Great choreography, Felicia finley is amazing, Predictable, Uneven, Repetitive lyrics

See it if you want to see how a show progresses. Compare this to the rewrite it needs. There is very little sense of drama. And not much scrabble.

Don't see it if you want a finished book & lyrics. The music is solid. And the theater has great air conditioning.

Disappointing, Campy, Forgettable, Well-sung, Polite audience chuckles are few and far between

See it if you like "Rock of Ages"-style (but original, not jukebox) music & a story rife with caricatures & cheesy humor that feels forced at times.

Don't see it if you prefer a compelling story with characters that feel real rather than stereotypical & campy. Some catchy & well-performed songs, though.

Banal, Cliched, Insipid, Disappointing, Excruciating

See it if You think stereotypical representations of minority groups is 'diversity'

Don't see it if You would expect a musical about scrabble to have good lyrics.

Clever, Original, Refreshing, Must see

See it if you're looking for a great night out. Cute concept, executed well. Felicia Finley is OUTSTANDING. Would be great for an Off Bway transfer.

Don't see it if you are put off by 70s stories

Great staging, Original, Great singing

See it if you're looking for a fun, light new musical at a great place in its development. The cast is incredibly talented, & the creative team shines

Don't see it if you want a fully realized project. NYMF shows are often still in development, and the audience must be on board with the ride!
