We Are The Tigers

See it if You want to see some excellent coming of age songs woven together with an over the top campy slasher. Part Dear Even Hansen part Scream.

Don't see it if If you can’t think outside the box. This show defies most labels. It’s not completely any one thing. You may see that as a flaw or a plus.

Also I liked this show. Silly book but the songs were fabulous and the set was top notch along with a large, better than average cast made for a great fun evening.... Read more Read less

See it if Excellent pop style music and vocals. Energetic, enjoyable performers. Fun choreography. Lots of action in a small space.

Don't see it if The story makes no sense. The songs are best appreciated out of context. The comedic moments work better than the dramatic ones.

See it if You enjoy rock singing, great voices, and slasher films (blood & gore as certain cheerleaders get killed in the shower, etc).

Don't see it if You don't like horror movies or rock music or talented voices singing. Would love to hear a soundtrack!

See it if you’d enjoy a funny slasher flick in comic murder-mystery form. There isn’t much mystery as to whodunnit, but the journey entertains anyway.

Don't see it if you need a more challenging narrative that doesn’t pretty much announce the killer from the get-go.

See it if Has the makings of a good show. The music is ok. Acting is cute. Mimi Scardulla standout! High concept mystery murder cheerleader spoof.

Don't see it if lyrics with the accent on the wrong syllable annoy you. Fuzzy plot, that almost works.

See it if You like upbeat music with a super cast and a plot that keeps you guessing till the end. Lotsa humor too!!!

Don't see it if You don't like stories about High School and the troubles young teens have growing up in in a competitive world.

See it if THIS SHOW SHOULD NOT WORK. The book is a mess. But Preston Max Allen knows how to write a song. And the cast sings the hell out of the show

Don't see it if It's super entertaining...but it's weird and the story doesn't really gel. As long as you're cool with that, you should enjoy it.

See it if Refreshing and funny, makes for a great night out. Think Clueless meets Mean Girls. A Whodunit with music and fun. I enjoyed this show.

Don't see it if You don't like Clueless, or Mean Girls or cheerleaders. If you don't like musicals or fun. If you are a Bway snob, this venue is NOT for you

Also Clever musical with lots of talented actors. A whodunit that will have you guessing....but in the meantime you'll have fun.... Read more Read less

See it if I totally loved it! Seriously. I wasn't sure how I'd feel. Great set, actors were on par, singing (overall) was great; the lyrics- hilarious

Don't see it if There were cliched roles, but, they worked. Every single role worked. There was some pitchy singing by one actor and intermission seemed

Also Long because of the "cleanup", but, worth it. I never stopped laughing. Definitely a must-see (again)!! There is some LGBT reference, bullying, harsh language, violence, and gore, but, it's so campy, it's awesome.... Read more Read less

See it if Fantastic musical score. Great performances. Reviewers got this wrong because this show is really amusing.

Don't see it if This show has no real story and is stupid and silly, however, this music is a goldmine and is great audition material. I had a great time.

See it if You like slasher pics, a lot of adolescent humor, a terrific score sung by great voices and one of the best sets I’ve ever seen!

Don't see it if Tenn angst and silliness is not your idea of relevant theatre.

Also I’d have given this a 100, save for the unfortunate tech mishap that briefly stopped the show. This is a fun, funny concept, terrific music and a cast of very talented young women (and man). GO TIGERS!!!... Read more Read less

See it if you’re a fan of campy material, female-led shows, and new musicals

Don't see it if you are easily squeamish (the gore is minimal but very present) or if you prefer classical musicals vs contemporary ones

Also Uneven is the word that sums this one up for me. Mostly good score. A few strong performances (Mimi Scardulla is a standout). Messy direction and choreography. I kind of wish it had been a one act? Nice design, but it felt out of place in that quirky little theatre. The sound balance was jarring and made everyone sound too over-produced. It is riding the fine line of angst vs camp and I just wish it was more of the latter. The conclusion was a let down. This show could use some more work. However, the strongest parts of the show make me look forward to seeing what Preston Max Allen does in the future. All in all, worth checking out as long as you keep your expectations low.... Read more Read less

See it if Sweetly, CARRIE meets SCREAM meets MEAN GIRLS meets CLUELESS. Lovely performances. Very nicely staged. Lovely singing voices, too.

Don't see it if A bit of allowing for some silly conceit, is necessary, of course. (Why didn't they call the cops? lol )

See it if you enjoy a dark yet funny character-driven show with great voices and upbeat music. Unexpectedly great!

Don't see it if you're expecting serious drama. You really can't stand one more high school show. (Okay, I fall in this camp, but I liked it anyway.)

Also I'm a sucker for a musical with a murder, and this one didn't disappoint. Although I think the show could use about 25% fewer songs and some more variety in the score (it's all upbeat, poppy music), the women in this musical absolutely rocked. (I'm refraining from saying "killed it.")

The voices and performances from this cast were top-notch, perfectly balancing the dark humor, the fear, the sadness, the immaturity of high school, and the conflicted feelings of coming-of-age. I was surprised by how much emotion these girls made me feel--particularly Mimi Scardulla and Jenny Rose Baker--but the whole cast was truly impressive. I could listen to Wonu Ogunfowora sing all day, and Lauren Zakrin really commanded the stage with a perfectly in-character performance.

Overall, We Are the Tigers is a great, entertaining show with a superb cast of characters and a fun murder mystery. What's not to like?... Read more Read less

See it if you like mediocre teen-based musicals.

Don't see it if you expect it to be funny, scary or remotely interesting.

Also The major problem with the show is that the creative team wrote the wrong show. It should be a somewhat scary but very funny and campy slasher musical, but instead the show is a basic, uninspired and surprisingly dramatic teen show that only remembers to be funny or interesting on occasion. I kept thinking about all the jokes and gags that should have been here. A total missed opportunity of a musical.... Read more Read less

See it if You enjoy campy horror and girls belting in your face. The writing is really funny and performances are great

Don't see it if You’re easily offended or squeamish with blood. It won’t change your life but it’s a really fun night of theater.

See it if You ever wondered what a Scream/Bring It On mash up would look like. Amazing tech all around for Off-Broadway standards.

Don't see it if Plot is what you are looking for...while well executed the book could use a little more of both movies it draws inspiration from.

See it if You are looking for a fun, silly musical that is sure to keep your foot tapping and a smile on your face. Cast of great singers!

Don't see it if You want perfectly polished material with a book that makes total cohesive sense.

Also The Book was a bit wonky, but the score...Ohemgee! I love!!!! And these girls can blow!

It was so much fun to watch and I was intrigued the whole time.... Read more Read less

See it if You don't have a lot of money to spend, but want to see a musical with some good singing.

Don't see it if You are expecting an interesting story, characters, or music. It wasn't campy enough to be funny or serious enough for me to care.

See it if You wanna travel downtown out of the theatre distract

Don't see it if You want strong direction and something new. Talented cast but it went no where. Way too overhyped.
