See it if Earnest, rough-edged revival of Lawson's pre-Rent showcase. Able acting & singing fail to ignite lackluster book. But songs are heartfelt

See it if you love Rent/Larson and are interested in seeing an earlier work. The staging/ choreography is great, and the performers are engaging.

Don't see it if too-smart, self-serving works aren't your thing. There is a lot to like here, but some of it comes off as navel-gazing.
