Didn't realize it was opening so soon. I saw both it and A Life In the Theatre this weekend not thinking that I was catching them both right before opening. I wonder what kind of reviews it will get. Did it get good reviews at the Public?

Well of course the pull quotes are going to be good. 
Doesn't necessarily mean the overall reviews were. I don't remember off-hand, I didn't really care, just saying.

It had a B+ on StageGrade, with most of the major reviewers giving it a positive notice. I think the major dissenter was the Village Voice.

Wow- that Talkin Broadway review is so muddled and poorly written. What is it talking about?? Positive or negative? It spent like half the time talking about how the lead actor physically appeared.

Fabulous. Looks like a very positive maybe not-quite rave from the NYT!

A second viewing would be worth every penny...I can't wait. A perfect show for Thanksgiving week...with the Indians and everything!!

So much of what I've read this morning seems to be from people who just want to suckle B Walker's tits (most of all Brantley, who seems to have sent Walker the key to his apartment, and is waiting, tail up).

Brantley is very positive. Not an all out rave, but he definitely liked it. Seeing this Saturday. Really looking forward to it!

True, and it's as old as the theatre. Remember Hugh Jackman's Tony?

Interestingly enough, TheaterMania thinks it lost some of its appeal from the Public while the Post seems to think it gained that extra "something" from the move, and gives it ***1/2 out of ****.

On Broadway it got good reviews to solid reviews even from Terry from WSJ and that is saying something it is just amazing that it will not win the tony for the public due to its lack of commercial value . But do see it it is apparently amazing. I will go as far to say this is the best show on Broadway right now

on my next trip to nyc i'm only going to see BBAJ too learn how a good idea goes from
bad to worse. too bad the material seems a little dated now. Ben B. from NYT's had to give it a decent review due to his RAVE review from the public.

No, he didn't.
The material isn't dated at all- if anything, it works extremely well with burgeoning Tea Party right now.
