Great singing, Great acting, Ambitious, Clever, Absorbing

See it if The new intense Medea seamlessly mixes excerpts from opera with classical theater. Brava2multi-talented Eilin O'Dea,who leads a grt cast on*

Don't see it if *a minimal low-budget stage in a tiny E Village venue.There r a few steps 2climb 2 reach the restroom;not suitable x ppl with moblty issues.

Ambitious, Cliched, Great acting, Intense, Absorbing

See it if you want a great rendition of a Greek tragedy with great actors.

Don't see it if you want a happy ending or a large musical performance.

Overrated, Great singing, Entertaining, Enchanting, Delightful

See it if Good job by the cast. Set simple as are costumes. Nicely directed.

Don't see it if Operatic may not be for everyone. Tiny stage.

Ambitious, Quirky, Intense, Great acting, Great singing

See it if you would enjoy a different production of this Greek classic with great operatic voices and a diverse cast. Simple costumes fit well.

Don't see it if you want a fun production or do not like low budget presentations. Singers are accompanied by solo pianist.

Disappointing, Ambitious, Resonant, Thought-provoking, Banal

See it if An opening operatic entr'acte (Cherubini's Medea) & dynamic opening scenes w/the impressive male leads; an anticipation starts building...

Don't see it if Yet its short-lived.... O'Dea's Medea is locally uninteresting (strident) & emotionally one note (rage) Maybe... if she hadn't directed...
