Don't buy that argument at all. First of all, I always admit if I haven't seen something. In cyberspace what would keep me from claiming I've seen Wonderland a few times before offering my assessment. These videos are used for promotion, to get people to buy tickets based on what they're showing. All I'm saying, is BASED ON THIS VIDEO I would NOT care to see Wonderland.
Wow, with that joke/pun writing skill of yours, perhaps you should rewrite the book for Wonderland.
Do you not decide what movies you'll see partially (or largely) based on previews? Of course you. To imply that no one has a right to an opinion because they haven't seen every production beforehand would certian limit the discussions here.
Should I say that because you haven't seen all of the Broadway and Off-Broadway shows/musicals I've seen (probably before you were born) therefore you're not qualified to have opinions about productions you have or have not seen?
These are discussion forums, nothing more, nothing less. Pure opinion. If we start deciding who's "qualified" to have opinions are not, probably dozens of posters would be disqualified (at least by me).
I have advanced degrees in Theater, so what?
I've taught theater at a state university, so?
I've directed off-B shows, so?
I've worked on a couple of B'dway musicals? Big F---ng deal.
I've stage managed/asst. directed national tours of hit musicals... etc., truly. However, none of that matters a bit. I'm just a cyber-schlub with an opinion based on 13 minutes of performance video -- sanctioned by the created and producers, So sue me.
