See it if You like pleasant mood music, singing choreography and dance with a bit of a plot about the era.
Don't see it if if you don't like sitting in uncomfortably low seats for a long 70 minutes
See it if you're up for a musical that doesn't feel like a musical -- more like a fuzzy dream sequence in song. It was lovely if a a bit slow.
Don't see it if you want a clearly-defined plot or a lot of razzle dazzle.
See it if You like song and dance without the need for strong story. Great singers, interesting songs, interesting "story." (Poor lighting design)
Don't see it if You need a strong story. Or if in a play about immigration in 1910, you think the casting might lack...imagination.
See it if You're in the mood for live music and like pretty ballads. Singers and musicians are knockouts.
Don't see it if You feel stupid when you don't know whats going on.
See it if you value work for its potential. This needs a story/a book desperately. But the raw talent of the cast, musicians, music itself: amazing!
Don't see it if you want a big show, or a coherent story. It's missing a lot right now.
See it if You want to hear a talented ensemble sing pretty songs.
Don't see it if No book so the story is VERY light. Musical numbers become repetitive & come off more as vignettes encompassing a theme rather than a story
See it if You'd like to learn a bit about life on The Lower East Side in the early 1900's...
Don't see it if You get bored easily...
See it if you enjoy darkly lighted, slow moving, confusing plots; Band is excellent.
Don't see it if You are easily bored and hate dark stages.

"Credit goes to all the fine actors. The interactions of these characters are what make up the plot, such as it is, but plot isn’t the strength of this production. The narrative structure is dream-like: action swirls in and out of focus, constantly moving, dimly lit except where highlighted...Not exactly a play, this feels more like a staged concert, a theatrical experience...The beautiful songs are sung by the actor/singers who all have lovely voices."

"One is tempted to call it a 'rock opera'...because it is highly impressionistic, consisting of many character songs and expository production numbers, as opposed to active, plot-driving dramatic tunes. But Carbonara’s and Sharp’s gorgeous, melodic songs and the cast’s impressive, 'legit' harmonizing seem the furthest thing from rock...Very few directors have the power or the skill to make me rethink theatre in this way, to fake me out and surprise me and fill me with wonder."
