Don't see it if You want serious theater. If you dont like a play for kids.
See it if you have kids to bring for a simple (mini) theater experience. The story is similiar yet different in a fun and updated holiday version.
Don't see it if you expect big production value. This is more like an introductory theater but its smal venue makes it cozy & more personal esp to the kids.
See it if Bring a child with you. They will enjoy it. The Step Mother character was very funny.
Don't see it if you expect a Broadway style show. Minimal set & costumes.
See it if You’d like to see a modern version of the story. I’ve seeb show with 3 kids and some references were confusing & not child appropriate

See it if you want to support nice actors.
Don't see it if you are looking for an engaging telling of a story.
