See it if You like and know of the book - willing to be patient and keep an open mind. Love the National style and enjoy musical drama!
Don't see it if You’re not a patient viewer - first act is very busy with a lot of information. Second act is wonderful and much more is made sense!

Overall, this production has a bit of an identity crisis. While it’s refreshing to enjoy and even laugh at such a dismal story, when the play does try to convey gravitas, the moment loses some of its credibility...Rice provides a fresh take on the story that has the potential to entice a few lost readers.
