See it if brilliant masterpiece
Don't see it if you don't like relevancs
See it if You hate yourself
Don't see it if You know the show in any form from any period or any other production Read more
See it if you want to see an impressive young cast
Don't see it if you prefer shows without depth
See it if You like good scores. The music was interesting as was the tackling of difficult topics of mental health and abording
Don't see it if It was quite intense and at some point a little cringe to watch teenagers being of their age.
See it if you love musicals led by a wonderfully talented ensemble of young performances
Don't see it if you're sexually repressed... (or maybe you should)
See it if Fantastic reimagining of the show- staging unique, performances nuanced. This removed problematic elements from original which is great.
Don't see it if Quite topical- not a kid friendly musical or one for those who aren’t open minded.
