See it if Broadway-level operetta with talent to match. #1&2 on this site’s leaderboard recommend it. They are right! See this wonderful show!

Don't see it if Like a good story and clever lyrics. Do not find repeated depictions of drunkenness to be endlessly amusing
See it if the ambitious score beautifully showcases these incredible vocalists; unconventional story telling; theater "in-the square"
Don't see it if music will definitely captivate you; lyrics extremely repetitive (how many times did they say "whiskey"?); it's worth future development.
See it if you like sung-through scores, stentorian singing, and resourceful set and lighting design...or whiskey (the free whiskey shots help)
Don't see it if you expect lyrics to carry cogent dramatic ideas; expect subtlety beyond the level of a feeble fable.
