Must see, Great staging, Entertaining, Absorbing, Ambitious

See it if Sondheim would be proud of this smart, offbeat, intelligently quirky production! Gret sing, staging, and acting.

Don't see it if if the subject matter would 'trigger' you. Like REALLY?

Absorbing, Clever, Great singing, Entertaining, Ambitious

See it if you'd like to see a wonderfully faithful adaptation of the Sondheim classic. For a small stage, this show shines!

Don't see it if you have a hard time picking out vocals from the band — the music overpowered the singing despite the actors being mic'd. (TW: smoke, guns)
