America's Favorite Newscaster

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 You're interested in an over-done parody of the current political climate and associated media coverage

Don't see it if You want to see a show with substance, good music, or one that can be taken seriously

See it if The only alternative is staring at a wall for two hours.

Don't see it if You've heard all the stupid Trump jokes already.

See it if You have a friend in the cast.

Don't see it if You want something of good quality. Poor writing, poor acting, poor directing.

See it if You haven't watched the news in the last year.

Don't see it if You expect more of a script than screes, an adequate TRUMP impersonator and a couple of so-so songs.

See it if you know someone involved with the show

Don't see it if you can help it

Also My mother always said, if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all.

I thought the lead had a nice singing voice.

That's all I can say.... Read more Read less

See it if you know someone in the cast? Maybe?

Don't see it if just don't.

Also The language is flowery and dense for no apparent reason, the songs don't flow with the dialogue, and there's nothing resembling nuance. It's the trope of the gifted man, ignoring his exploitation to follow his calling, complete with a woman who just has to learn to accept that his negligence of her is part of who he is. It goes after the president in the crudest and least satisfying way possible (and that's if you agree with the author, as I happen to), adding nothing of substance to the conversation and even failing to satisfy a need for cathartic release.

I have never seen a more poorly conceived or written show, ever. I feel bad for the actors.... Read more Read less

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 pedestrian script is sorely lacking. Given the outrageousness of its real-life subject, the script needs to hit hard. Needs to be much, much smarter and funnier.... Read more Read less

See it if you don't mind a plot that goes nowhere and a production that is worse than many high schools produce.

Don't see it if you enjoy good live theater. How did this get produced? Truly bad.

See it if You want to see a talented cast struggle through an absolutely awful script, bad songs, and shoddy direction.

Don't see it if You don't want to get your hopes up and be disappointed.

Also I wanted to like this so much because we need more anti-Trump theatre in the world...but it was just painful. The script is inconsistent, songs are poorly written, and the cast is clearly just doing the best they can with awful material.
Shout-out though to the man playing Trump, who has "the voice" down pat and was making me cringe in recognition in my seat.... Read more Read less

See it if if you have absolutely nothing else to see.

Don't see it if you want to spend a night shaking your head at bad trump humor. The trump impersonator was the worst.

Also It had the strangest dialog. No one really talks like this. The writer was trying to be too clever and then the lyrics were so sophomoric. The space was great and the set pieces were terrific.
I liked the lead characters, they both sang really well... Read more Read less

See it if Saturday Night Live isn't on.

Don't see it if You have other options.

Also Had high hopes for this given the subject matter, but this was kind of painful to watch. The cast was decent, but the writing was such a mess that they couldn't do much to salvage it...... Read more Read less

See it if you want to be bored to death. Bad - actually silly - direction.

Don't see it if you're smart! Not worth your time.

See it if Don’t see it

Don't see it if Don’t see it

See it if you want some quick jabs at Trump, quirky numbers, and a predictable storyline

Don't see it if you're a fan of 45, you want things to pass the Bechdel test, you want to watch the acting exercise of actors trying to work w/bad writing.
