Refreshing, Great acting, Dated, Entertaining, Delightful

See it if You like the kitchen sink style of storytelling. You want a mix of comedy & drama. You want an charmingly retro play that entertains.

Don't see it if You only want to see the movie cast. You don't like one- set plays where you hear about events. You want a more contemporary story.

Intelligent, Great writing, Great staging, Great acting, Entertaining

See it if You enjoy realistic drama/comedy about the lives of small town women. You have seen the movie and loved it. You’re willing to go to Brooklyn

Don't see it if You are looking for a fancy production. This is as down home as it gets ! You prefer shows with lots of physical action.
