Great song-writing, Relevant, Cliched, Entertaining, Clever

See it if you'd like to see a very personal, honest, and raw musical about the LGBTQ community in Orlando before & after the Pulse nightclub shooting.

Don't see it if you're uncomfortable with LGBTQ themes & plots, want to see a lush, full Bway production, or are a 2A fanatic.

Quirky, Relevant, Profound, Great singing, Absorbing

See it if Moving & poignant musical about one of deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history which occurred in Orlando, Fl. There were some moving songs.

Don't see it if Some of the script should be tighten up. A wider cast of characters would make this a better musical.

From the heart, H8ters will hate, Universal, Emotional, Great singing

See it if desire personal take on tragedy, 2 showcase regional talent, 4 Off BWY look at what plays regionally, 4 heart on sleeve storytelling

Don't see it if need perfect look at whatever you're seeing, require Broadway standards, need 2 pay lots of $ to validate your ticket purchase

Dated, Cliched, Funny, Relevant, Resonant

See it if The show is light and funny, I had a good time overall.

Don't see it if The book is not clear. The music is predictable except for a few opportunities for some actors to show off their vocal strength. Read more

Heartfelt, Cliched, Well sung, Indulgent, Misguided writing

See it if U want to see a musical about the lives of (mostly) gay Orlando community leading up to the Pulse nightclub mass shooting.Well intentioned..

Don't see it if ..but focusing on the poorly written,conventional, not very convincing lives and not the tragedy until the last 15 minutes was a big mistake Read more

Indulgent, Relevant, Thought-provoking, Slow, Cliched

See it if A heartfelt if banal musical look at a group of friends directly affected by the Pulse nightclub massacre Cast is earnest but uninspiring

Don't see it if Its problem is the main story of a fraught mother/gay son relationship has nothing to do w/Pulse The tragedy is treated as an afterthought

Not what i expected, Disappointing, Cliched, Banal, Indulgent

See it if You like stories rooted in the concept of found family or chosen community; you like shows that elevate LGBTQ+ actors and characters.

Don't see it if You aren't comfortable with a show that advertises reflections & journey through grief post-Pulse only to use it as a plot device. Read more

Confusing, Funny, Great singing, Quirky, Relevant

See it if You want to see a musical that feels authentic in many ways, and uses levity to balance out tragedy.

Don't see it if You dislike depictions of gay culture that feed into stereotypes. Have a low tolerance for shows that have dramaturgical issues. Read more
