Almost-funny, Too many plotlines, Ambitious, Way too long

See it if You want to support new plays. The bones of a fun story are somewhere in there.

Don't see it if you want a tight, coherent story. Too many plotlines that come out of nowhere. Over long. I thought it ended, but now, one more scene to go. Read more

Book didn't deliver, Premise had potential, Resonant / humorous / sweet, Ambitious / bit slow

See it if you want to support shows/co's @ Theater for New City. Cute show, w/a few funny performances. Saturday matinee was packed, lots of chuckles.

Don't see it if you can't sit through slow 100min show w/no intermission. Wanted SO much to like it more, but playwright doesn't deliver on premise promise. Read more
