Red Roses, Green Gold (NY)

Wonderful... great seats.... we had sooo much fun.... first row we were able to song along , dance, and participate

Grateful show with an awesome twist on some good old GRATEFUL DEAD Americana music grateful cast extremely talented musicians.

Engaging plot utilizing Dead music, actors who play numerous instruments, dance & sing, and finale that rocked the house. If you love this music, go and enjoy the show.

First, I was so impressed that all 8 members could play so many different instrument at the same time as they were moving around, singing and acting out a story. Of course I loved the music which is what brought me there. In addition the set design was so interesting that i was constantly seeing something new to focus on. The story was light but enjoyable which is fine b because it was the overall experience that really was awesome. Second, the cast just seemed so happy and enjoying themselves doing their thing. It was clearly not work for them but a chance to have fun and entertain others. Also the one weirdo actor ( :)) ) with the Afro was having fun engaging the audience members which made it feel inclusive. Bottom line it is a great night of entertainment. Thanks

We enjoyed this play so much. From the talented actors who sang, danced, acted; the soundtrack music, costumes, staging. Really, really good. You don t have to be a Dead fan to enjoy it.

Campy fun. Not a must see, but if you are in the neighborhood it s worth attending

It was an amazing group of talent on one stage. The music was incredible as was the musicality of the cast. We loved it! Being able to congratulate Jeff in person also a huge highlight!

I have loved the Grateful Dead forever. I disliked this show so much. Although the cast clearly has talent - it felt like the show was something you could have seen in Disney. It is hard to believe that anyone associated with the Band was onboard with this production. Disappointment is an understatement.

Great show, great cast, overall a blast. Thread of songs fit the story perfectly

Being a Deadhead for over 40 yrs and not knowing what to expect with this musical, i came out of the theatre BLOWN AWAY!!!.. EXCELLENT MUSIC, GREAT PLAY and Good Actors. If you want to enjoy a Night out and enjoy the music of the Grateful Dead, this is a MUST SEE PLAY. The story line fit perfectly with songs from the Dead, the play will only be here till December so go see it.. I cant wait to see it again and take my kids.. You will have a GRATEFUL TIME seeing this play.. GO SEE IT>

What a great time! Admittedly, I am a Dead fan from way back, so of course I'm going to love the music. But I also brought my 87 year old mother along, and yeah, she's pretty cool, but she loved it even more than I did! The actors are so talented, sing so well, and have so much energy. We walked out of the theater feeling so happy!

Great little theatre, not a bad seat. Show was adorable and purely entertaining . Makes for a great night in the West Village

Fun show. Great music. Fantastic, multi-talented cast.

The music was good and well performed, the story was very thin.

Great show. Cast is very talent. Even if you are not familiar with Grateful Dead music & songs you will adore this show. Dancing & singing along is encouraged. Could be the next Hamilton . Storyline makes sense too.

I am a Deadhead, and although I enjoyed the music and was intrigued by the concept of stringing together the songs with a story that took place in the Cumberland Mine, the dialogue was terrible. I wished there was a lot less talking and a lot more music. The performers were talented musicians but not actors.

take the family! take a date. go alone. just go! no way you can lose. grate show.

Entertaining story, amazingly talented cast and the music is a story all own it s own. Red Roses and Green Gold is a two thumbs up!

Good music and lots of fun! Anyone that is a GD fan or not should see this play. Some beautiful renditions are not to be missed.✌

This is something like a terrific concert with a play going on during it. The performances are absolutely stunning with eight very talented people playing multiple instruments while singing and even dancing. Don't miss this, especially if you are a fan of Grateful Dead music.

I enjoyed this show, as will most Deadheads. My hope is that Theatre fans who have no real exposure to Hunter/Garcia will enjoy it as well. The talent that this team brings is amazing, keep an eye on these folks. Thank you Jeff Chimenti and crew for a wonderful experience. Break legs.

This show incorporates some of the best loved songs of the Grateful Dead with an off kilter story about a family of poker playing swindlers who run a saloon in 1920's Cumberland. The best moments come when the emotional maturity of the story matches that of the song and lyric, or when the buoyancy of a song matches the silliness of the story or the action and enthusiasm of the actors/dances/singers. The segment using Brokedown Palace as an example of the former works very well, as does the rollicking Bertha. The story line isn't developed enough to get the audience really invested in the characters, which I think is a problem and needs some further development. Some of the songs seem to just be thrown into the show because they're known to be loved by Dead Heads and great songs, but don't fit into the too slim story line of the show. Touch of Grey at the end, while good fun, is completely superfluous, and more effort should go into putting more emotional detail into the plot. The stage set is a beautiful wood saloon which reminded me of the set of Once The Musical, and the cast is a talented mostly young group who sing dance and play instruments. All in all this is a very enjoyable show. An extra star given for Dead Heads. For the casual listener to Grateful Dead music, this show puts the lovely songs into a unique context that makes them maybe more approachable than might be the case in a concert setting.

amazing multi-talented cast - amazing production of great music !

Did not know what to expect.. Turns out to be a high school quality written show of a story centered around the lyrics and images of Cumberland Blues...It has basic covers of partial songs and a story line that has nothing to do with the Dead, their roots, existence, or Jerry. For me a high note ( pun intended) was that each actor is very musically talented, playing several instruments...I thought the play would be a more personal look at perhaps some key moments in the Dead's history turned into a theatrical explanation/exploration/enlightenment...It really has nothing to do with the Dead at all except for the partial renditions of some songs...So for $88 for a decent seat I'd say if you can swing it, sure go check it out. Otherwise don't get anxiety over missing it, like you would,if you couldn't get off work and had to pass on a ticket to see the band "In the Day" at Red Rocks on the night of an eclipse...

As a lifetime fan of the Grateful Dead, this show was an absolutely magical experience. Most of the cast is probably too young to have ever seen Jerry Garcia in concert, but they do an amazing job bringing the songs to life and creating a fun, singalong worthy experience for everyone. Not only can this cast sing and dance and act, each member also plays no fewer than four instruments throughout the show, further proving how talented they are. It is a beautiful performance that will make you laugh, cry, sing, dance and be absolutely blown away. I hope it travels. I hope they make an album.

Music was very well performed. Good selections. Ripple was my only knock - it should be performed by the band not a solo. The story is awful/stupid and the acting and dancing was embarrassingly bad - unless you like constant shoving and jumping in lieu of a coherent dialogue. The southern accents sounded like something a 10 year old would sound like if you ask them to do an imitation. Further you couldn't hear half of what the actors said as they were poorly miked (maybe this was a good thing)

As a Deadhead I feared the worst but hoped very much for the best. My fears were realized. Cartoonish, horribly over acted, and aside from very nice versions of Ripple and Box of Rain the music had absolutely no heart or connection to the actors. The music of the Grateful Dead deserves better, and so do you. Save your money and put on any live or studio recording of the Dead and you'll have a far better time.

Nice show, good music, story line was funny overall well done performance.

A truly enjoyable evening. It was just so upbeat and fun. Sang and danced. The vocals were fabulous.

The play was so much fun. It was nice the way they were able to put the songs to a story line. They have on both sides of the theater stand up and boogie seating. The last two songs the entire audience was dancing. The actors and actresses were amazing the voices were everything you would see in a Broadway Play. I would recommend going and bring a bunch of friends. Perfect location too!!!

Show was so entertaining and fun. Cast did a great job! Music was perfect and a treat for Deadheads! We loved it!!!

My fellow Deadhead and I went to the show. We enjoyed the storyline and use of Grateful Dead tunes. We were able to jump out of our seats and dance! The cast was enthusiastic and the theater was small enough to fell cozy.

A fun night listening to some of the greatest songs ever written and performed by a talented, versatile, musical cast. There were different takes of the Hunter/Garcia canon. We were up and dancing by the end.

An extremely talented group of actors/actress's who did a wonderful performance using some traditional Grateful Dead Music and Lyrics to create a interesting story. It was great to see that many of the performers played multiple instruments The stage and the props were really nice and the energy behind it all was tremendous. GREAT JOB!

The show was a lot of fun. I was not sure what to expect but liked it all. The music was great and most of all the talent was great. I like seeing artists that have the ability to play multiple instruments.

Such a fantastic show! I got my husband tickets for his birthday. He is a Grateful Dead fan and he loved it! I enjoyed it very much and I am not usually into that music style. Theatre was nice. Highly recommend to all!

This show was terrific! Excellent integration of Garcia/Hunter songs into story.

What a fun play with great music of the Grateful Dead. The performers are so talented, they all play all instruments very well, singing was very good and the guy on fiddle was the best! I had a great time and so will you. Go check this out. Small theater & a great set.

Fun & touching story line. Talented actors/musicians. Great arrangements.

The show needs a lot of Help! Terrible, ashes to ashes

Loved how they took the Dead songs and worked them into a show!!

What a great show - a must see - way off Broadway but worth the trip. The cast was super talented for sure better than Broadway talent. The fun of the show along with the great talent of the cast and crew makes it a must see!! Already have tickets to take others along for a show!!

Deadheads and lovers of all genres of music will find this high energy music filled show to be fantastic! If you know the Grateful Dead songs, it is even better, but not necessary. Don't miss this show!!!

Fantastically done How they blended Grateful Dead Classics with a love story Enegenic and fun Won t be able to sit in your seats Dancing in the aisle

This play is so much fun. Light on story, but who cares. The cast will be among the best performers you will experience. Beautiful voices and amazing skills on a number of instruments. We went on the first snowy day in the city and the theater was not packed, which was such a shame because the performers deserve a full house. The price is right, the music is jamming, and the fun is contagious!

For a Dead Head, it is an excellent presentation of the music we all loved for years. The plot is a little hinkie, but some of the music is a total change from traditional presentation. For me, the show stopper was the female duet of Brokedown Palace, accompanied by cello and acoustic guitar!! If you are looking for loud heavy metal, avoid. If you love the 30s, 40s and 50s music that inspired (and was covered by) the Dead, this is a don't miss show.

Bottom line, the Gig is that the folks who put together the show, and the folks who performed it, are BEYOND talented!!!... They took material that was already established, and ELEVATED it and enmeshed it into a cookie-cutter classic narrative that ELEVATED that as well.... So well done. Why are there so many empty seats???!!!???...

A fun show where the audience sings along and everyone has a great time. Cast was great.

While the story line could have been a little more developed the cast blew the doors off the place with their performances. Their take on the classic Dead songs was nothing less then amazing, actually bringing a tear to the eyes every now and then.

The story itself was truly sub par, BUT the music, acting, and choreography were all great! If you are a Grateful Dead fan, do it!

Attended the show on Saturday, December 2nd, 2017. The theater was a small and intimate setting which added to the shows ambiance. The actor/ musicians were delightful, energetic, and talented. The storyline was simple but interesting in how they glued together Grateful Dead songs to tell a tale. It was a fun time with sing alongs, toe tapping, and dancing.

This was an amazing show with very talented actors. I would recommend anyone going not just deadheads. The music moves your soul along with the storyline. Thank you for an enjoyable day.

While the story around the songs was a little loose their renditions of the Dead songs brought a tear to my eyes several times. The cast is amazingly talented and they did a fabulous job. I loved it!!

The plot was funny and well written, the acting was excellent, and the music was stellar. Great intimate theater. I highly recommend this to Deadheads and everyone else who appreciates great musicals. The cast played various musical instruments, and did so very well.

the show was a fun time. my wife didn't remember any Dead songs until they started to play and she knew every song they sang. the story was fun to follow and the music fit in. All the actors did a great job playing the instruments. I would see it again

Cast was fabulous music amazing storyline ehhh but truly memorable with daughter back from college

We left at intermission. I am a x-pro dancer/actor and have seen hundreds of shows. I have never walked out of a show before because I always find something to enjoy. The show itself was one of the most boring shows I have ever seen. Not to insult the talent but it was so overacted. I am not sure if that is because of bad directing or some of the cast were that bad. The musicians were very good and if they had just stuck to playing music it would have been so much better. I would give the music 4stars and the acting/play 1 star. Also we had first row seats which are suppose to be the best seats in the house. The stage was 5 feet above my head so we had to look way up to see, looking up actors noses. They should never put anyone in the first 5 rows.

This show is so much fun! GD music set to a story with singing and dancing encouraged. Can t go wrong!

Great comcept and If you are a dead head you really enjoyed it because you love the music. I thought the sets were great! If you were there for a show with character development, depth of plot etc.. you would be disappointed. While I think it could be done very well with a bit more script development. I think the actors broad talents were fantastic, although again the actual acting was a bit lacking, while musical talents were great.

Great tunes, great musicians, great arrangements... highly recommend.... I would see it again...

This off Broadway play somehow managed to use grateful dead lyrics and music and come together with a storyline into the play. The musicians and singers were very very good but the storyline was god awful. They somehow managed to take Grateful Dead songs and lyrics and make a play out of it but the writing was absolutely terrible. The cast was very talented , good singers and good musicians but kind of a waste of talent. Definitely a good time and had some entertainment value .

ii don't know what they were thinking. why would fans of grateful dead music relate to a corny show about hillbillies? the story was totally lame, and the acting was horrible to the point that I couldn't even enjoy the music. This may be the first show i ever walked out of. Save yourself the $$ and just listen to one of your bootleg Dead tapes instead.

Mostly pleasing renditions of Dead s more melodic catalogue-but the story is beyond silly and hard to watch

I had no idea what to expect from this show, but it was really different and fantastic. I loved every minute of it! The story was perfectly entwined to represent some of the greatest music of my time. The actors and actresses were so talented and full of energy to make the music come alive. Highly recommend and would love to go back!

Absolutely fantastic! Amazing talent! Great story! Incredible music! Blessed to have been there from CA!

Red Roses, Green Gold boasts an excellent cast and crew and unique storyline around the basis of Robert Hunter's lyrics and The Grateful Dead's music! The stage was filled with talented singers and multi-instrumentalists that told a story, created extravaganzas and coaxed us all into a singalong for the entire show. If you love the Grateful Dead, you will love this!

IIf you want a fun little show in a fun little theater, this is for you. Great tunes, great cast, intimate setting.

A highbred a Broadway show in us and grateful dead songs is a strange idea to begin with and into it poorly written story about a 1920s coal mine and I was looking at my watch it was missing the whole spirit of the Grateful Dead or dead show. I got the idea that the singers in the band never heard of the grateful dead before they audition for the show

I love going to the theatre. It s a place I can escape the world and be enveloped in a story and enjoy. RRGG is one of those. Taking the words and music of Robert Hunter and Jerry Garcia and intertwining them to create the background to the story of a con man in the 20 s seemed to fit like a glove! The performers are phenomenal, each richly talented in both acting and music. I danced for most of the show because it made me feel good!!! This is a MUST SEE for Dead Heads and pure entertainment for those who aren t familiar. DONT DRINK THE KOOL AID!!! LOL!!!

The cast was extremely talented and the play was fun. The music was... amazing. Wonderful arrangements of such well-known songs. This was a very entertaining night.

The show was very good. The music was awesome. I personally think that if you do not know the Dead or any of there music you won't appreciate the show as much. We thought it was Rockin and they (the cast) were awesome in covering all the tunes. Thank you to the writer and everyone behind this show to for bringing something to the theater that will make everyone just SMILE! SMILE! SMILE!

Though the girls could sing well, the guys couldn t. Ruined good Dead tunes. Story was terrible.

This was not good. Singing Grateful Dead songs for no reason, not in any context to what the story was about. Left at intermission. 'Nuf said.

If you love the music of The Grateful Dead... you will thoroughly enjoy this show!

Best time...great show, fun & heartfelt...a gift to deadheads of all ages & stages!

There are a couple of amazing acoustic song versions that are sung beautifully! It was fun to hear old Grateful Songs performed live again. The acting and play plot are weak but it was used to not make show a musical revue so it s ok
