Great writing, Great acting, Funny, Touching, Resonant

See it if you enjoy a love story that examines what makes a family for better or for worse. Fierstien's script shines fiercely with a brilliant cast!

Don't see it if LGBT stories turn you off. It may take place 40 years ago but is relevant as ever. One can only hope it transfers to Broadway again.
