His name doesn't looks to be the same size as the title to me.

Where does the frontrowandcentre3 get off trying top pull crap like this? And why are we letting him get away with it??

Not a fan of ALW here but even less a fan of the emotive self-indulgent garbage that frontrowcentre2 posts about the West End.
I'm minded to send the link for this thread to Really Useful Group.
Has anyone had a PM from frontrowcentre2 pointing out (to the recipient) that he is a theatre critic and asking what qualifications they have for disagreeing with him? Several of us on the West End board have had them.

I haven't heard from him--probably because I'm not a very regular poster and am not important enough. Should I feel slighted

Since when does anyone need qualifications to disagree with a critic? A critic's opinion carries no more weight than any other opinion.

Can I just step OT for a moment to say that I really love the artwork for the flyer?

Why the anger Scripps ... have you ever met Mark Andrew ... He is one the biggest suppporters of the Toronto theater scene and a really nice guy ... I see him at openings all the time and he goes out of his way to promote local productions ... listen to his radio show ... he gets all the top talent to appear ... I think you need anger management classes.

In none of the ads I have seen (or posters or flyers) is ALW name the same size as the title so fair enough to have a rant however try to get the facts correct. The Canadian artwork for Sound of Music was similiar in relative type size to that for Oz.
Even the opinion about being a disaster like Spiderman is well wide of the mark. Somehow I don't think you will be getting discounted tickets to Oz for a long time.
I am surprised that the original poster is a theatre critic. I would have thought a serious critic would probably not display in public such vitriol for someone who works in the theatre. It makes you wonder how he can objectively review anything that ALW is connected with.

Should it be "Somewheres Over the Rainbow"?

That thought did occur to me, too.

"Why the anger Scripps"
Precisely for the reasons I've said. Whether frontrowcentre2 is a supporter of the Toronto theatre scene does not invalidate any of the ill-considered rubbish that he posts about the West End: his posts are as distorted (as many other posters in this thread can see) by emotive prejudice and not evidenced with facts.
