Don't see it if It’s a LONG show so if you don’t think you’ll vibe with a complex storyline with lots of characters then maybe give it a miss
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!
