See it if Great performances. A look at a very difficult time for gay people, that is thwnkfully, over.
Don't see it if I found it hard to look at how difficult gay people’s lives were then. It was painful to watch how casually cruel people were.

See it if You want to see a heartfelt play about LGBT issues that are still relevant today. Both funny and heartbreaking at the same time.
Don't see it if You can still envision Harvey Fierstein in the role of Arnold. Michael Urie is great but too much whining in his delivery at times.
See it if A reboot of Fierstein's 80's gay landmark dramedy Part history lesson part social study & all love story this song still sings. Urie's great
Don't see it if Kaufmann's direction gets a little slack in 2nd act where a lot of the editing is but ensemble carries the load. Reuhl galvanizes 3rd act
