See it if you're a fan of Maltby-Shire songs, you like musicals with dramatic foundation that balances with comedy, you like shows about pregnancy.
Don't see it if you don't like chamber-style, simple staging; shows about trying to conceive; fairly realistic book that deals honestly with ups and downs.
See it if you like good musicals. The songs and melodies are still good. Looks at parenthood from different perspectives.
Don't see it if Sadly, the voices are not the strongest. Skip if you like your musicals light and airy. This show raises some interesting perspectives.
See it if if you like intelligent lyrics that address the subject in a funny, also touching, and moving manner. Good acting and staging.
Don't see it if if you like orchestrations played by skilled musicians. Here the piano accompanist supports the performance of the cast,
See it if You like hearing a little Yiddish and you like repetition.
Don't see it if You like good singers.
See it if nice musical with understandable words. Easy to watch. Good actors with godd singing. Standard themes. Should be 45 minutes shorter.
Don't see it if don't like bland musicals that are too long.
See it if You like the theme of babies and how they affect lives. A pleasant show is fine, it need not be great. Very simple staging is OK with you.
Don't see it if You are looking for earth shaking spectacular music and drama. Baby is not on that scale. The theme is pregnancy and its highs and lows.
See it if You've never heard this score before, you like stories about relationships and what bonds people together, nice songs with witty lyrics.
Don't see it if Don't like parenting themes (hoped for, thwarted, unexpected) etc. This production is generally ok, but often uninspired, dull, long.
See it if You enjoy parenting — & Maltby and Shire's generally clever & well-crafted, rarely seen work, but here a little too "Broadway" & dated.
Don't see it if You don't like or want babies; if friends' preoccupation with pregnancy annoys; if a bare-bones production & uneven cast is too lacking.
