Member Reviews (70)
See it if you enjoy good music and lyrics. The female lead is great.
Don't see it if you need to care about the characters. The main character is a lout and unsympathetic.
See it if An operetta of womanizing cad interests you & you're ok with a single set/2-hander. The music is good, but the script's weak and wandering.
Don't see it if Not in the mood for a story w little uplift/redemption, get fidgety, can't focus on story that is sung-through, want a traditional musical. Read more
See it if you enjoy alternative musical experiences; excellent singing; small, intimate theaters; lovely music and lyrics; an intelligent plot.
Don't see it if you love Broadway musicals above all else; you hated Fun Home, Dear Evan Hansen, operettas of any kind; dislike small minimalist shows.
See it if You're up for an intense, tightly focused, non-stop 80 minute operetta performance by two terrific singers & gorgeous, textured arrangements
Don't see it if You dislike operetta or have expectations. Jack is a noble & mostly successful experiment that needs tightening & plot clarification. But go Read more
See it if You want to see something different. You want to hear great singing and fantastic music. You want to hear about failed relationships.
Don't see it if You don't like a small production. You don't like live music playing the score to this play. You want to see something upbeat.
See it if An operetta of a self-pitying womanizer, a boring game of cards & booze interests you; you like excellent singers no matter what they sing
Don't see it if if you're bothered by a play that can't make it's mind up what era it's in (1880s costumes, 1920s morality, modern day lyrics) Read more
See it if Good singers performing simple lyrics. Lots of imbibing.
Don't see it if Sometimes raunchy lyrics and copious amounts of alcohol
See it if you like operettas (I do!). The music is grand, the singing is accomplished, and the story is emotionally stirring, if predictable.
Don't see it if You don't like two-hander, sung-through musicals, or a show that focuses more on music than plot. Heavy drinking and cheating upsets you. Read more

"We are with Jack through each and every beat, wincing from the first note. Engrossed. Hypnotized. Playing Jack is none other than Aaron Ramey, who instills the nuances and the charm such a character needs…The direction by Brian Freeland merged excellently with De Gre’s aesthetic…This generates some powerful visuals to accompany the exquisite music…The play is a transitional play from an author reaching a new level of maturity. And as such, some moments are not as strong as others."
