See it if you enjoy seeing an old musical even w/a dated 1940 book. Some lovely songs, very well-sung. I love Musicals Tonight, but it's not Encores.
Don't see it if you want a lot of polish or a strong plot. LP is just fun...and surprisingly well staged and performed. That Berlin guy sure was talented!
See it if A musical for our time written 70 years ago with music by Irving Berlin. The plot could actually be ripped from today's headlines !
Don't see it if You don't enjoy old style musicals. You can't deal with any more political scandals ! This is a thinly veiled satire on Huey Long of Nawlins
See it if You need a break from the subject matter of new musicals. Also, Berlin was a master, and any chance to catch his work is a must-do.
Don't see it if You don't care about the origins of the musical art form, or need a full-out production to be satisfied. Read more
See it if You can appreciate it thru the lens of what Musicals Tonight is all about - resurrecting little-known or forgotten musicals. Top notch cast.
Don't see it if This is not Irving Berlin's finest, but it's interesting for a glimpse of 1940s politics, tho some jokes & references were too dated to get. Read more
See it if you want to see a "forgotten musical" done really well.
Don't see it if you aren't prepared for a dated, topical show without sets or full orchestra. Or you want to see HAMILTON.
See it if want a really old fashioned musical. It's not Berlin's best, but cast is energetic and everyone can sing. It's an entertaining evening.
Don't see it if want a big production, or deep meaning. Much of the context (Huey Long and Louisiana politics) is lost on a modern audience.
See it if you like rarely produced players by famous playwrights
Don't see it if you don't like a show that has good songs but not a very interesting story.
See it if Delightful; corning and charming

“Although it is not one of Berlin's best shows, it does have a lot of nice songs…The characters are interesting and well played by the talented Musicals! cast. The politically based story is very timely…I just would have preferred if the ending of the show were different, although that is not the fault of the performers but of the author of the show. Overall, the show is enjoyable though. It is another well-done revival by Musicals Tonight!.”
