Entertaining, Funny, Raunchy, Dated, Quirky

See it if you are looking for a fun show with goofy characters and lots of hijinks.

Don't see it if you don't like the idea of a comedy that's all about sex, or if you're looking for something more contemporary (this is set in the 1930s).

Cliched, Silly, Lighthearted

See it if you love farces and want mindless silly humor with decent acting and enjoy small space theatre with comfortable seats

Don't see it if you hate farces, want theatre with substance and are bothered by shabby low budget staging

Entertaining, Great acting, Funny, Silly (in a good way)

See it if You want something light, fun, and entertaining. The cast and all their characters and quick changes are impressive!

Don't see it if You are picky about your theatre or need epic. This is not 'the best' of anything. It's just a big of fun.

Great acting, Overrated, Banal, Cliched, Entertaining

Fluffy, Raunchy, Funny, Banal, Dated

See it if You are a fan of sex farce and double entendre. Some nice performances but runs a bit too much to cliche. OK, but not as good as you hope.

Don't see it if You hate Benny Hill like comedy and innuendo or are looking for anything other than a mindless romp.

Contrived and silly

See it if I didn't hate it but I can't really find a single reason to recommend--there are much better ways to spend time/money on theater experiences

Don't see it if It's just a lot of silly slapstick with a contrived and lame plot about infidelity and revenge sex

Entertaining, Disappointing, Ambitious

See it if You like slapstick and dirty innuendos.

Don't see it if You are offended by sex themes. They try very hard and because it's so mediocre, it is actually amusing. Feels like community theatre

Fluffy, Silly, Entertaining

See it if a genteel keystone cops. Broad humor, well-acted.

Don't see it if you want better bedroom farce.
