| I’m an older, straight white guy and I really enjoyed the show. There is some language used that may bother the more prudish. There is a simulated sex scene, which is appropriate to the moment and is quite heartbreaking-it’s not done for shock value. While the character is specific, many of his issues are universal-someone trying to find his way, despite the voices in his head holding him back, struggling with your home and family vs where you want or need to go…I found it quite moving, and funny. Is it a show for the ages? Probably not-but it’s well worth seeing and certainly deserving of the Tony. | |

| I don't think one has to be a prude to not want to hear vulgar language. I am gay man, not a prude, but I don't enjoy vulgar language in the entertainment I chose to consume. It's just not my taste. In the same way that I don't enjoy tv shows/movies that are violent. |

| There is some language used that may bother the more prudish. Oh, there's a good deal of it lol - even including the "C-word." But I think that's also part of the show's honestly and directness, which, for me, is an incredibly positive thing. (That is to say, the language is there because it's real; it's not there in a gratuitous way.) And as you said, it's also incredibly funny and moving at the same time. |
