It's the awards themselves that need the resurrecting.

Broadway Flash said: "I don’t understand all the hate for back to the future. Yes, it’s pedestrian. But it’s a lot of fun, wonderful big musical numbers and effects. And Roger Bart, Hugh Coles, and Casey Likes rock."

There is no category for Best Lots of Fun

Markie27 said: "Even though Cabaretgot a lot of nominations it’s very telling that they didn’t like the show as a whole - amidst all the nominations for its design and an embarrassment of riches in its performers, the couldn’t bring themselves to nominate the director. It’s like their making a statement - with all the talent of your cast and crew you not to mention a magnum opus of a score, you still managed to eff it all up by giving us this mess of a show.

By the broadest definition of jukebox musical, I guess. But I'd call it an album-length narrative dance show. "

If it wins Best Musical y'all gonna whine about it for decades like with Contact : Illinoise wasn't even a musical, bwaaaaah

Reviewers in the past few months are really out to get, meow!

The Scarlet Pimpernel and its 897 versions.

"

London Tide is the laziest thing I've ever seen.

PipingHotPiccolo said: "blaxx said: "This is as bad as it gets."

huh? these seem very mixed to positive and with tons of readily quotable lines to plaster all over manhattan. compared to what they had to say about lempicka, these are solid reviews."

For a show and score of this calibre, yes, these are dreadful. 

Also, the only mixed-to-positive thing about this joke of a revival is that it's just passing through.

Call_me_jorge said: "Interesting stuff! When an equity tour leaves the US to play mexico or when the pippin tour (I think it was the pippin tour) went to Japan the performers just didn’t have their union protection? Or would those be exceptions?"

They definitely have protection. The Beetlejuice and Mean Girls US tours are playing in Mexico City this summer.

This is as bad as it gets.

How many more decades to wait until we get a decent revival of this   :(

TotallyEffed said: "Because that is where Broadway shows go to die."



Exactly, what did Broadway do to deserve those awful shows?

Jordan Catalano said: "OMG if you think the boards reactions to THIS show are mean, you haven’t been on here long enough lol

"

Exactly. I remember The Little Mermaid, Godspell revival, Good Vibrations,etc  now that was a massacre.

Heck, compared to Espinosa's BKLYN these are rave reviews.

Poor Jessica Vosk can't catch a break.

Rebecca Frecknall is an amazing directory choreographer.

macbeth said: "Looking at some of the reviews of The Notebook made me wonder if like the movie was considered a 'chick-flick' (maybe an outdated term?) that it also might have been better received by female critics.

Who is writing these days that I should be following?"

This also implies that females could overlook the show's many flaws because of their gender. A bit insulting.

lopside said: "I guess the out of town reviews really do no give much of a hint of howsonething will received once it lands

"

We've known that for decades.

Mediocre reviews for a mediocre show.

jacobsnchz14 said: "Would love to know if anyone plans on catching this soon."

Early reports claim it's a disaster.
