See it if You want a wonderful, heart warming show featuring great actresses and singers, a day at the York Theatre, and wonderful music.
Don't see it if You want elaborate sets, don't want to go to the E Side. No reason NOT to go.
See it if You enjoy riding the wave of female-only shows, or if you want to hear several good, new songs in the context of a reasonable good show.
Don't see it if You like to see men on stage as well as women, or if you don't like female-centric musicals.
See it if You like shows with strong female leads. Like good singing.
Don't see it if You expect a complex story with complex characters.
See it if you like musicals with a feminine theme...
Don't see it if you don't like shows about the narrowmindedness of Bible thumpers and their hate for those who are different than they are...
See it if you enjoy a great singing and an intergenerational family tale. Solid performances from the entire casts. An enjoyable evening out!
Don't see it if you are looking for a big production musical. If you have issues with diversity.
See it if You are interested in a musical about three generations of women. The characters are stereotyped. The singing, music and acting are terrific
Don't see it if You are conservative or don’t like all female casts
See it if You want to see a new musical with a mostly accomplished score and really resonant performances.
Don't see it if You have a lack of patience for the tried and true dynamics of a dysfunctional family. The story gets a bit bogged down in its latter half.
See it if As a Christian my initial reaction as the show progressed was uncomfortable as there is “Christian bashing” and generalities voiced as facts
Don't see it if You are conservative Christian and don’t want to see a show which bashes your beliefs. Read more
