A five-star show, fun for the whole family

This is a fast-paced , high-energy musical in the Gilbert & Sullivan style, with a talented cast of five playing dozens of roles amid rapid-fire, split-second-timing costume and scene changes. It’s the true story of a British intelligence coup which successfully deflected the Nazis during World War Two. Sight gags abound, and clever plot and lyric twists keep the story moving. The lead singers are outstanding and fill the theater with high emotions and one haunting love song. The set and lighting are clever, filled with surprises and expertly executed. Lyrics are challenging to follow because the dialog is so rapid, but the story lines are clear. As usual in Broadway’s historic theaters, seats are expensive and very uncomfortable, and restroom facilities are inconvenient. There are a lot of stairs in the Golden Theater. This is a five-star show! Like most historic Broadway theatres, the Golden is beautiful inside, but saddled with the inconveniences of unmodernized venues, including lots of stairs (no elevators for patrons), cramped seating and inconveniently-located restrooms.

Would have been good without the social lecturing

Having five cast members play roles across genders with simply disconcerting and interfered with the audience's ability to understand who was supposed to be who on the stage of any given time. A real shame, since the music and the show itself could have been quite good. This was kind of a sad attempt to mimic what Hamilton achieved with race, and it just didn't work. Watch the movie instead.

It was just cute

Sat in the last row- it was cute and funny but I was expecting more emotional levels due to the storyline- it was mostly slapstick. I think it would be good for a family with kids to learn about history in a funny way.

Fantastic musical based on a true historical event

This Broadway show comes as close to portraying a real WWII event as well as any musical comedy could. The songs were poignant and appropriate. Funny!

Why Is This Show Popular? About As Funny As 70's Sitcom, Weird Tone Shifts, Just Not That Good

Pretty bad. About as funny as a mediocre sitcom with weird swerves in tone and focus. Surely there are better theater options in NY. Would actively discourage you from going.
