Fun!, Confusing, Funny, Entertaining, Delightful

See it if you don't mind a little imperfection in order to enjoy some great music/dance numbers. Convoluted plot but wonderful performances.

Don't see it if you need a show to be flawless. This show has potential; with a some editing and polish, it could really be something.

Entertaining, Delightful, Clever

See it if You want a really fun show with excellent singing and dancing. Some very cute songs as well. Strong cast.

Don't see it if You want a more serious show or you want big broadway staging and set design. Also there are only stairs and no elevator.

See it if It’s a cute 🥰 , campy musical, with ok singing, over-the-top, lgbtq, and semi-nude performers. It’s a good night out. It is a little over

Kismet, Kinky, Kind-spirited, Kooky, Kinetic

See it if You like high-energy and a plethora of musical numbers. You enjoy a homage to Broadway characters. You like a bit of spice in productions.

Don't see it if You seek perfection in theater. You are uncomfortable with bare booties and gay themes.

"...'Waiting in the Wings' could be the kind of show that attracts gaggles of gays during Pride month...But in a musical about stripping, less is definitely more."

" 'Waiting in the Wings' makes one hope that the whole can be reworked into something resembling its best parts."
