The Office! A Musical Parody

See it if you enjoyed the series.

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

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 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 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 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 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 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.

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

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

Don't see it if You've never seen The Office or if you're a die hard fan that will be bothered by the caricature feel of some of the characters.

Also The actress who plays Michael Scott is a breath of fresh air and a lovely take on such an iconic character.... Read more Read less

See it if You like to see a quick version of all the season of the show with some clever musical numbers

Don't see it if You’ve already seen the show and you’re expecting a new twist on them- it’s literally all the same

See it if You have nothing else to do.

Don't see it if You love the office.

Also I can tell that people worked hard on this production, but really it’s a tourist trap. They are making money off of the office name and
a) not doing it justice
b) did not have original humor and
c) made a weird out-of-chronological-order musical that was decent at best.
Michael Scott was abysmal—she did not capture Steve Carrell at all in any sense and was way, way, way over-the-top.

Don’t waste your time and money!!!... Read more Read less

See it if It’s not a parody. It’s just people reciting a list of traits / things that happened in the office. Like “I am obsessed with beets.”

Don't see it if You’re trusting the reviews above. It’s a tourist trap, we walked out. It’s clearly not written by fans of the show.

Also I know, you’re thinking “but I REALLY love the office, maybe I should still go!” Nope, that’s all the more reason not to. It’s like watching your cousin describe the show to you after dinner.... Read more Read less

Don't see it if You don’t like the commercialization of Broadway, you want a serious show
