Ambitious, Disappointing, Fluffy, Great Singing, Slow

See it if You want to hear some great singing of songs that sound like they came from a bad Vegas lounge act. Above average sets and costumes help.

Don't see it if You value your time. I thought it would be a cute distraction from the news and I found myself thinking about everything but this fluff. Read more

Clever, Enchanting, Entertaining, Great Singing, Intelligent

See it if Well staged show with mostly good songs performed by good, talented ensemble cast. Loosely based on a Bible story.

Don't see it if Way too long- needs a 15-minute edit. If you do not like a musical based on a Bible theme, skip this one.

Goliath Nimble Cast But Weak Material

See it if Unusually giant but good cast for an older styled musical about David's life that tries to be funny but feels extraneous and egocentric.

Don't see it if Makes David seem like an idiot but not in a funny enough way, most songs don't move the story/feelings along, many people fell asleep/left. Read more
