See it if Musicals are your thing and you've reached the age when you're resigned to the fact that your dreams will fade but life is still worthwhile.

Don't see it if clever song writing about the world of musicals and growing older has no appeal for you. I'm over 65 and I loved this show!

See it if you like musicals about overcoming grief/loss

Don't see it if you want-a polished production-an elaborate set design

See it if you like the old story of the composer/lyricist team who keep trying for a hit and never quite get there; have a best friend;like kitsch

Don't see it if you expect a surprise ending;expect perfect singing and elegant lyrics; do not give small time playwrights/composers/lyricists a chance

Don't see it if You have high expectations in terms of acting, singing, production values, etc.

See it if You enjoy a story about male friendship and you don't mind some mediocre singing of nice songs, and some mixed levels of performances.

Don't see it if You are expecting highly professional singing and acting.

See it if You enjoy pale imitations of Sondheimesque life crises about two-dimensional characters who don't sing very well.

Don't see it if For the same price you can see a good movie.

See it if You can appreciate actors who put their best foot forward. You want to support your local community.

Don't see it if You are looking for a cast that has effortless chemistry.

See it if you want to experience well-meaning, affordable community theatre with a receptive audience?

Don't see it if you love music—you'll rarely discern melody in the mostly-spoken songs and vocal delivery painful; Kyle Hughes is the notable exception!
