ITH, Sister Act, Legally Blonde are all worse than B&C? Well, isn't that just your opinion? Just like anyone's opinion, it's not right or wrong --- just like your opinion and championing of B&C. While most here have enjoyed it (and some have, indeed, loved it) there are others that haven't.
You can't personally apply "value" to shows -- because it's different for each and every person.
It's a shame when any show closes without it having a 'fair chance' to find it's audience, for sure. The reveiws didn't kill it -- they weren't able to get the public at large to get interested -- even before the reviews.
MIGHT have good reviews changed that? MAYBE, but only maybe.
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?
