See it if You want to be blown away by an extremely well written script and a very skilled cast. I was so impressed with every detail of this play.
Don't see it if Don’t let the title stop you. The play is so important. The consequences of not knowing & understanding the world around you. Very powerful.
See it if You like a good dose of anachronism in your art. You want to see some great performances. You want to see Spring Awakening meets Der Bunker.
Don't see it if You dislike anachronistic plays. This one is pretty extreme. You don't like scripts that feel a little too much lie a Meisner exercise. Read more
See it if you like new works, enjoy a new shows that mix old and new ideas, time periods, styles, etc, enjoy off-off Broadway Theatre
Don't see it if you don't like off-off Broadway theatre, are easily offended, don't like shows that mix time periods, don't like simple shows. Read more
See it if you are concerned as you see your country embrace evil and the erosion of personal rights and responsibility for a cult of personality
Don't see it if you don't want to be intellectually and emotionally challenged and see the parallels between today and past, overwhelming evil Read more
See it if Good show about hopes, dreams, propaganda and lost lives of pure breed Deutschland girls. They were brainwashed but awakening was scary
Don't see it if Modern music, cell phones and selfie are not what you expect in a play about H*Tyler's testers.
See it if Sometime funny but always dark, about them thinking one way and realize its not the way they think it is, its a big hit in the face
Don't see it if It with cellphone and today music. Subject is very important. This may not be for some people. But we need to see to remember and think.
See it if interested in a dark comedy about complacency, tyranny, compliance in Hitler's time with parallels to our current situation. Very well acted
Don't see it if you don't care for anachronisms. It starts to feel repetitive as it progresses, but overall, worked well.
See it if Use of satire to show how we blindly fall victim to propaganda and support dictators. Makes you think about how history repeats itself.
Don't see it if uncomfortable with dark quirky comedies about the Holocaust. Only 90 minutes but felt slow at times.

"4/5 Stars! Examining fanaticism through a cult of teenage girls is a clever conceit, and...the performers share a moving and believable rapport. Despite Sarah Norris' well-calibrated direction, the play is a tough tonal dance—not every laugh line lands, and the interstitial movement sequences start to feel like filler. But these minor missteps don't undermine the play's power, or its message: For the insecure and disenfranchised, it's easier to swallow dangerous lies than to face the ugly truth."

"Imagine what it must be like knowing that your next meal could be your last. And not in an 'eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow we die' sort of way. This is what life is like for the teenage girls depicted in 'H*tler's Tasters,' a darkly comic play by Michelle Kholos Brooks that opened last night at Theatre Row."

"The tale feels more chillingly relevant today than when it was first staged at the intimate IRT Theater in 2018. The present cultural and political climate is even more ripe and hopefully ready for this cautionary tale. The girls, Liesel (Hallie Griffin), Hilda (Mary Kathryn Kopp), Anna (Kaitlin Paige Longoria), and Margot (Hannah Sturges originated the roles in the IRT production and are back to reprise their roles beautifully under Sarah Norris’ skillful direction, again."
