Review by: JW, Jan 20, 2013 |
| It's amazing to me how many people walk out of shows, considering the price of tickets these days. I'm not referring to this show specifically, since this show is not a conventional musical. Maybe it's best to do a little research before buying tickets to any show. |

I Got Scammed! Review by: disappointed, Jan 16, 2013 |
| Don't waste your money like I did! They had one of their guys pushing this at the ticket booth. I asked if it was clean enough to take my 10 year old, and he said yes. What a lie. It wasn't funny at all, and was very inappropriate. We walked out after 20 minutes and couldn't get a discount. Don't get scammed! Watch ANYTHING else. |

WELL DONE ! Review by: MAGS, Jul 31, 2012 |
| Just saw this on Sunday, 7/29 .... the 90 minute performance of all four actors (in addition to the 'piano player') was 'over the top'; the production of each vignette was well played out and well done; was amazed how the latest 'current events' was an update to the script --- hats off to the script writers; we all loved this performance; highly recommend to anyone!!! |

This is like a high-school drama class production Review by: Jacob, Apr 2, 2012 |
| Are these reviews for real? Seriously. This had to be the most ghetto show I have seen in ages. The actors/cast are good, but it's just cheesy and like a 1 dollar budget musical version of SNLs weekend update with some skits. Save your money. You can spend the same money on a solid show like Look Up by Fuerza Bruta, or a cheap seat for a major show. The set is stationary (essentially) and it's just overall cheap looking.... read more. I got a bit bored half-way through it, .. it becomes tiresome. It's just amateurish. |

Innapropriate for kids - They won't warn you about the F-Bombs Review by: NYC, Mar 18, 2012 |
DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY. Even at $40 a ticket, it is not worth it. Stay home and watch SNL and get the same take away.
Some parts were clever and the acting was well done. But unless you live in the USA and have paid close attention to American current events over the past 25 years, much of it will not make any sense.
Highly innapropriate for kids. I specifically asked if the show was suitable for a 12 year old and was told yes. In ... read more fact it is not....the F-Bombs were the icing on the cake. |

Review by: MH75, Mar 9, 2012 |
| When I travel to New York or London, I leave one night free, for what I like to think of as Mystry Show Night. I .. randomly pick something . On this trip it was NEWSical that was randomly selected. I did not know much about NEWSical before I got to the theatre. Reading the blurp, it sounded like a new approach to Forbidden Broadway, using the recent major news events instead of muscials as its content. Reading the bios and ... read more seeing the association with Forbidden Broadway in some of the cast, I was comfortable with my random selection. The four members of the cast are extremely talented, and there ability to transition through so many characters is excellent Content wise, it was a good selection of recent major events, and would be good to see how it changes in 6 months. It was a shift 90 minutes, and it just flew |

Good Show Review by: Jim-NJ, Feb 3, 2012 |
| Newsical: End of the World is an entertaining show. It has the energy one used to see from Mark Russell. The performers are excellent and there is enough variety for everyone. |

Don't go Review by: Sean.Parks, Nov 21, 2011 |
| People posing as TKTS employees told me it was a must see. It quite the opposite. The Actors worked very hard to turn an unfunny show into something worth seeing but ultimately, it was not. It is far away and a bit pretentious. |

Newsical Review by: Tzl, Oct 29, 2011 |
We had a free Saturday afternoon and decided to see Newsical based on the
reviews. This show has run its course. We kept waiting for that "wow" moment
that never came. The material is not current or funny. We were disappointed. At least
our tickets were half price. |

Great Little Show Review by: Carol, Mar 11, 2011 |
| If you like topical humor based on politics, you'll love this. The cast is terrific, and the costume changes really apropos. It's a great night of theatre for a thinking audience member. We saw this on one of the nights Spiderman was canceled. It was DEFINITELY a better show, and we left the theatre flying! |
