Decent Play, Poor Production, Disappointing

See it if like me, you grew up in the New York area in the 70s & always wondered what was up with that commercial with the woman slurping spaghetti.

Don't see it if 1. you have high expectations. This ain't no Broadway production. The acting definitely ain't so hot. 2. You are homophobic. Read more

Ambitious, Dated, Entertaining, Great Acting, Thought-Provoking

See it if You're interested in how cult 70s hit holds up in 2018, if you're intrigued dark comedy/family drama with sad truth to it.

Don't see it if You're easily offended by stereotypes or dark humor fueled by touchy subject matter. Read more

Dated, Disappointing, Entertaining, Great Acting, Quirky

See it if you want to see a fun show dealing with homosexuality and family dynamics with fun character work.

Don't see it if you're looking for well written, realistic, story-telling.

Clever, Entertaining, Funny

See it if A good recreation of a long running Broadway play on a small economical staging. Some good acting.

Don't see it if Not constant energy. Actors at times seemed to lose pace.

"The play is endearingly dated...Innaurato’s piece was written before the dawn of the hyper-sensitivity that would make us feel guilty about laughing at the play’s 'politically incorrect' one-liners about ethnicity, class, weight, sexuality, and more. As a result, theater attendees in 2018 will probably find this THIS 'Gemini' more funny than audiences did 41 years ago...The entire cast of 'Gemini' is wonderful."

“I enjoyed this production. Though, at times, the show seemed to have a rather low energy. There are many moments in the play where the action is simply the actors standing around and talking to each other, which is not a problem in itself, though it seemed that a few times the actors were waiting for the next exciting thing to happen...When the play was allowed to land, it was a joy to watch, particularly, the moments between Francis and his father."
