See it if You love very modern, edgy musicals with great choreography, incredible vocal arrangements and captivating storytelling elements.

See it if you liked Hundred Days; very similar structure and semi-autobiographical setup. Engaging storyline and solid vocals.
Don't see it if you cannot embrace the tagline "Everything in this story is true. Even the parts that didn't happen." That murky area is the crux of it.
See it if You enjoy strong folksy female vocalists, if you are comfortable with ups, downs & painful consequences, if you want to consider redemption
Don't see it if You are looking for something feel good or light - this has light / fun moments but ultimately it's a sad family story Read more
See it if you like creative shows with indie infused music. Talanted cast and some interesting staging ideas. Not the Bengsons’ best though.
Don't see it if The story is too long and feels disjointed at times. This negatively affects music and the production as a whole. Abigail is too emotional.
See it if you like the Bengsons, indy music and a fascinating story that is based on reality.
Don't see it if you can't sit through a long show (over 2.5 hours) that becomes repetitive and could use a lot of editing. This play could have been great.

Don't see it if you want a consistent storytelling format, or are looking for something with depth beyond minor personal tragedy. Read more
