See it if ever lived in NY or ever had a apartment. Can relate to the struggle to live in the city.

Don't see it if If a home owner and dont care about tenants. But probably not for you if you hate one man shows.

Entertaining, Relevant, Exciting, Quirky, Uproarious adventure

See it if you want to see skilled comedic character actor in action. While rambunctious a show, it's still at its core a touching coming of age story.

Don't see it if youre irritated by obnoxious audience members who distract others in the audience and detract from the performance.

Absorbing, Delightful, Entertaining, Great acting, Original

See it if You enjoy very well-acted solo shows, schadenfreude, real-life anecdotes and seeing microcosms of New York society analysed in detail.

Don't see it if You want a big flashy musical, or if you prefer serious, issue-based theatre.
