The Office! A Musical Parody

See it if If you like parodies like the Friends show or big bang theory. has some good acting and songs.

Don't see it if If you want a drama or do not like parodies. Some of it was a little stupid.

See it if Only if you are curious to see it and are going with a group. Slightly amusing. A few good lines. Not many.

Don't see it if You have not seen The Office. It will make no sense. However even if you have seen it this show will remind you and highlight all its flaws.

Also Whatever seemed benign in watching (and I haven’t watched an episode since it ended its run) will seem awful now. Basically I walked out thinking how did I even watch that on TV when I did?!?... Read more Read less

See it if you love The Office. All of your favorite quotes and moments are covered. All the actors were really funny and full of energy.

Don't see it if you do not like parodies. True fans will be a little bit annoyed that they changed some plot points and events were out of order.

See it if you're a fan of The Office and want to see a compilation of all the seasons put to music, and even a bit raunchier than the TV show.

Don't see it if you're not an Office fan, want something serious. You're expecting all characters to look just like their TV counterparts

Also Even though she did a fine job, I'm sure most are wondering why Michael, the main character, was played by a woman. Jim/Andy did a great job, as did Kevin. Dwight was also good. Miscasting: Angela looked too much like Pam and and Kelly had the voice but not the appearance. Overall, if you are a big Office fan, you'll enjoy it... Read more Read less

See it if You want to take a trip down memory lane and laugh at some of the most sweet & classic moments from "The Office."

Don't see it if You never watched the American version of the show or will be annoyed by no real plot or sub-par singing.

See it if you are a fan of The Office

Don't see it if if you never heard of The Office

Also I have to say right off that I have never seen The Office so the parody was lost on me. But I can say that the audience recognized the characters and laughed their a**es off.
That said, I have to say the the lyrics were entertaining and the choreography was magnificent.
And I am now interested in seeing The Office.... Read more Read less

See it if you're a superfan of The Office who wants to relive some of your favorite series moments, all packed into a wildly funny couple of hours.

Don't see it if You aren't a fan of The Office. You're looking for something even remotely serious.

Also I think it's very hard to take anything (a TV show, movie, etc.) that's already funny and parody it. That said, The Office! did a surprisingly good job with that. More often than simply reiterating an old joke, this musical managed to poke fun at the ridiculousness of the joke itself. Andy's strange way of talking becomes even more absurd; Michael's misspoken turns of phrase become even more topsy-turvy; the pace of Jim/Pam's relationship becomes breakneck rather than excruciatingly slow. There are a lot of clever references to other musicals and to various episodes throughout, making this a show that's both enjoyable for the theater fan and also for an Office superfan. The cast is overwhelmingly good at phasing in and out of roles (most play min. 2 characters), and the songs prove to be catchy and lyrically witty. It IS a chaotic show, though, so don't look for much semblance of plot. Oh, and try to see it from the main section, as the side seats don't have great visibility.... Read more Read less

See it if You're a fan of the tv show, younlike campy parodies

Don't see it if Ypu do not like the Office or kitschy songs

See it if you enjoyed the series.

Don't see it if you do not find parodies amusing.

See it if You have never seen the Office

Don't see it if You want to see a funny parody of an amazing show that deserved better. More thoughts below..

Also I saw the Friends Musical Parody and absolutely loved it, so i was very excited to hear the creators were writing one for The Office.
I was highly disappointed, it gave me the impression that the writers were big fans of Friends and just watched the Office once then decided to milk the parody. I dont think the musical show captured the essence of the characters, i think it missed important things that make The Office such an amazing TV series. I didnt laugh and thought for the most part it was kind of stupid.
Kudos to the actors that played Dwight and Jim, they nailed it. Other than that the performances were ok.
Also as a side note... the show i attended had the swing actress for Angela, they have a wig for every single character but they couldnt get a blonde wig for her? The actress had pitch black hair. It was just an added thing that bothered me.... Read more Read less

See it if Maybe it works if you are more than a casual viewer of the TV show. Otherwise it doesn't stand alone as a parody.

Don't see it if If you don't know the office. I hope its funny to people who do.

See it if You like musicals or are a fan of the American version of the show. Not having seen it on TV I didn't get the references - neither did most.

Don't see it if You like traditional musicals that tell a story. Some good performances though.

See it if you want to see a poorly done version of the beloved show. Not good. Bizarre casting choices-Michael is female. Some funny moments.

Don't see it if you expecting a parody on par with Game of Thrones, Friends or Sex in the City. This fell short on every level.

Also I was so disappointed by this production. There were some well acted moments, some of the actors truly captured the essence of their characters. The lead character, Michael Scott, was played by a female. It is one thing to play the opposite gender, but this is a musical and the voice was very much female.
Ultimately there was no original humor. These actors simply repeated the same storylines and dialogue that were played out in the series without putting a humorous spin or anything new on the original punchlines. Whatever the other reviews may say, my opinion was shared by a majority of the audience upon leaving. Just not that good.... Read more Read less

See it if You are a fan of the Office and like edgy parody

Don't see it if You dont like edgy comedy or have never seen the show

See it if you are a casual Office fan, enjoy exagerrated parodies

Don't see it if you do not enjoy the awkward humor of The Office, find eye contact with cast members uncomfortable

Also Every other line of this show is parotting of quotes and critical/favorite moments from the show, and not necessarily in the same sequential order the episodes played them out. This is consistent and at times seems self-serving. But as a parody, the musical makes sense, allowing the audience to see their favorite moments replayed live (and over-the-top). Inside jokes are peppered throughout, with the occasional tongue-in-cheek reference. The characters are depicted so accurately, especially Andrew Wade and Michael Santora, down to the speech and mannerisms. Katie Johantgen does a fantastic job. However, the show REALLY shines in its music arrangements, with delightful lyricism, references, themes, choreography. As with some parodies I’ve seen, I preferred the second part after you’ve settled into the approach and performances. I found myself sad for it to be over at the end. Lots of fun, especially in the intimate space.... Read more Read less

See it if you love The Office, are open-minded

Don't see it if it bothers you that Michael is played by a woman or expect the entire storyline to follow the show exactly

Also The actors are spot-on in their roles (especially the woman playing Michael)! There were some changes in the events of the show to try and make all the most iconic moments fit together and it is very fast-paced in an attempt to fit in as much as possible. The songs are a lot of fun and the actors' accurate impressions make this worth seeing.... Read more Read less

See it if If you are a fan of the office you’ll enjoy it

Don't see it if Not a fan of the office

See it if You are a fan of the TV show and like a small intimate venue. Cast is great!

Don't see it if You know nothing about the TV show - you won’t get the jokes even though it’s a fun show with great talent.

See it if you've seen The Office (hard core fan or even just a few episodes) and you're a fan of parody--this is parody at it's finest!

Don't see it if you've never seen The Office. The show will still be funny, but some jokes you may miss.

See it if You are a big fan of The Office. The parody show is funny and worth it. It included bits of all the greatest hits you would expect.

Don't see it if You are looking for a cohesive story or don’t like actors playing multiple roles. Or if you didn’t watch much of The Office series.

See it if If you love the tv show then you will find this adaption ok.

Don't see it if You don’t enjoy the tv show or don’t like a musical with a less overarching plot

See it if You're an Office (TV) Fan. Talented cast captures the characters/spirit of the TV show well and many episodes are reflected. Loved Dwight!

Don't see it if you're expecting a "Broadway" production. And if you're not a fan of the show, most jokes and portrayals will be lost on you.

See it if you liked the tv show and want to see more from that universe.

Don't see it if you don't like it when the same character plays different actors. Or if you dislike the Tv shoe

See it if you want to see the Office on stage. The same guy plays Andy and Jim which is sad because I wanted them to interact.

Don't see it if you have high expectations. Michael Scott is really great but it gets a bit old and they can't do certain parts of the show on stage.

See it if You are a HUGE The Office fan. Otherwise you can take or leave it.

Don't see it if You don’t like offensive language - this might be unexpected for some patrons.
