Clever, Insightful, Educational, Thought-provoking, Absorbing

Immersive, Great staging, Quirky, Entertaining

See it if a campy, gay, and fun musical with a mildly preachy book. Also, if you like to be "transported"

Ambitious, An semi-immersive musical/play. a moving, warm, recommended show on bleeker st., Charming, warm emotional songs.

See it if You like charming, immersive, musicals. A sensible dramatic musical show with gay oriented subject matter would move you.

Don't see it if ...you're not into tender musical dramas.
