Quirky, Must see, Great staging, Edgy, Entertaining

See it if It achieved a cult-like following and was a surprising hit. A friend encouraged me to attend the show and I went back multiple times.

Don't see it if It's an edgy show with adult subject matter so not for young kids.

Relevant, Refreshing, Energized, Original, Great score

See it if You like contemporary approaches to musical theatre. Refreshingly relevant update of a work from 1891. Great score, disappointing 2nd act.

Don't see it if You're not mature enough to handle sexual scenes involving teens, you don't like contemporary musicals.

Masterful, Profound, Intense, Elegiac, Beautiful

See it if I saw the original, and this revival was better. The casting choices made the show work in a deeper and more meaningful way. Piercing.

Don't see it if ...you are Darth Vader.
