The cast is inspiring, Ambitious, Dizzying, Clever

See it if Plot very difficult to follow given multiple characters with bizarre folk lore story - born with a pig's tail- but sit back and enjoy spirit

Don't see it if Off Broadway with bare essentials, with winding story lines that may lose you, yet different, with an immensely charismatic cast.

Weak plot & characters, Absurdist, Physical, Farcical, Third person narration

See it if Amusement with the grand sweep & folly of life. Sexual antics, births, violence & death for a family’s 7 generations. Fun choreography.

Don't see it if Dancers in lingerie can’t sustain a 2+ hour show without much plot or character depth. Narration of 3rd person text from the book. Shouting.

Dizzying, Disappointing, Banal

See it if You have nothing going on. Staging is entertaining and the cast is good looking.

Don't see it if You have no patience.
