Great writing, Great singing, Dated, Great acting, Enchanting

See it if you love intimate productions, you are not resistant to sentimentality, you like age old stories,

Don't see it if you want a big Broadway amplified production, you are claustrophobic, you are cynical about romance Read more

Delightful, Dated, Confusing, Great singing

See it if You already like the show and want to see an energetic cast give it their all.

Don't see it if You are bothered by being extremely up close to the actors, you are in the mood for a relevant show.

Delightful, Quirky, Great singing

See it if you want to see a show that ran for a long long time in NYC. I saw it more than 40 years ago & had to see it again. Singing was great!

Don't see it if you want a full orchestra/broadway experience. Very tiny theater with folding chairs. MInimal set.

Delightful, Great singing, Entertaining

See it if It is such an enjoyable evening to see this classic Musical. Actors are working hard and you get to sing along the famous song at the end.

Don't see it if You don’t like the intimate theatre of maybe 20 audiences, and felt like watching the Performance in private living room.

Clever, Entertaining, Delightful

See it if you have never seen this entertaining classic

Don't see it if Your pleasure at the fine production will be marred by the awful plastic seats which are crammed next to each other

Great acting, Great singing, Slow, Ambitious

See it if Always a good project. Good singing and acting even if low energy during Act 1. Act 2 came to life energy wise.

Don't see it if You don't like small spaces. About 24 seats total...smaller than a cabaret room and ambitious for a musical.
