TargemQ8 makes a good point. Who are we to be so critical of Mr. Dale's column? It's not easy being a theater critic - they put so much work into getting their reviews ready, and often have no way of knowing how long their reviews will be posted or when they'll get their next writing gig.
I say we should support those who work in the theater, and not be so negative all the time!
Edit: Frankly I think most of the people on this board who spend so much time attacking theater critics are just out of work theater critics themselves. Jealous much guys?

"Any defense of Mr. Dale's inability to spell principal performers names correctly in his "review"? "
I know Mr. Dale is a big fan of the misspelled actors' work (before the show, he was telling me what a shame it was I missed Chiat sloshing tequila on a cell-phone wielding audience member during Urban Cowboy), so I'm guessing that the error was due to a spellcheck anomaly. Our editor doesn't have a lot of time to proofread stuff, and things slip through the cracks. We do out best to fix things when we are informed of our technical gaffes. I also think it this is the first time the words "Theatre Critic Love" have appeared in that order together, ever.
