ANASTASIA Reviews — Page 3

I've read three reviews -Time OutNY, EW and Hollywood Reporter-. The three of them mention screaming teenagers.

I... want to guess all the critics went to the same show instead of that happening every time? (But I guess the latter is fairly possible as well)

All fingers crossed that they get a positive from NY Times.

Serfdom in Russia was abolished in 1861. Slavery was abolished in the US in 1863. Is slavery worse if it is enacted by dynastic rulers?

"Um, yes.

Um, part two, slavery aint nothing to be proud of.... And perhaps it would have been understandable if there had been a handful of people "in charge" who were lined up against a wall for all of that too."

Um, yes? Slavery is absolutely nothing to be proud of. And I would argue that it is much worse if it is enacted by a so-called democracy.

The Huffington Post is mixed...

"I think Brantley has reached a "Negative but I'm not going to be Cruel" zen moment these last few days.... He seems to be pretty snarky though.

But he clearly didn't like this any more than he liked Charlie...

I've yet to see Anastasia (going in a few weeks), but I just sent the NYTimes review to some of my friends who have, and a few of them said they think he was far too harsh on the show.

Between this, Wicked, and even Charlie for all that matters, is Brantley ever really a fan of musicals that appeal to families and/or millennials?

In most recent memory, he liked School of Rock.

Matilda. Is Billy Elliot too long ago?

I agree with his review. But I knew going in that I was not the demographic for this musical.

Brantley may not be the demographic for this show but he's still being too harsh imo. And why do people keep making references to Trump?

He actually liked Chocolate Factory more than Anastasia. Bandstand next...

Well then you and Brantley agree on that. I for one thought it was a wonderful show. I mean...COME ON!

I am glad you enjoyed it.
