Don't see it if You want a traditional show; you want a clear/easy-to-follow storyline; gay bars/vogueing/pop culture aren't your thing

Night club, Loud, Delightful, Great singing, Absorbing

See it if Imagine Here Lies Love meets Hedwig meets a warehouse rave. It's loud and brash (and has some sound issues) but this was an exciting,

Don't see it if innovative night of theatre. I'd recommend going with friends unless you're comfortable being that solo guy hanging out at the club alone.
