Clever, Entertaining, Great acting, Great singing, Great staging

See it if You like politically based humor presented by an awesome multi talented cast with creative direction.

Don't see it if You prefer shows with a more of a story line. This is more like SNL sketch comedy.

Terrific singers, Great acting, Fast-paced, Witty, Funny and moving

See it if you like political satire (eased by being Reagan-era, not Trump-era) smoothly delivered by five top actors in musical revue-skit format.

Don't see it if you don't like watching people sing, dance (a little), and impersonate recognizable (as types) political and media personalities. Read more

Delightful, Entertaining, Great singing, Great acting, Funny

See it if you like SNL format/comic skits - watching a musical version live, up close & almost personal. The opening comic act by guest is addl treat.

Don't see it if you don't like political jokes, some dated themes, & a non conventional theater venue but the great talented cast is worth checking it out !

Quirky, Funny, Great acting

See it if You remember the 80's arms race and want to laugh about it. Or just to see incredibly talented comedic performers in dark & fun musical.

Don't see it if you dislike skits packed with goofy comedy (literally,) and comedic song and dance. Too young to remember the Reagan years or nukes.

Absorbing, Funny, Great singing, Hilarious, Resonant

See it if Broadway performers perform throwback songs to a simpler time when "only" problems were nuclear war and Russians.

Don't see it if You're looking for deep meaning.
