See it if You feel bad for the cast, who are probably lovely people and probably know how bad the show is.
Don't see it if You can do anything else with your night. It's really that bad.
See it if U like current events relating to politics & media news in the form of a light hearted musical with good writing, acting,music.& staging.

See it if Meet John Aetta before the show, he wrote it, very nice person. I thought the show was okay, needs some tweaking but has a lot of potential.

Don't see it if you want big production values. This play is a small and intimate look at the consequences of such a childish, impulsive president for us.
See it if You will see anything critical of the current President (I certainly thought I would but this was actually too painful.)
Don't see it if You need a well-edited, clever script or good songs.
Also Most of the actors are either good or have potential but the pedestria... Read more Read less
