See it if Like musicals, in small venues, which are a little bit different. 6 versions of the same day, with a surprise ending.
Don't see it if You don’t like musicals, or, only like big flashy musicals.
See it if A good concept of telling a story from multiple angles
Don't see it if Music unmemorable. It went on a bit too long, should have been 100 mins no interval. Each section was too long, needed a lot of work
See it if you want to see a new musical that is touching and funny in places and that is conceptually unique if overly long winded.
Don't see it if you want to see a finished product that doesn’t drag itself haphazardly out over 2.5 hours, or music that is anything more than pleasant. Read more

"As a soap operatic character-driven piece with some rather lovely observations about urban life and the pretensions people adopt around fine wine, it works pretty well; as a musical it comes across as a bit corked."

"Ryall’s writing is very funny at times, and a great deal of care has been taken to adapt each thread of the story to suit the character. It’s an engaging concept, but the plotting gets quite muddled along the way and a serious turn of events toward the end of the second act alters the tone of the piece."

"The musical's structure, for all its innovation, never allows more than a sliver of personality to emerge. The scenes are not long enough for character to develop properly and too much time is spent going over the same ground."
