    Because nothing is perfect...(but it's close!)

    This play is the a powerful anecdote to the powers, both positive and negative, of the constitution. If we really care about our women, we'll listen to them. Part is the beauty of this play is being able to disagree and being able to express why. For some this will be preaching to the choir and for others this will test your boundaries of belief. Dive in and start a discussion (not a build a bunker around your own idea)

    Ah, live theater.

    It has been about a year since I got to watch live theater, which is WAY too long. This movie actually captures the experience pretty darn well - the voices, the audience, the energy. Schreck's show somehow takes us all on a journey through her adolescence, our nation's history, and this difficult current moment all at once. it is not a perfect film, or even really a film at all. But it is a pretty darn good play, especially if you have kids who love Hamilton and are ready for the next conversation.

    Sooooo Good!

    The importance of this film/play, cannot be overstated. Described as predictable by another rater, until change is realised fundamentally, this material needs to presented over and over and over again.

    A must watch

    An excellent and poignant show documenting our positive and negative evolution in ensuring all Americans are treated equal under our constitution. From a deeply personal point of view, you're drawn in and kept on the edge of your seat, crying and laughing along while learning (verifiably correct) history about our constitution. The reviews on here are absolutely nuts and only validates schrek's point that we have so much more to go in protecting the rights of the most vulnerable. Ignore the Karen's and Kevin's in the reviews and WATCH THIS.

    I'd Rather Read an Article About it Than Watch This

    It pains me to write this review, and I don't know what I expected. The content and stories told in this play are heart-wrenching, but the way it's shown and the decision to film this as a live taping with audience chiming in really made me stop halfway. I'd rather read an article about the ordeals that the protagonist faced (and I'll probably like them too), but watching this as a 1 hr 45 min drama is a chore, more so with audience laughing in between which gives the feeling that laugh track in a sitcom gives. Hamilton as a movie made sense, but not this monologue.
