Great staging, Precise & slick, Musical bio, Fantastic lead, cast & ensemble, Beloved music

See it if you enjoy complex musical biographies performed with beauty & integrity. The dancing moves/steps are precision timing.

Don't see it if pop musical bios are not your preferred choice of show.

Epic, Masterful, Dizzying, Great staging, Great singing

See it if This show is like being on Broadway. No expense is spared. The set, costume and choreography are real highlights.

Don't see it if The story isn’t the most ‘thrilling’ - autobiograhical musicals aren’t really my thing anyway… it’s also a contentious subject.
