wow, this seems to be a thinly veiled negative review of Taboo, no? the writer refers to the audience as less than rapturous.......later a theater involved person is quoted as saying they would walk out and the one positive audience quote this writer uses praises the costumes.

While not a review, this writer clearly gets his point across by mentioning the audience reaction. If I were Rosie, I suspect I would not be pleased about this.

I don't understand the quote "I 'would' walk out". Did he or didn't he?

I'm guessing since he works for a certain aspect of the show, the quote meant he "would have walked out" but didnt since he works for it...

Hmmm, I'm not sure. He allowed himself to be named. He won't work for the show anymore I guess.

I have to say I think the article is very underhand. Leave it to the official NYT critic.
