If one bad review makes or breaks a theatre, that theatre never had career in the first place.Nick https://www.blogger.com/profile/13280949568861084843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5740282838839188438.post-66325081510466490072010-03-18T17:18:43.329-04:002010-03-18T17:18:43.329-04:00This is a wonderful post, and much appreciated.
...This is a wonderful post, and much appreciated. <br /><br />I'm always boggled by critics who bemoan the lack of originality in the theatre scene today and then, when actually confronted with originality, fail to even engage.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10990981908645173439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5740282838839188438.post-22565837608645313692010-03-17T20:56:12.601-04:002010-03-17T20:56:12.601-04:00I'm always skeptical of single scathing review...I'm always skeptical of single scathing reviews. This Village Voice review aside, the lowest rating on Stage Grade for this show is a B-; this alone is telling, I think --even if majority opinion as far as reviews go isn't the be all end all when it comes down to a show's worth. The use of all caps in the VV review is sadly reminiscent of screaming at people in emails and texts these days. How disturbing. How unproductive. It's like shock jock for theatre reviewing. With mainstream critics disappearing rapidly, this kind of unprofessionalism really undermines the case for specialized mainstream theatre critics.Drama, Dailyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13928465812778703857noreply@blogger.com
