Hilarious, Entertaining, Enchanting, Delightful, Clever

See it if You love hilarious dialogue and a grand feel-good stage extravaganza. Glorious costumes, and simple - yet eye-catching set pieces.

Don't see it if If you want a straight play or dramatic piece, this isn’t for you.

Dated, Projections, Uninspired book & choreo, 3 understudies, Home

See it if You have kids-nothing inappropriate/family friendly. “No Bad News” is show stopper here & “Home” is touching

Don't see it if Had high expectations for Beyoncé Single Ladies choreographer but choreo was nothing special. Show feels low energy not helped by weak book Read more

Cliched, Banal

See it if You're an Oz completist. You want to see Wayne Brady in a cameo.

Don't see it if Some of the performers are talented, but this is hot mess. Terrible comic timing all around. Cruise ship style sets. Just meh.
