It Shoulda Been You (NY) Tickets

My friend wanted to see "It Shoulda Been You," but when my husband read a not so good review, I was very skeptical. However, since I was able to find reasonably priced tickets, my friend and I went anyway. Well, much to my surprise, I really enjoyed the show!!! The songs weren't extremely memorable, but the acting, singing and storyline were great, so it made up for it. There were many shows that got great reviews that I didn't like as much as this one. Take a chance and see it before it closes on the 9th of August. You may be pleasantly surprised too.

Why do all the good ones close. Acting superb. Timing amazing. Singing voices fabulous.

The show was very funny and had some surprises in it..

Hilarious, nonstop entertainment! So glad I decided on this show! Fun and uplifting!

Harriet Harris, Tyne Daly, Edward Hibbert and the superb ensemble brought absolute joy to the audience. There isn't an off moment; totally delightful. It's closing all too soon; run to the box office now!

It's the best time you will ever have on Broadway. Every character is wonderful and every line is like a savory morsel.

Overall, this play is very entertaining. It is quick moving and funny, with many clever lines. The songs are good and the words can be understood easily, but no one song stands out as memorable. It is a musical because it includes the songs, but it does not really include any big choreographed dances that a grand musical would include. The entire play takes less than 90 minutes and there is no intermission. All of the actors do their roles very well. We especially like Tyne Daly, Lisa Howard, Anne Nathan but truly, each actor added depth to the show, and there are a few people with wonderful voices! This show is unexpected because it almost seems like an old-fashioned time period -- maybe early 1960s. As it began, we did not even think it had a modern times setting, but you soon realize it does. We liked the almost vintage feel coupled with the modern and important theme. My husband and I would recommend this play. There was never a dull moment; it went quickly, and we laughed out loud more than once. For us, it was not "Beautiful," or "Motown," or "Jersey Boys," which were all five stars to us -- but it is certainly worth seeing and enjoying on its own!

Many humorous moments.... Twist in the plot made me a bit uncomfortable, but I got through it.

Absolutely positively loved this show from beginning to end! Funny entertaining with lessons to be learned to boot! Highly recommend!

Wonderful night of music and laughter. Cast was phenomenal. Evening so enjoyable.

I had a smile on my face from start to finish!!! Everyone should see and enjoy this show!!!

An upbeat, clever comedy with a talented cast, beautiful sets and, despite it's playfulness, important messages about love & humanity. If you don't know much about this show, keep it that way and be prepared for entertaining twists!

I went in with lowered expectations knowing that it would soon close and having heard terrible reviews. I am so glad I did not listen! From the get go I found it to be hilarious, with a wonderful cast, and catchy tunes to boot. I only wish it wasn't closing so soon so I could see it again. I would definitely recommend. And I will be sure to buy the cast album when it is released. Such a great, fun, and enjoyable night at the theater.

The play was to weird with multi complications. not at all funny

I had heard good things on TV and friends about this play but in reality it was much funnier than I thought it would be.

Warm, Witty and Wonderful! Too bad it's closing it deserves a far longer run.

It has something for everyone at any age. It is the COMPLETE PACKAGE!!!

I loved every moment of this show. It was well cast. The lighting, costumes, and set were well designed. It was very entertaining, very funny, and I would go see it again.

Why is this show closing? It was funny and entertaining the whole way through! The orchestra was amazing supporting the cast in an outstanding manner! I had several laugh out loud moments! Go quickly before it closes!

One can readily see why this show is ending so soon and with such a very short run. I had no problem with the acting or the singing, but Sierra Boggess' amazing voice should have been featured way more prominently. The "plot twist" (trying not to include a "spoiler") was unfortunate with our daughter with us, and we actually saw many people walk out at that point. It truly was unnecessary as the ultimate ending could have been the story without the "plot twist" upstaging it. The "plot twist" itself was even taken too far as the second level of it really made it unpalatable. Even our daughter asked, "Why did they have to do that?" Poorly thought out by the writers/director. We learned from a prominent theater employee afterwards that it has been given such a short run due to the fact that the critics don't like it. I can see why. Go see "On the Town" instead which we saw that evening and it was awesome!!! Over all it was maybe a half step up from a high school play, but with the "plot twist" I would have much preferred a high school play!
