And from American Theatre, if you don't trust Broadway Journal.

Lizzie, it looks like GroupAGroup1 maybe copied the link from the Broadway Briefing email that went out this morning, if I'm not mistaken?

I copied it from the address bar: apologies if it's being weird.

Either way, as much as I wish Isherwood all the best, I'm quite happy with this news. His pieces have really gone downhill as of late from real criticism to plot summary, and he'd been dishing out Critics' Picks like confetti.

He did not choose to leave.

And thank you for the redundant thread. Although I imagine that it was probably impossible to scroll down 6 or 7 others to see this topic was already being discussed.

Honestly I rather liked him. Brantley' s reviews have become more and more annoying to read.
