About the Show

A play about the spiritual, the sexual, and the self.

The Gett is a tale of the filthy and the faithful, based on everything from the Torah to bad sex. It’s a play about the menorah in your building lobby behind the Christmas tree and the flame whose phone number you can’t forget and that voicemail from your mom you haven't played just yet. As sacred as it is profane, this is a play about a woman recreating Herself.

Confusing, Uneven, Entertaining

See it if Mostly entertaining and cute. Enjoyable.

Don't see it if The problem is that the main character crosses the line between quirky and very unlikable. What does a woman get from a Gett? A divorce. Read more

Uneven

See it if I enjoyed parts of this show. Jennifer Westfieldt is a joy to watch. Her parts were my favorite! Wish she had more scenes.

Don't see it if The lead is somewhat unlikable, so halfway through I began to lose interest. Feel like it can improve, it needs more comedic moments.

Dizzying, Quirky, Great writing, Intelligent, Delightful

See it if You want to see something fresh, new and original. Touching, smart, funny, clever, interesting, really great acting.

Don't see it if You don’t like quirky shows without a direct plot line. At times you may not know where you’re headed or where you’ve been. It works. Read more

Disjointed, Superficial, Quirky, Uneven, Clever

See it if you'd like the romantic adventures of a quirky yg woman that's well directed. Not a lot of deep content, but it's entertaining.

Don't see it if you want to fully understand how the relationship grew/withered. Bare bones given. And the scenes are arbitrary just spots of time. Read more

Come for the rom com, Stay for the religious ride, Sex and the city, jewish edition

See it if engaging story of young JewIsh woman's/Ida's attempt 2 find love; hilarious mother-daughter battles; wonderful Jennifer Westfeldt

Don't see it if many parts are obscure/script doesn't enlighten; play called "The Gett"/Jewish divorce, should focus more on how/why marriage failed Read more

Waste of my time, Trite, Disconnected, Banal, Confusing

See it if You don’t mind sitting through a play that is impossible to make any sense of !

Don't see it if You have anything at all you could possibly be doing for 2 plus hours ! You only enjoy a well made play that makes sense ! Read more

Funny, Great staging, Intelligent, Quirky, Absorbing

See it if You enjoy jewish humor and/or plays partially (but not totally) about the jewish experience.

Don't see it if You dislike non-linear plays. Read more

Uneven, Entertaining

See it if into a 4-hander, the humorous adventures of the playwright/performer - love, sex, mom, and everything Jewish. Quite a few jokes work.

Don't see it if well... I am not sure this is the best platform for this talented writer. Read more

Critic Reviews (1)

" 'The Gett' falls short of the Stoppardian sweep perhaps initially envisioned, while proving a bit of a dud on the romcom front."
