Let There Be Stuff

See it if You enjoy seeing hypocrisy exposed. You like South Park. You like good tunes and clever lyrics sung by a talented cast.

Don't see it if You have a stick up your butt.

See it if You like honesty, espically when exposes hypocrisy. You like progressive, new theater. You are open to personal interpretation of religion.

Don't see it if You are sensitive to raunchy language or want to see a classic musical. You are not interested in different interpretations of Christianity.

Also I find it interesting that many of the negative reviews site "blasphemy" as a reason not to see this show.... Read more Read less

See it if you don't mind profanity or making fun of religion

Don't see it if you have a problem with making fun of religion, profanity, are too uptight

See it if If you want to see a raunchy and somewhat funny musical about the book of genesis.

Don't see it if If you're easily offended.

See it if you have seen everything else, and want something different. I liked parts, but some parts were just not needed. I appreciated the attempt.

Don't see it if you are religious, or offended easily. I am neither, but sometimes they tried too hard. I love South Park and Avenue Q, this was not close.

Also jokes got repetitive and over used. They were going for shock factor and I understand that but after hearing them curse every other word, it kind of just came more annoying then funny. A few of the songs and acts were really good, while others weren't. Felt like a high school musical, but I enjoy those also. The show with lots of tweeks can be fun, but will need someone to really sit down and fix the issues.
The Score of 69 was just the appropriate score for this show.. I think it was the only thing the show was missing!... Read more Read less

See it if You'd enjoy a raunchy and irreverent musical (performed by a likable talented cast) skewer the Book of Genesis in a profanity laced show.

Don't see it if You are offended by profanity (there is lots here) and/or very raunchy satire of God and religion. You dislike "South Park" type humor.

Also God is an angry and vengeful psychopath in this very raunchy and irreverent--and at the same time fairly literal (wherein lies its cleverness) send-up of the Book of Genesis. Writer/director Jay Winston Gill leads the cast as a profanity-spewing , cane-thumping Supreme Being who is disgusted by his ultimate creation of humanity and dispenses his wrath freely throughout this somewhat-funny and very-off-color musical with a fun and enjoyable score and a number of well-performed songs by this likable and talented cast. But while sometimes funny (e.g. the running Jesus Christ reference), its humor is a bit too obvious and not witty enough to support the constant profanity and raunch. In other words, if you're expecting "Book of Mormon", Life of Brian" or "South Park" quality, "Stuff" falls short. But it's clever, the score is enjoyable and the cast very talented. If you love a good laugh at the expense of God or organized religion, you might enjoy this.... Read more Read less

See it if You want to see a play about a person who says he is god and tells the story of creation with profanity and blasphemy. You have an open mind

Don't see it if You will be offended by the many ill references of creation and how mankind came to be.

Also There was some very good singing in this performance. I am not an overly religious person but I do believe in creation and I know many of the stories in the bible so as I am listening I said "Lord please do not strike us down while we are watching this play" LOL. I take everything with a grain of salt and I know that this is just a play so I tried not to get offended because this was someone expressing their creativity.... Read more Read less

See it if Want to learn how man was made in God's image and the results are not pretty. All bad human acts start with Genesis

Don't see it if Do Not want to be bombarded by incessant profanity that takes away instead of adding to the story You think the Bible contains only good

Also It is an interesting view of the stories in the Bible but not presented here in the best way. Music too loud for the theater. The loudness drowns out the singing.
I ignored the first 4 100 reviews. Seemed very suspicious that 3 of them were from 1st time reviewers who wrote only a review for this show. FAKE NEWS! They have since been removed... Read more Read less

See it if You're not adverse to poking fun at the Bible.

Don't see it if You don't like excessive, unnecessary profanity or a promising concept poorly executed.

Also On the plus side there was no obligatory rap number!

See it if you want some great singing, raw talent in an East Village production in an otherwise insufferable amateur production with an improv feel

Don't see it if you want a mostly hackneyed perspective on the Bible and find gratuitous swearing clever and edgy. Waste of great acting and singing talent

See it if you know someone in it.

Don't see it if You want to see a show worth your time. I didn't like it I was disappointed because it was compared to Hand to God and Book of Mormons,not

See it if You really hate religion and the ridiculousness of the bible. But even then...it's hard to think of a reason to see this.

Don't see it if You want to see something new. You are easily offended by profanity.

Also I'll be honest, I love when things make fun of the ridiculousness of religion, but this was just bad. A few of the cast members were pretty good and the band played well, but otherwise it was just dumb. Not a very original take on the subject and while I don't mind profanity in the slightest, it was jarring because it felt like they were trying to squeeze in as many curses as possible. Like a kid who just learned about curse words. I don't like to put down people that try to create something, but this really is not good.... Read more Read less

See it if you absolutely must or just simply curious as to why the reviews are bad.

Don't see it if you are easily offended by profanity, vulgarity, if you're religious or if you can help it.

See it if you have friends or loved ones in the show

Don't see it if you don't.

Also There were a few genuinely funny moments. The play got off to a promising start with Adam and Eve bickering over an apple proffered by an actor dressed as the Tree of Knowledge with a serpent hand puppet (Satan!) that talked like Alec Baldwin imitating Donald Trump. Unfortunately, it was all downhill from there. Sweet, appealing cast, especially Taylor Garron, who plays both Eve and Hagar, and who really has a set of pipes on her. Unfortunately, realizing that Ms. Garron is the best thing in the show, the author/actor-playing-God, gave Hagar an interminable lament that was basically John Denver's "Take Me Home, Country Roads." The theme of the play - that the Old Testament God behaves in deranged ways & seems to have it in for humanity, and that Old Testament humanity, in its turn, is hardly worth saving - is not original enough to belabor for a solid and stolid two hours. Also - an exceptionally bad title.... Read more Read less

See it if you like inane unprofessional theater

Don't see it if if you expect something good.

See it if you have absolutely nothing else to do or if you know one of the actors.

Don't see it if you expect to be entertained, find the "f" word offensive, are offended by heresy.

See it if you want to see potential unrealized.

Don't see it if you can think of anything else to do

See it if you hate religion and good theater

Don't see it if you have Netflix or cable, or access to a public library or the outdoors, because these are all ways your time would be better spent

Also I hate to criticize the work of folks who have clearly spent a lot of time and effort putting something together, but this show is awful. And vulgar to boot. I gave up on it after the song whose refrain was "F--- you" with choreography of raised middle fingers pointed at Noah, at the conclusion of which Noah exclaimed "Eat a d---!"... Read more Read less

See it if Sorry, just sorry. I'm sure they're nice people, but strictly minor league book, lyrics, and performances. Not ready for off-off-Bdwy

Don't see it if You don't want to see the high school play on your big night out in NYC.

See it if I'm honestly struggling to think of a reason to see this. Maybe if you have a friend in the cast and a very convincing poker face.

Don't see it if you enjoy theater. This show is just plain bad. Honestly, the only positive thing I can say is that the actors were off book.

See it if You like a sort of disrespectful blasfemy.

Don't see it if You can't handle pure blasfemy, much brutal than the one in "The Book of Mormon".

Also I decided to see this show because I read reviews saying that if you like The Book of Mormon you should see this musical. Well, I love The Book of Mormon and its intelligent, well-thought and really funny blasfemy, and I always laugh when I listen to its songs. On the contrary, this musical is just brutal, not clever and kinda offensive blasfemy.
And do not trust those reviewers who score it 100 - they did dare compare this show to The Book of Mormon, and this is blasfemy.... Read more Read less

See it if you want your rage at false moral superiority channeled into laughs with the skewering of fake piety

Don't see it if you think you are morally superior, or you are convinced that you know religion, & God.

See it if you must purge religious rage with some sick,twisted,hilarious heresy! This blaspheming show is infinitely ruder than 'Mormon' & more honest

Don't see it if you can't accept that the Bible can be absurd, and you are offended by "The Aristocrats","South Park" and any humor that is far from subtle.

Also Most of the haters out there are complaining about the vulgarity and the "attack" on religion. These are the same troglodytes that have no idea that these stories are accurate to the Bible (minus the f-bombs...maybe?). Hypocrisy rears its ugly head again. I've seen it twice, first in the Outer Boroughs, and now in the hot spot of the East Village, and I like it in this new venue. 1 point that would improve the experience would be to adjust the volume.... Read more Read less

See it if you like Book of Mormon or other irreverent plays and musicals with Excellent singing and intimate staging

Don't see it if Are easily offended or a member of the religious right

See it if you'd enjoy 1 of the more honest Biblical shows. Subject is accurate to Genesis & also totally vulgar (God has a warped sense of humor).

Don't see it if you are offended by non-PC laughs & raunchy lyrics; in other words, you've no ability to unclench those "cheeks". Everyone else-take a shot.

Also This is a show for a special type of audience. Many people will be thrown by the extreme language and made uncomfortable by Bible stories that become all to real. Many others will enjoy the show for those exact same reasons. It is jumping into the deep end of the religious pool.... Read more Read less
