Absorbing, Moving, Ambitious, Great staging

See it if letters to an advice columnist voiced by actors as they walk thru the columnist's living room & kitchen; emotional responses by 'Sugar'

Don't see it if you want a plot, drama, & well-developed characters; don't want a variety of emotional life stories Read more

Thought-provoking, Charming, Great acting

See it if You like small-scale personal plays about humanity

Don't see it if A lot of the dialogue felt like it was pulled from generic inspirational quotes about life and happiness

Great staging, Relevant, Thought-provoking, Slow

See it if you’d like to see a conversational & multi character play that shows you human connection in the form of an advice column & responses.

Don't see it if you prefer your plays with plot or linear narratives.

Touching, Long-winded, Great acting

See it if you would enjoy a play with a small cast that explores very human problems and moments.

Don't see it if Many around me were moved to tears, but I didn't feel the same emotional impulse. A sweet reminder of what makes life worth living.

Resonant, Wise, Weepy, Warm, Slow

See it if Advice columnist comes to terms with her own grief, regrets, and mistakes in life through interactions with her followers. Enlightening.

Don't see it if Plods along due to lack of character development, conflict, and plot. I checked my watch about an hour through. Enjoyable in a low key way.

Absorbing, Great acting, Great staging, Intelligent, Resonant

See it if Feels like a theatrical exercise and lacks narrative development but is a deeply emotional very deep dive into empathy and shared humanity

Don't see it if You need narrative development and don’t like any hint of raw emotion and sentimentality
