Ambitious, Entertaining, Quirky, Relevant, Great singing

See it if You enjoy topical theater that has a musical bent. Not always spot on, this show does a great job of trying to add relevant songs.

Don't see it if You have to see theater you always agree with. They lampoon EVERYONE, so come with an open mind. The theater smells damp which is unpleasant

Clever, Entertaining, Funny, Intelligent, Relevant

See it if You like sketch comedy, improv, sharp writing, and damn talented performers. The show is constantly changing to comment on current events.

Don't see it if You don't like sketch comedy, improv, sharp writing or damn talented writers. The show is also fairly short at 70 mins. Avoid full price.

Great acting, Original, Overrated, Funny

See it if You like sketch comedies like SNL. A lot of political sketches and impersonations. Great job by the actors and writers.

Don't see it if You don't follow politics or want to see a classic musical. Not as funny as expected.

Relevant, Talented performers, Entertaining, Funny, Uneven

See it if You really need a few laughs this election season other than those provided by the Republican candidate, you enjoy political comedy

Don't see it if You are apolitical or expect a fully developed book as opposed to fun sketches and some excellent performances

Clever, Entertaining, Funny, Quirky, Great acting

See it if You like silly satirical theater, like a collection of SNL sketches, some with musical numbers.

Don't see it if You don’t like small shows with a simple set, are easy offended by jokes, or don’t enjoy caricatures.

Funny, Uneven, Cliched, Entertaining

See it if It's sketch comedy set to music. Not really a musical. But it is funny, well written and current. Good music. Overall enjoyable. Good acting

Don't see it if Some sketches are clearly fillers. Sometimes you LOL sometimes you go "meh".
