See it if For a big musical production
Don't see it if You want a musical with songs you can hum
See it if You love great singing and a crazy story
Don't see it if you love Disney
See it if just don't
Don't see it if you have any sense
See it if You like shows that are pushing boundaries and completely bonkers.
Don't see it if You don’t like twists on traditional stories
See it if you enjoy seeing new musicals without preconceived judgment.
Don't see it if you want to see something with a coherent plot and memorable music.
See it if you like quirky score and gorgeous musical textures
Don't see it if you don't like slow plots and a bizarre narrative retelling
See it if You enjoy magic and musicals.
Don't see it if You're not expecting children to be there.
See it if You would like a quality show. Music, singing, dancing, book, staging ....all are at high standard.
