More Than All the World

See it if Absolutely beautiful staging and lights, tremendous costumes, some Broadway caliber talent in the cast, and VERY relevant in today's world

Don't see it if There were some kinks with the sound system, and the first act could enjoy a few cuts, but I'm not docking points, because this show rocks!

Also I attended the opening yesterday, which was the same day as Hilary's concession speech. It was a somber day, and I went to theatre (specifically to see something downtown and edgy) to remind myself that there is a community out there who will rise up.

And boy was I right. The director made a house speech declaring that the show would be performed in defiance of bigotry, and it really truly was. In times like this, the world needs art that isn't afraid to be bold, and this piece is bold, centered on LGBT issues, and is a historical epic focused on persecution and the right to love. I am telling my friends to see this one while it lasts (very short run) and I am going to see it again before it closes. It had a huge impact on me and, and I'd love to see more art and theatre like this blossom out of what just happened with our nation.... Read more Read less

Don't see it if You can't make it this week. It closes this weekend.

See it if You like rock musicals. It's based on the life of Edward the second and tells his story with clarity and theatricality. Big band big cast.

Don't see it if Gay love offends you. This couldn't have been done any more tastefully. You could take your Mother and neither of you would be offended.

Also Three of us attended this show and all 3 left really impressed by all aspects of this well polished show. The 2 hours and 50 minutes flew by. Don't let the length dissuade you form seeing one of the best off off shows I've ever seen.... Read more Read less

See it if you wanna experience something new and unexpected.

Don't see it if you prefer quiet musicals.

See it if You want to see an amazing performance with an amazing cast. Great rock score meets Shakespere, meets Game of Thrones.

Don't see it if You are homophobic, don't like rock or are a "Broadway" snob. If you are the person who is fashionably late, you will sit the steps.

Also Very disappointed to read that a reviewer wrote to go see this show if you want " a gay sexual show". Honestly, some people need more of an education, exposure to more cultural events and they need to get out more often. What this show was - was a masterful production put on by professional actors who ALL did a marvelous job. It wasn't a "gay sexual show" but rather actors who needed to convey emotions and feelings on stage. Yes, there were sensual moments and kissing between two men on stage. Did they manage to convey what the story called for, A passion between two men? YES! And THAT is what is called acting. This is also part of history we are taught. We are entitled to our own opinions in shows, but please let's keep our opinions solely about the show and NOT personal biases. (And Hugh Hysell, you got "stank eye" down to a science! Lol)... Read more Read less

See it if You like well produced Off Broadway musicals with good music and good acting.

Don't see it if You don't like rock music musicals. You are looking for more elaborate staging.

See it if you want au courant, lens into 14th century Edward 2 court translated into glam rock storytelling with eye popping spectacle & prod. values

Don't see it if you don't like intelligible rock music, you're offended by sexual situations, or leather, feathers, & spandex give you the vapours

Also More Than All the World does not disappoint in its construction or presentation. It may have a limited niche audience but should be able to make it to the next level from its current production.... Read more Read less

See it if you like a glam-rock take on medieval British history, gay relationship drama in historical context; great performances, costumes, singing.

See it if you enjoy well-done rock musicals. Great cast and direction.

Don't see it if you're offended by a gay-themed show.

Don't see it if You have a short attention span, prefer kitchen sink drama, your favorite downtown shows feature costumes from the Gap and rehearsal cubes

Also This show is a bolt of lightning from edgy, old-school New York––it draws incredibly timely insights from the shadow of the past, and features several of those ecstatic moments of perfection that can only exist in live musical theater, where time itself seems to stop...

(I'm not sure I've ever seen a show this ambitious stick its landing so perfectly––it's like I Claudius, The Iliad, Game of Thrones, or Lawrence of Arabia in scope.)... Read more Read less

See it if Great singing! Fabulous SEXY costumes! Moving and compelling stories! Music that is beautifully composed and perfectly played! Real History!

Don't see it if You would be a real goof to miss it, so just go see it!

Also Erik is amazing. I am a history nerd, and I absolutely adore the way he has told a mostly forgotten story that is so incredibly relevant today. The cast is a joy to watch, and the music is so beautiful. If Grace has an album, I need to get it. I could listen to her all day. And this show is genuinely SEXY. It is, in my opinion, sexy costuming, staging, and performing done perfectly. My wife and I were enthralled. We have talked about this show every day since we saw it. As an actor, I would LOVE to work with such material. I wish I was more eloquent! I am going to stop now and see if I can get tix to see it again!... Read more Read less
