 Uh so, should you go? If you like the old-timey music of the Avett Brothers, then HELL YEAH! Don't like music-based theatre? You'll want to skip it. This one's not ALL music, but the show wouldn't really exist without the songs that propel the story along, and you need to be able to parse the lyrics on the fly to follow the story. If you don't care about the music, but you like live theatre, well, uh, yup, you'll probably like this one: I haven't really seen anything like it before (novelty is a good thing, right?). I wouldn't be surprised if this ends up on Broadway in the near future. Uh so, should you go? If you like the old-timey music of the Avett Brothers, then HELL YEAH! Don't like music-based theatre?

Does he give things away? A little bit. But if you know the story of the Mignonette (the true story that the Avett Brothers used as the basis for their album of the same name, now somewhat adapted into this show), there's not much to hide. Want to read about *that*? [Try this article from 2017!](https://wrvu.org/mignonette-the-story-behind-the-name-of-that-album-some-guys-made/).
