PipingHotPiccolo said: "Thx for this correction. I thought W4E was fine, appealing, ok, but i had more fun at Lempicka, and was more moved by Notebook... the best thing about W4E was Paul Alexander Nolan who was overlooked. All very odd."

I agree (I haven't made it to anything yet) but W4E was the most "fine" show for me--nothing I loved (aside from the acrobatics), nothing I hated, it was just so mediocre of a show IMO. Lempicka had things I LOVED and

I really feel like I’m taking crazy pills when people talk about this show like it was unfairly derided. To me, and to almost everyone I’ve spoken to about it in person, it’s a conceptual mess."

i hear you but i feel like *im* crazy because while these are perfectly legitimate criticisms of the show, and i agree with some of them, the response to

I saw the show last night. I was sitting behind a high school class and so many of them were crying at the end and seeing high schoolers really connect with a show was really powerful for me.

I enjoyed it. I thought the directing was very cool. I don't think any of the songs aside from Great Expectations really stand out tho... It's an extremely emotional story and it works. The bond between the brothers I thought was particularly well played.

I presume there were two de

Most people buying show tickets for hundreds of dollars want to know if they are making a good investment or not.

The critics need to give an honest accounting to their readers, otherwise they lose their credibility.

I love flashy shows probably more than anyone. But once you get past the "exciting" most people expect there to be more there.

Flashy, exciting shows like Moulin Rouge or Wic

I saw it last night. (I can post a song list when I get home)

I'm reading a lot of people who hated it and are particularly critical of Eden here--I don't get that at all. I think there is a lot of things to love here. I definitely don't think it's perfect but I think it's fascinating. I think the biggest problem is there is too much going on. Everything is interesting but we lose focus in the main arc of the story when so many minor characters have big songs (Suzy

I saw it today! I was very excited to see having thought it sounded fascinating in production from several years back. I'll say the audience was on it's feet before the last note had finished being sung so I think it's a good sign. The vocals in particular on this are really incredible the 3 leading ladies and "kinsfolk" being the stand outs. I think the show starts and ends very very strong. There's a chunk at the end of act one and the middle of act 2 that I think
