Raunchy, Funny, Entertaining, Dizzying

See it if you are a fan of Commedia dell'arte, physical theatre, crude humor and seeing actors improv on the fly. Great ensemble theatre!

Don't see it if raunchy humor isn't your thing, you don't like basic plots and stock characters and a lot of gags that don't always land.

Funny, Dizzying, Hit or miss, raunchy, exhausting

See it if you're interested in seeing commedia dell'arte (with modern topical references). The basis for One Man, Two Guvnors.

Don't see it if you don't like bawdy, crude and sometimes just silly humor. One Man, Two Guvnors did it much better.

Great staging, Indulgent, Quirky

See it if you want to see a play with lots of added pop culture and current news added.

Don't see it if comedies that allow actors to add in current day references (including political topics). The original source material is funny enough as is

Clever

See it if you are interested in commedia dell'arte.

Funny, Dizzying, Quirky, Slap stick

See it if you enjoy physical, broad comedy. Topical references fun but a bit repetitive. Much better than NY Times review would have you believe.

Don't see it if you don't like commedia dell'arte or prefer more serious theater.
