Tilda Swinton Answers an Ad on Craigslist

See it if You know someone involved w/the production. You want to support a play in the very early stage of development.

Don't see it if You want a concept that can sustain for over an hour:this wears thin after 10 minutes. You don't know anyone w/the production.

Also This felt like an extended inside joke. There were people in the audience who laughed throughout the show. I didn't get it. It's a pass for me.... Read more Read less

See it if you enjoy the hilarity of the main character's personality and know her films and her life. It's necessary to get all the laughs.

Don't see it if you are not interested in the main character or how and imagined "star" interrupts one man's relationships with his partner and parents.

See it if Watch a show and the food is good.

Don't see it if Not the best show. Some of the show was funny but not alot.

See it if you aren't cut off from pop culture, know who Tilda Swinton is and smiled at the title, don’t mind a $20 food/drink minimum.

Don't see it if you want raunch, insult humor, or more controversial subjects. This is a benign show about not letting failed relationships get you down.

Also I had a fun time but my friend who sees a lot of drag was unimpressed. He didn’t think the supporting characters were interesting—each one a victim in their own head with few lines. But I liked that each one was an opportunity for Lenk’s Swinton to dress down their modern day neuroses with movie analogies and Dr. House-like precision. This is all done in the spirit of an extended SNL skit (but a good one that doesn’t outstay its welcome, and with a cast that doesn’t crack up at its own jokes).

This isn’t the sort of show that you go into with no expectations. If Tilda Swinton doesn’t immediately conjure up strong impressions of certain bizarre quirks and certain bizarre roles she’s played, this isn’t your show.... Read more Read less

See it if you want to see Lenk give an incredibly funny performance in a quirky fun play.

Don't see it if Pop culture jokes aren't for you.

See it if You're a fan of Tom Lenk or Tilda Swinton. He's the main draw but you should be familiar with Swinton's work for the jokes to land.

Don't see it if You're expecting a full production as this is mainly a cabaret show. Or if you want to see a fleshed out story.

Also This is pretty much just one joke (isn't Tilda Swinton weird?) done over and over. Tom Lenk is always great to watch though and he was the main draw for me. I wish there were costume changes for him to show off more of his skills creating outfits of stuff he finds at home.... Read more Read less

See it if you're a Tommy Lenk fan; you're amused by Swinton's otherworldly diva-ness & ubiquity (helps to know her oeuvre)

Don't see it if you're expected a fully staged or designed play (seat-of-the-pants tech & portable set on cabaret stage); you find $20 minimum excessive

See it if The audience loved it they were hysterical as I sat quietly Trying to figure out the jokes

Don't see it if You’re not up on current movie genre

See it if you enjoy campy productions or are a fan of Tom Lenk.

Don't see it if you want to see a professional production

Also The bubble wrap coat was lovely.

See it if you’re a fan of Tom Lenk, Tilda Swinton, or camp. Lenk is the real draw. He gives an energetic, mesmerizing performance.

Don't see it if you’re looking for a serious, well thought out piece of theater. This show is pure fun.

Also I really can’t figure out all the negative reviews here. This show is pretty much what I expected from the poster and plot description, a silly, predictable romp. Lenk does a wonderful job portraying a baffling, self-absorbed, but ultimately wise, guardian angel version of Swinton. The audience does seem filled with “industry people,” who laugh loudly at every joke to the extent that it can be distracting. Yet, I have to admit it was a thrill to spot several famous faces in the audience. Not every joke lands, but there are more than a few sidesplitters. Don’t walk in expecting Shakespeare (and why would you?) and you’ll have a great night.... Read more Read less

See it if you are into over-the-top camp and skewering Hollywood. An absolutely brilliant must-see performance by Tom Lenk as Tilda.

Don't see it if you are triggered by talk of suicide, dislike drag, or looking for polished "theater".

See it if You like Tulsa Swinton. You like drag. You're an actor. You. Enjoy campy over the top fun!

Don't see it if You're not into any of the above. $20 minimum at the table.

See it if you might enjoy an occasionally funny concept; though it never seems to really take off. The food at Laurie Beechman is worth the trip!

Don't see it if camp and drag are of no interest; or if you expect a laugh-riot as I did.

See it if You're a fan of Tom Lenk, & wanna have a good laugh. Tom is Brilliant in this show, but the rest of the cast is not at the same level.

Don't see it if Modern & Edgy Farce isn't your thing. It's a fun show, but it's very uneven at times, & the venue wasn't great...Tons of distractions!

See it if you follow @TommyLenk on Insta, love his quirky pop culture & fashionista humor, you are a fan of Charles Busch, camp, divas & drag cabaret

Don't see it if limited run, blink & you will miss it! Cabaret style seating & food/bev minimum. Helps to adore Tilda to catch the references

Also The risotto balls are as FABULOUS as Tom Lenk’s Bubble wrap coat!
