Sign in the Six O'clock Sky

See it if you like when a script tries to say new things in new ways.

Don't see it if you want a drawing room comedy or kitchen sink drama: this play is eccentric.

Also I attended this show because I liked this troupe’s recent accounting of a rarely performed tragedy of Racine. Am I glad I did! “Sign in the Six O’Clock Sky” is far from Racine! But it’s one of the most intriguing productions I’ve seen all season. The almost absurdist script strands a small troupe of sideshow performers from 1933 on an island, inexplicably. Their individual stories are slowly revealed amid their song-&-dance rehearsals, even after they are joined by a CEO from 2019, stranded as inexplicably with them. This motley group often fail but occasionally succeed at mutual understanding. These characters actually change. Late in the game a soldier from the Normandy invasion enters for a wrenching cameo & disappears almost as quickly. But the final snatches of song from the remaining characters manage to achieve a kind of well-earned grace.... Read more Read less

See it if Carny performers time shift from 1933 anachronistically contemplating the existential. "We're two baloney slices away from the bread lines."

Don't see it if Heady: "Like Kafka, I look to find the 'yes' buried under the 'no." To complicate the Now, a Wall Streeter and a Normandy soldier combine.

Also "Where can I plug in my phone?"The man responsible for the "Funny Girl" sequel is responsible for this. (2hrs.)... Read more Read less

See it if Some good acting. Has some good things the plot.

Don't see it if It does not focus on any one thing and as a result is all over the place. If you do not like depressing songs. Needs to be reworked and refo

See it if You like Gilligan’s Island, Waiting for Godot and the Twilight Zone. And you like to imagine what a world might looks like without

Don't see it if You want to see a superficial play and could care less about the human condition.

Also technology. It is the cat’s meow!

See it if Beautiful thoughtful moving show.we cried at the end

Don't see it if You don't like thought provoking plays

See it if you're intrigued by performance art that's surreal, thought-provoking, open to interpretation, and incredibly moving.

Don't see it if you're into things that are more mainstream and straight-forward. It's also much too deep for small children.

Also What an incredibly clever and thought-provoking show this is. As you're watching, you're constantly drawing your own conclusions as to what it all might possibly mean and making connections between certain elements -- and truthfully, this is one of those shows you probably need to see multiple times before you're able to catch them all. It's also comical at times, and yet very moving as well -- particularly the second act. The production itself is also outstanding. The set design and the lighting are surreal, the costumes look great, and the acting is unbelievable. At this point, there's only one weekend left -- if you're even mildly curious, check it out.... Read more Read less

See it if I loved this play! It is a beautiful mix of music, humor and charm. It’s a metaphor of what life means today and never knowing what

Don't see it if it might bring tomorrow. Highly Recommend

See it if I've never seen anything like it. It is surreal but deeply moving. It has original songs that are both catchy and metaphysical. Haunting

Don't see it if if you only like literal things, I guess, but one learns a lot from the show. Very literate

See it if I stumbled upon it by accident, but it really moved me. It has original songs that I keep on humming, so I saw it again a week later. Lovely

Don't see it if it's a bit like a Becket play in the beginning. Like Waiting for Godot, so not for those who want something fast paced and contemporary
