The Radicalization of Rolfe (FringeNYC) NYC Reviews and Tickets

See it if You know the story of The Sound of Music-it helps with the underlying story & humor. Like performance of the back stories of lesser chacters

Don't see it if you think it will be a musical or campy production of SOM or offended by a cherished character that may have a 'deviant' dark side.

See it if The Sound of Music is a fav; open to a clever, humorous, yet moving piece, with fun lyric references. A few wonderful acting performances.

Don't see it if Gay relationships/action is a turn off. You're a TSOM purist. Are done with Nazi topics, even as referred to in a musical story.

See it if You want clever writing which thoughtfully and compellingly explores the lives of non-central characters from famous stories.

Don't see it if You're not prepared for themes of loyalty, strength, and sexuality -- all wrapped in the charm of the margins of a beloved story.

See it if You want to be entertained. You can enjoy a show that deals with diversity. You don't take life and plays so seriously. Want to laugh.

Don't see it if you're unfamiliar with The Sound of Music, you're homophobic, you can't see past minimal production values or only like elaborate production
