Entertaining, Quirky, Thought-provoking, Absurdist, Hilarious

See it if avant-garde, absurdness amuses you. Lots of funny bits. Fuzzy plot line . Multiple explorations of roles: family members, gender, worker etc

Don't see it if you like a clear plot and consistent characters.

Little dated, Liked the music, Slow, Confusing

See it if Like the it touch very little a bbn out the day of the dead. Like the mother makeup, music was good.

Don't see it if The story was ok, but part was outdated, to me. Slow moving.

Confusing, Disappointing, Great acting, Quirky

See it if You like a Mexican based play with actors that put their heart and soul into their performances.

Don't see it if You are looking for a play that is easy to understand as many of the lines are in Spanish.

"It remains an unsteady comedy/fantasy never morphing into a smooth-running play...Richard Caliban directs with an eye on speed which too often clouds whatever good qualities the show has."
