Great writing, Great acting, Intelligent, Original, Resonant

See it if you like to see stories that are rarely told on a Broadway stage.

Don't see it if you don't like war stories (although this is not a typical war story).

Disappointing, Intense, Thought-provoking

See it if you can deal with the atrocities of what women go through in war.

Don't see it if you expect more from a Broadway show. I must say I was extremely disappointed with the staging. It was very off-broadway.

Ambitious, Great acting, Great writing, Intelligent, Thought-provoking

See it if great ensemble cast of a strong new play led by Lupita Nyongo. Great new female playwright.

Don't see it if It's a little over-long and doesn't quite make a last impression

Clever, Intense, Thought-provoking

See it if you like strong women.

Don't see it if you get easily bored. I was lost with all the accent as to who was who (characters). And was a bit lost in the story.

Great acting, Thought-provoking, Slow, Relevant

See it if you want to see Lupita Nyongo be brilliant, and you want to spend some time thinking about parts of the world we should think about more.

Don't see it if you have a tendency to be bored by relatively slow-paced dramas or have difficulty understanding strong accents.

Ambitious, Great acting, Intense, Thought-provoking, Original

Don't see it if You have trouble with accents. I think I missed a good portion of the dialogue.
