BUZZ, Son of a Bee...an actor's life for me NYC Reviews and Tickets

See it if Enjoyable songlist that is somewhat of a cross between A Chorus Line (with a bit more of a plot) and the simplicity of The Fantastiks.

Don't see it if Not a strong story line Read more

See it if you want to see theater's inner working. A play about actors at various career levels auditioning & performing as played by acting students.

Don't see it if you expect professional level performances. These are students. They work hard but they are clearly still learning.

See it if You don't mind simple staging. You like a lot of singing (it is a musical). You want to hear some funny lines. There are moments to laugh.

Don't see it if You want something with more meat and potatoes as a play. You don't like musicals. You need elaborate staging.

See it if you like musicals even though the singing is so-so and the acting is so-so and the set is so-so...I left after the first act at intermission

Don't see it if you expect a memorable singing/acting experience. So-so comedy and so-so everything. Really probably a vanity project.

See it if you're looking for a show about actors trying to make it

Don't see it if you're looking for anything of substance, you won't find it here

See it if you appreciate charming, nostalgic musicals with simple plots and character relationships requiring no audience intellectual effort

Don't see it if you insist on memorable, outstanding lyrics and melodies, expert acting, a riveting plot or an important and relevant social/political theme

See it if You have the ability to see past the flaws and can imagine how it would be with a lot of reworking and a cast that was strong and talented.

Don't see it if You lose patience with poor performances and a script and music that needs to desperately improve as well as the ridiculous choreography

See it if you like to see a play in its beginnings,knowing it will need more development

Don't see it if you can't sit in very cramped seats
