The reviews seem to be getting a bit better compared with the first reviews out...still the casting is getting decent reviews.

"Judy Garland, Jimmy Dean, You tragedy Queen" ~ Taboo

"Watching a frat boy realize just what he put his d!ck in...ex's getting std's...schadenfruede" ~ Ave Q

"when dangers near, exploit their fear" ~ Reefer Madness the Musical

massofmen you really want this show to fail don't you, why anyone would want any show to fail is beyond me.

The poster said Positive/MIXED
They praised many aspects of the show

Theatermania is mixed to negative. Mixed if you want to be generous.

Nonetheless, the tuner -- featuring often mundane lyrics by Don Black and a curious book by Ivan Menchell -- rarely rises above mediocrity.

i dont want any show to fail. I want people to be employed. Its not positive. Its mixed if the review says "it rarely rises above mediocrity"

if it says "while sometimes mediocre, the show has great moments" or "the show drags a bit here and there but mainly stays above mediocrity"
or "while the music is bland and the sets are drab, the leads and the book keep you engaged while driving home the show into your hearts"

that would be more like mixed to positive..

Hence why I said Positive/mixed. I posted the link so people like yourself can read through the review and form your own opinions. Lines such as "definite improvement," "conscientious direction," "some sparks," "Osnes who wows with How 'Bout a Dance", "propel themselves into their roles wholeheartedly", "Hobson and Van Der Schyff deliver their numbers especially well..."

And the entire last paragraph:
"Contributing to the production's convincing look are Aaron Rhyne's busy projection design, which constantly reminds the audience of an impoverished land, Tobin Ost's period-appropriate sets and costumes, Michael Gilliam's flashing lights, John Shivers' shiver-inducing sounds, and Charles LaPointe's wigs -- one of which, laden with rollers meant to suggest a lady enduring a permanent wave, could be a stand-alone sculpture."

It's hard to call the review negative.

Well the good news if NYT gives it a negative review (which is my gut) is that Newsies gets their leading man back.

thank you BLAXX...jees just some reality sprinkled in here..i know most of you have a love affair with the show because mr. jordan is pretty but come on. Lets be a little objective here.the review is mixed to pretty negative..save for some lines about actors delivering lines well, and osnes dancing without falling down..and a DEFINITE improvement over the other wildhorn bombs,

thats like saying "the tone deaf kid is much better now that he can stay on pitch"

I agree it was mixed.

'i know most of you have a love affair with the show because mr. jordan is pretty but come on'

Very childish

You can yell at me again if you'd like to massofmen, but Bloomberg is mixed: 2.5 stars:

I'm not even that impressed with Jeremy Jordan. Stark Sands was way better IMO.

I agree CATS I found Stark better as well...

whats childish is using your emotion about a show to cloud what the reality is. I love how 10 min ago you say that i want the show to fail because I said its not positive..now you agree its mixed and not positive..so now because you agree with me..i guess by your logic you want the show to fail too don't you..i dunno why anyone would ant a show to fail.

"Solidly entertaining" does not sound mixed to me.

"The price of love is loss, but still we pay; We love anyway."

woah! that was positive!!!! great review for the show! how is that mixed?
the last line says "A pop romance about the American nightmare, “Bonnie and Clyde” is solidly entertaining."

thats almost a rave! who gave it 2.5 stars? thats like a 4 star review!

You're mixing up two posters, massofmen. It was I who initially wrote the positive/mixed comment and another poster who stated it was mixed and that you were childish.

I enjoyed the show but believe it or not I don't think it's the best thing in the world and I'm not overly surprised by the latest reviews.

I completely agree. Bloomberg seems extremely positive to me, and "Avoid the temptation to revisit Arthur Penn’s 1967 movie with Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway, and you’ll have a fine time" is the best sentence I've read all evening.

BONNIE & CLYDE Reviews

Yeah that Bloomberg review is actually pretty good

#143

BONNIE & CLYDE Reviews

Posted: 12/1/11 at 10:28pm

Bloomberg reads more mixed to positve

And massofmen if you read back i said the poster said positive/MIXED, i never said i agreed it was positive, i said they pulled out positive things about the show.
And childish is trying to say people are fans of the show because they fancy the lead. At 33 years old i don't really look at how the lead looks. I woulod say if i did i would much rather be watching Stark Sands.

ohhhh i re-read it..got it! sorry for mixing up posters.

broadway devil how in the heck do you think theatermania's review and this one are the same in tone at all? you don't get to judge reviews anymore. you are cut off

I think it's kinda hard to compare Stark and Jeremy, when how their Clydes were so different.

Stark's Clyde was a bit more playful and cocky which can be seen more in the first scene that he and Bonnie met while he was trying to steal her car.

Jeremy's Clyde a bit more hurt and brooding.

Plus, I can't, as much as I love Stark, see him singing "Raise a Little Hell" or even "When I Drive."

after seeing people post half naked pics of aaron lazar's body on this site i would venture to say there are many a poster here who sees and likes shows for more reasons than the solid score or book of a musical.

That could very well be true, but to try and label everyone who likes Bonnie and Clyde as people who like something for such a silly reason is childish.
