Time It Is: To Music

See it if You enjoy new work.

Don't see it if You want to care about the characters, you like good singing (instead of wailing), you want a coherent plot. Absolutely endless.

See it if you want to take a nap while watching amateur theater. Lots of mumbling in a relationship that doesn't make sense. Confusing chorus, too.

Don't see it if I can't think of a reason to see it unless you want to support the cast.

See it if You like musicals that are a little different in a small theatre. Good performances from the main cast and interesting musically.

Don't see it if You are easily offended by language or people's choice of sexuality.

See it if You want music, singing, acting

See it if You like supporting actors and play writes trying to do something different and interesting

Don't see it if Screeching singing or redundant stereotypical characters bother you.

Don't see it if can avoid it.

See it if Great performers, very good music, interesting play; however, the play needs a good editing – it is too long.

Don't see it if If you cannot see plays that last 3 hours.

See it if You want to hear the brilliant music of an up-and-coming composer. The music is worth the ticket price alone.

Don't see it if A script that desperately needs cuts and fine-tuning is a dealbreaker for you.

See it if The music is fresh, new, and stunning. Melodies are complicated and beautiful while lyrics are clever and poignant.

Don't see it if If you need a lot of plot, this isn't for you. Mostly character-focused.

See it if you're craving something new at the theater and want to see the stars of tomorrow.

Don't see it if you have a short attention span or are prudish.

Also Not all musicals have to follow the same plot. This one deals with intimate parts of its characters lives and struggles, and these moments are musicalized with extraordinary variety by the composer. The book is poetic, if long, and several characters are quite entertaining. The lead couple give star turns, especially for a piece of this complexity. Ensemble is tight, if a bit underutilized. If the team can figure out how to trim the dialogue down, I could see this piece moving to a larger venue.... Read more Read less

See it if you enjoy music as much as I do and enjoy amazing new musicals with all kinds of music, not just cookie cutter, telling a well staged story

Don't see it if you are not a fan of all kinds of music telling a strong story, if you are not a fan of great singing and strong cast and ensemble work.

Also This cast was amazing. the story was difficult to tell since some of the dialogue was long and out dated and the show ran long, but they did an amazing job and the time flew by for me.... Read more Read less

See it if you enjoy something different, appreciate creativity, and support theater.

Don't see it if you can't sit through 3 hours and get confused easily.

Also The play has too many story lines and branches off in odd directions at wrong intervals which ruins the flow of the main story. The acting and music have great potential if the dialogue was shortened and the songs were not as long. If the script was concise the story would be more concrete and I think the audience would have an easier time following.

My takeaway from the story was what changes relationships - could be the people, could be the situation, and would the outcome still have happened if things ended up differently for the main characters.... Read more Read less
