Original, Fluffy, Great choreography, Great singing

See it if you enjoy a light-hearted show with a lot of potential and an extremely talented cast. Standouts: Finley, Kent, Jain & Kenkel (choreo)

Don't see it if you don't like developmental work. I believe the show should go for a more wacky tone. It isn't perfect, but it has definite potential.

Funny, Quirky, Great singing

See it if you enjoy new musicals with a great cast and tight ensemble. While some of the performances were uneven, as a whole they were charming.

Don't see it if you only enjoy totally polished & finished productions. It's a lot of fun & an entertaining story, but needs some work.

Entertaining, Great acting, Funny, Great singing

See it if you want to see big talents. Some of the choreography are cheesy, but it was an overall fun show!

Don't see it if you're expecting a grand production.

Delightful, Quirky, Great singing

See it if It was just ok for me. The songs were cute, the actors invested, it just wasn't my thing. It was all me, just didn't connect.

Don't see it if I say give it a try. I can see someone else getting a kick out of it.

Clever, Great staging, Fluffy, Great dancing, Bad music

See it if You're a scrabble geek, appreciate great choreography and dancing, and want to support diverse musical theatre (there's an Indian lead!)

Don't see it if You want good or plot-relevant music (the songs seem almost an afterthought in Act 1), or want a sympathetic protagonist (he's the worst)

Lazy, Cliched, Dated, Offensive, Great singing

See it if you thought Honeymoon in Vegas was hilarious but wished the music and lyrics were dumber. Decent vocals and lots of dancing. Not a bad cast.

Don't see it if you thought Nick Bottom was incredibly annoying. You don't like repetitive songs that seem endless. You expect a Scrabble show to be clever.
