out as passionately as these Queens... Read more Read less

Also Not the very best work of the Sicks, but even when medium they are great. this is a bit more serious than their usual show, which is touching, and persuasively emotional, but somewhat less entertaining than usual.... Read more Read less

See it if You're up for a fun hilarious evening of amazing 4part acapela drag both silly & quite serious, spot-on & important in this political moment

Don't see it if You're homophobic or Republican; it simply won't be pleasant for you, all those raunchy drag queens and all that AIDS/HIV and LGBTQ talk.

Also The Kinsey drag queens are radiant & fabulous, not to mention talented, their tight, four-part harmonies as subtle, complicated & expert as their sharply defined stage personas.

Unlike their concurrent Oy Vey Christmas show, which is mostly all holiday silliness & parody, this is an evening of outrageous political drag theatre, one which—as they say of their own drag intentions—appropriately aims to put the rage into outrage.

With the origin story of the Kinsey Sicks as a setup, this show is a scathing, sometimes caustic meditation & reveal of this exact Trumpian moment in our cultural and political history, one which in the gay community has been arrived at through the toil and sacrifice of so many.

The seated, stunning free-form monologue by founding member Schatz stops the show cold toward the end; it's a dose of reality and recognition that the past is pretty current after all, that resistance isn't futile but necessary, and that truth must be vocal and not at all polite.... Read more Read less

See it if You want to laugh a lot while being entertained and informed. You want to hear some truths. You want to hear some great singing.

Don't see it if You don't like to laugh. You don't want to hear some amazing voices. You don't want to hear about the struggles. You are too serious.

Also The singing was phenomenal. I enjoyed the dragappela production. I smiled and laughed so much. There were also a lot of truths revealed in this show. Some other reviewers said that there were times when the mood was brought down because of these truths but I think it's good to be informed and sometimes life will get you down but then we get back up again. That is life. That did not take anything away from this performance for me. I loved it.... Read more Read less

See it if You are a fan of or enjoy drag queen shows with some important messages attached.

Don't see it if You might be put off by the above, are homophobic or a Trump supporter.

See it if you enjoy drag and a cappella. The songs' lyrics are terrific--funny and insightful. The book isn't as good. The four singers are talented.

Don't see it if you want only light fare; TYSS gets heavy w/an AIDS monologue. Some parts are raunchy (lots of swearing). Audience participation.

Also There's a lot to enjoy and admire at TYSS. Time flew by. Some of the script's humor is too easy and broad, but the lyrics are all clever. Don't expect consistent tone: there's a significant portion dedicated to remembrance/anger.... Read more Read less
