Absorbing, Delightful, Clever, Bring it to broadway: great writing and acting

See it if Hilarious play about man hiring actors to replace his dead parents and they take their roles more seeriously than expected.

Don't see it if I cannot think of a reason, other than of you are mourning the recent death of your parents.

Great acting, Poignant, Funny, Unique premise, Clever

See it if you want something unusual. A creative mix of comedy and pathos. A bit absurd but pleasant; held my interest throughout. Some nice twists

Don't see it if you don't want to see a show about a lonely man with dead parents. Read more

Delightful

See it if into a fresh comedy about a make-believe family blowing up. Original, poignant, emotional, a bit meta, at times hilarious...

Don't see it if ... but also fluffy at times. Inoffensive, so don't expect edgy.

Disappointing, Repetitive, Overrated, Slow, Too long

See it if you are patient w/highly repetitive material and don't demand OB quality acting. Strong premise, but goes awry.

Don't see it if you can help it. Proselytizes imptce of believing. Bro says dead dad has weekly talks. We'll all meet in heaven garbage. Disses atheists.

Fun, Ambitious, Entertaining, Delightful, Clever

See it if It’s like existential, Neil Simone, and we all will deal with the loss of a parent one day. This one twisted all around that makes you laugh

Don't see it if you like the same old thing - because this one is original and different but the beautiful set by the way
