See it if Women Power merged with powerful script & acting. A great play that should be on Broadway! It is not to be missed!
Don't see it if You have issues with women being the center of the plot.
See it if you want the best ensemble appearing off B'way right now acting a very witty script by a new voice in town.
Don't see it if foul language offends you.
See it if Female bonding: three age 30 BFF's in recovery go on a road trip & confront the "contradictions within" themselves. Funny & serious.
Don't see it if You aren't interested in a "chick flick." Lots of raunchy talk & action. Sex, vaginas, pregnancy, babies, mothers, men. Sappy ending.
See it if Girls Trip-ish with 3 struggling millennial women in substance abuse recovery trying to support each other and get their lives together.
Don't see it if Explicit talk of sex, suicide, substance abuse, abusive relationships, esp from women are triggering / too much for you. Creative staging! Read more
See it if To see incredible acting and a touching story about female friendship, this is such a feel good show that also has depth
Don't see it if Honestly it’s such an accessible show, anyone can see it and can relate, if you don’t like buddy comedies I guess?
See it if McMullen's female buddy dramedy about a road trip to another woman's funeral Breezy but substantial w/ impressive acting by 3 leads Neat set
Don't see it if Funny, incisive writing covers host of "woman's issues" yet offers no new insights Knowledge of AA recovery issues/lingo helpful Potent end
See it if you want to support talented up n comer women in every corner of the production.
Don't see it if you treasure innovation or have a delicate sensibility. This is a distaff Hangover w more character revelation.
See it if you enjoy humorous plays with some heavier themes like addiction and suicide, you like bold female characters or stories about friendship.
Don't see it if you don't like plays with much profanity and sexual language. Dialogue often has shock value but plotting is predictable.

"In ‘Georgia Mertching Is Dead,’ a Road Trip Takes Detours: Catya McMullen’s work is a memory play, a friendship play, a delayed coming-of-age drama and briefly a romantic comedy."

4/5 Stars "The play may not break much narrative ground, but it breaks your heart with a piercing exploration of the ways in which loss, trauma and love-romantic, platonic, familial-shape our lives."

"Beneath the charming, if familiar, premise of the production is a sombre core, about loneliness, brokenness, and addiction, but the play doesn’t take the time to mine that fascinating ground, instead opting for a quick, calculable resolution."

"I found myself unmoved, incredulous (to use an au courant word), bored even, and—apart from a few good zingers—unable to find it as amusing as did many others in the audience…It survives more because of infusions from its able cast than from the nutrients in its dramatic bloodstream."
