See it if Very creative Anna a touch of old/new with so much energy. More funny than sad.
Don't see it if you want the serious, sad Anna Karenina. Read more
See it if you love theater. Just a fabulous evening! Singing Dancing Lugubrious Russians. All the good stuff!
Don't see it if Knowing the novel will keep you from enjoying this delightful production.
See it if you would like two hours of non-stop dazzlement: spunky music, a young, energetic troupe of actors, laughter, costumes & great direction.
Don't see it if you want this tale untouched by both current writing and music composition brilliance that relates to so much today.
See it if you'd like a funny, smart, entertaining, edgy, creative, well-staged/acted/sung reimagining of AK. I loved it! So did the audience. Brava!
Don't see it if you dislike broad comedy or need high production values (altho costumes are great). Intellig feminist angle. Prodn deserves a wider audience
See it if Tolstoy's novel presented as extravaganza of talents, music, jokes, and moral.Even tragedy gives you not a desperation but just sadness.
Don't see it if You are a bookworm who dosn't accept even slightly different interpretation of classical book. Dislike shows "on budget" Read more
See it if you want an entertaining retelling of a classic done in a clever and funny way (and with music!).
Don't see it if you don't like classics retold or actors playing multiple minor roles
See it if Surprising approach to this classic tragedy. Fresh and funny, without losing insight into Anna and others. Did I mention clever music?
Don't see it if Skip it if you have no interest in literature or are entirely unfamiliar with the Russian mood. Well worth a 5-min review of Cliffs Notes.
See it if you want to be challenged in an entertaining way
Don't see it if you are against adaptating or updating classics
