See it if you are a sci-fi fan, and have nothing better to do. It uses every cliche in the book to try and tell a story. Just doesn't always work.
Don't see it if you want a serious show. I enjoyed moments of it, but as a complete show I was bored, since it was very predictable. Read more
See it if sci-fi parody, now scripted improv musical, Fringe-esque-ishness, silly fun, low rent production values are in your wheelhouse
Don't see it if anything Fringe-like, pun-ishness, low rent production values, silver spanks, anything 2 nipped, could drive you over the edge

"Fasten your seat belts. It’s going to be a bumpy night. 'Turbulence!' rocks the Soho Playhouse more than Margo Channing could ever have imagined. The bumps are actually convulsions of laughter evoked by the hilarity onstage...Music is light and tuneful. Songs maintain the same mock seriousness that infuses the spoken parts of the show. Pritchard keeps it amazingly smooth...It’s all of a piece, with fine performances all around from the game cast."

“An energetic hour of silly sci-fi fun...Directed in a comically casual style reminiscent of an extended SNL TV sketch, the spirited creators/performers of Robot Teammate fully embrace their wacky future vision with full-out goofiness and gusto...While ‘Turbulence!’ does include some serious underlying messages, Robot Teammate presents them in the entertaining context of an amusing outer-space adventure, in a laugh-filled offering that’s a blast for the whole family.”
