See it if you’d like to see a truly innovative play that, despite a wildly diffuse plot, holds its pieces together.
Don't see it if you want a play that tells a typically coherent story. Read more
See it if A play about finding your animal self, with consistently memorable staging, lighting, and sound design throughout.
Don't see it if Super twee (take it or leave it), not a huge amount of dramatic movement or tension. Eliza Bent was great as the Roman Centurion son!
See it if you love experimental, language-based or fantastical plays, you like female-driven narrative, you like ensemble theatre and live music
Don't see it if you want something that grapples seriously with some of what it poses Read more
See it if You have a big appetite for flat-affect genderqueer absurdism. If pretty costumes/cleve staging can overcome a deadly deadpan script
Don't see it if You have no tolerance for one-note absurdist comedy and cliched Jewish parents shtick
See it if you're looking for a few laughs.
Don't see it if you're expecting an ambitious play. Read more

"Somewhere in 'Leap,' there is a wilder play, an angrier exploration of choice and defeat and desire, particularly of the female variety, but this one stops short of anything too troubling. Ms. Porter’s script can skew precious...Tara Ahmadinejad can’t keep these 90 minutes from dragging, or stretch the laughs — there are plenty — into something more substantial. And there is substance here."
