Absorbing, Clever, Delightful

See it if Thought provoking delight.see it if you arent familiar with the disco error.

Don't see it if May seem corny and cliched. A mind stretch nonetheless

Dated, Cliched, Funny, Quirky

See it if If you want to see people on skates act and verse out drama. Also later on adult drama as well interspersed with disco.

Don't see it if You do not like cliche 70s parodies. You prefer cleaner language.

Disco music always entertaining, Meandering non-plot, Sandstorm included, Roller skate choreo = always entertaining, Memory inducing

See it if U long for days of disco & roller skates, want 2 B consumed with millenial ennui, want 2 C versatile Tony Jenkins, U R recent college grad

Don't see it if no use 4 millennial angst, allergic to sandstorms, hate licking up blood, want a tame version of what could be very funny

Entertaining, Great acting

See it if You like disco and plays with time jumps but no clear answers that are maybe about the end of the world but maybe not.

Don't see it if You need clear answers (there are none here), a linear storyline, or hate disco.

Good music, Confusing, Quirky, Touching

See it if You're into roller skating and disco music - Tony Jenkins & the disco divas were great. The storyline had potential but just didn't make it.

Don't see it if You're looking for Starlight Express. This had some interesting moments, but too much whining.

Quirky, Banal, Entertaining, Confusing direction, Roller skating!

See it if You want to see a fun little show with roller skating! Funky music and I enjoyed some of the quirky writing, funny actors!

Don't see it if Don’t expect to see enormous depth but it’s fun, actors give a very low stakes performance so it’s hard to get behind the characters

Confusing, Quirky, Slow, Banal, Disappointing

See it if You know the cast members or creative team or just really like seeing original work, good or bad.

Don't see it if You can't (or don't want to) walk up and down three flights of stairs; you are expecting a plot or any sort of cohesive narrative.

Slow / disappointing / needs work / huge potential, Flashbacks (not linear) / decent set / weak 'ography, Intense but humorous / very nostalgic / resonant, Clever ambitious concept / quirky / campy fun

See it if you're open to a slight morality-themed romp, great funky disco music (before during & after), & campy roller-skating, re: the apocalypse.

Don't see it if you prefer epic musicals & are expecting to see another version of 'Starlight Express' or 'Xanadu' (both also slight morality-themed romps). Read more
