Absorbing, Enchanting, Great Singing, Intelligent, Refreshing

See it if Tuneful, clever songs, delivered expertly by 3 wonderful women and a tap dancing guy. We all should be more familiar with Grant

Absorbing, Banal, Disappointing, Great Singing, Slow

See it if It's a labor of love production that never quite rises above the banal Excellent singers give their all to the slight but informative book

Don't see it if Despite the loving projections (esp family photos), the DIY quality of the piece hurts it Also, Grant's post-success life is short changed

Absorbing, Great Singing, Quirky, Slow, Thought-Provoking

See it if An interesting prospective of the legendary Micki Grant who helped to change the Broadway narrative and who was allowed to enter.

Don't see it if While historical in nature, the writing of this musical needs work regarding the greatness & vision of Nicki Grant.

Delightful, Entertaining, Great Singing, Intelligent, Riveting

See it if you would enjoy a review of Micki Grant's life and work through her poetry and music with some tap dancing and many great projections.

Don't see it if you expect a full biography. While the four actors wore mics, the male's voice was always louder. No program or bios of the actors.
