Insipid, Slow, Quirky, Confusing, Ambitious

See it if you want to see a large cast, in a long production, giving it a go to be entertaining on issues of the art world. Some good moments.

Don't see it if you want a well edited and acted play. There are good elements here in need of refinement. Most acting more suited to screen than stage.

Ambitious, Entertaining, Needs editing, Slow, Disappointing

See it if You don’t mind seeing a show that is really still not ready for prime time ! You enjoy satire, especially when it’s aimed at the A list !

Don't see it if Everything needs to be perfect for you to enjoy a play. You have no interest in the trials and tribulations of the world of modern art.

Slow

See it if A few funny moments where the art dealer thinks the crap "art" is worth paying top-dollar for.

Don't see it if But most of the 2 hours 15 minutes drags big time, many walkouts at intermission, many yawns. Desperate need of severe editing.

Absorbing, Slow, Relevant, Funny

See it if U like a story that mixes contemporary art world w/contemporary politics & society. Needs further editing, it’s 2 long & repetitive.

Don't see it if You’re impatient and looking for a fully developed play.

Quirky, Resonant, Entertaining, Clever

See it if Support smaller venues, enjoy a fun night out, see a satire on the A listers, can apprciate the absurd, can laugh at the absurd.

Don't see it if You don't like satire, need a fancy venue, don't like traveling downtown, aren't open to new experiences, expect a fancy set. Read more

Skewers an easy target for two hours, Cliched, Talky and uninvolving, Unimaginative, Paints itself into a corner

See it if you enjoy humor poking fun at wealthy art collectors; your pal is in the cast of SIXTEEN; you don't mind very uncomfortable chairs for 2 hrs

Don't see it if a talky play with limited scope will irk you; you prefer plays with characters you can relate to; you like comedies that deliver big laughs Read more

Slow, Romantic, Fluffy, Funny, Entertaining

See it if a spoof on what "art" is , mixed in with a bit of a love story , would possibly entertain you

Don't see it if if you dislike long , slow, drawn out plays. Seating was uncomfortable and first act was too long Read more
