Intelligent, Resonant, Slow, Intense, Great singing

See it if you like musicals that pull from other music genres and stray from a traditional Broadway feel

Don't see it if You don't like folk-type shows or slightly cliched story lines that feel more like a classic novel than a new-age musical

Preachy, Confusing, Disappointing, Some beautiful songs

See it if you like bluegrass music enough to overlook that this is a concept album that's yet to figure out a workable script or believable characters

Don't see it if you'll be bothered by a script that feels shoehorned around songs (some gorgeous, others forgettable) and that tells more than it shows

Refreshing, Great singing, Ambitious, Work in progress

See it if you enjoy folk music or want to watch a show in the early stages of its development.

Don't see it if you're looking for something polished. Don't get me wrong, this show has a lot of potential. It's just not there yet.

Derivative, Nice harmonies, Shrug

See it if Interested in Children of Eden meets Bright Star*. To support young, talented actor-musicians. *see Bright Star review.

Don't see it if Annoyed by a muddy sound mix that drowns out lyrics. Want songs that move a plot, not a plot mashed together to justify songs.

Original, All star cast, Indie, Thought-provoking, Hit

See it if you love alternative theater. Folk inspired score with a great cast- Kathryn Gallagher is awesome. Original approach to Dust Bowl story.

Don't see it if you are turned off by actors playing instruments or folk musicals.
