See it if This is a faithful, almost flawless reproduction of the Pulitzer Prize-winning classic. Stellar dancing and intense acting.

Don't see it if You want a fluffy night of theater. You don't love music,drama, and dancing.

Also The intimacy of the comfortable theater adds to the immediacy of the strong drama and includes us, with those dazzling rear mirrors, at times.
Many stellar performances!!!... Read more Read less

See it if Exuberant and powerful production of an iconic show. Attractive and distinctive cast. Dazzlingly and energetic choreography. First rate!

Don't see it if you want a conventional musical. You may not be able to get the cast recording/other productions out of your head.Some lengthy monologues.

Don't see it if Don’t want to travel to Brooklyn

See it if This show is one of the all-time greats, and this production does not disappoint. Wonderful to see it in an intimate theatre.

Don't see it if Just see it!

Also Steven Rada delivers the best "Paul" monologue I have ever seen in any production on Broadway, off-Broadway, regionally, or on film! Hands down, THE BEST! Wonderful casting. Each and every performer brought it--- they all had something that made me want to keep watching them. Really,really great production.... Read more Read less

See it if You love musicals or great characters.

Don't see it if If you want it to be vastly different from the original.

Also This is the show that began my love of theater. I went in with high expectations and I was not disappointed.

You may find a few better dancers or singers elsewhere, but here you will feel a connection. They keep you thorougly engaged and, with the exception of one or two, the characters felt a lot more real than the actors I've seen in these roles before. You will find yourself caring more, feeling more and cheering more. Because of this, it's my favorite production outside of 1975 Broadway.

I loved that they stayed true to the original choreography. Great casting, acting, staging and direction.

Something to improve would be a sound issue where, on occasion, the band was louder than the singer could overcome and I would miss lyrics.... Read more Read less

See it if The show has great singing and dancing. Also very powerful characters

Don't see it if If you don't like great singing and dancing then don't go but go anyway

See it if You want to see a great production of a popular musical and support a wonderful community theater group

Don't see it if You are unwilling to travel to Brooklyn

See it if You want a good energetic story about show business. Great dancing...singing...worth a trip to Brooklyn...

Don't see it if You want splashy sets and childish storylines...

See it if you like a small intimate theater in Brooklyn and a delightful show that keeps you entertained throughout the entire performance. Loved it!

Don't see it if you're not intersted in hearing the stories of those who perform in the chorus of a big show.

See it if you want to see a classic show in an intimate space, support smaller theaters and up-and-coming performers

Don't see it if you need a high budget production. This is very stripped down (even for an already modest show).

See it if If you have fond memories of the original, this won't disappoint. If you've never seen it, this should make you a fan. Bravo Gallery Players

Don't see it if you don't care for revivals. Give this one a chance.

Also Inspired use of a small playing area with a large cast. Many of the performers have limited experience yet were extremely talented. I love this show.... Read more Read less

See it if You want to watch a classic. The cast was great, it was a lot of fun.

Don't see it if You're not into musicals, or you are expecting a Broadway experience. This is a pretty low key production but still pretty fantastic IMO.

See it if The bones & gristle of a classic are for U. The small theater puts U IN the rehearsal studio-lets U feel the pathos in the dancers' stories

Don't see it if U need BIG BWAY. That glitzy finale doesn't play quite the same, but the theater's intimacy serves the play well. Some voices are muffled.

Also AND it's performed with a live band.

See it if you are a fan of the original--this does a good job of capturing the spirit. Performances are mostly good especially group numbers

Don't see it if you just aren't a fan of the work. If you expect Broadway caliber. If you don't go to Brooklyn. It's a schlep.

See it if You want great dancing, funny and occasionally tearjerking songs, and an interesting ensemble cast

Don't see it if You want flashy sets, you're bothered by outdated stereotypes of black and Asian characters, you care about pacing (Chorus Line is slowwwww)

See it if if you like A Chorus Line, if you like clever musicals and plots about ordinary life, if you like to support a small and lovely theater

Don't see it if if you don't like musicals about show business, if you expect a high budget production

Also Some of the actors couldn't project, not sure if it's the acoustics or if it's because it was a dress rehearsal, but I enjoyed it anyway... Read more Read less

See it if You like behind the scenes of Broadway

Don't see it if Must have a Broadway theater

See it if you enjoy thought-provoking theater.

Don't see it if you don't enjoy musicals.

See it if I went to the final dress rehearsal. If you haven't seen any production of this remarkable musical then by all means go.

Don't see it if This one sticks to the original staging/dialogue etc so don't expect many changes. The talking part dragged, just as it did in other prod...

Also The simple but powerful staging still gives me thrills although it's 40 years old. The liveliness beaming from the young characters, the enthusiasm, the juxtaposition of hope and anguish still hit the spot. Although the plot seemed a bit trite today, the realness, which I think is the most important feature that gives this production life, can still be very touching.
Individually the actors are all good but nothing extraordinary, maybe except Shiloh Goodin, her solo dance was great. The ensemble as a whole on the other hand is really strong.... Read more Read less

See it if Iconic musical is given a first rate production even with Gallery's minimal resources. Actors playing Paul, Sheila & Diana shine Ensemble A+

Don't see it if Musicians overpower singers at times - some weak voices including Cassie (what she couldn"t do is sing) but high energy & slick staging win
