"Don't be shocked, it's not the first time it's happened.
Someone mentioned Merlin. It also happened with Beatlemainia... I'm sure there are others."
Im fully aware its happened before thank you and it was wrong then as well.
"The point is they are charging full price seats for a preview period that they're marketing much like they're already opened. They're tricking the public into thinking the show's "in performances", but getting pissy if any bad press gets out."
Most shows charge full price or close to full price during previews (Spiderman has had many discounts for previews as well) so it makes no difference that Spiderman is doing the same. It's also not trying to fool the public that it's opened, the show is very clear in press releases that it's in previews. The openeing date change has also meant that the world press have written that it's in previews so i have no idea what you are talking about.
"The show is trying to make a buck. And consumers have a right to know if their money is going to be well spent. THAT's what reviews are for, whether people on this board take them to heart or not. They guide people on how to spend their money. If Spider-Man is charging full price and is not ready, the public needs to know
The show is in Previews and has admitted it has work to do, if the public chose to go and see it during previews then that is their doing. This show if you like it or not is a huge tech leap forward for Broadway and has admitted it has work to do (hence pushing the opening night), im glad that the team know the problems and is working to fix them and as with all shows should be allowed to do so during its previews without reviews. This show is hardly getting a preview period as it is because every paper is printing every detail of each preview (just look at Broadway World) that has not happened with any other show in recent memory except Taboo.
You can scream all you want how its wanted press attention but i have to disagree. The team wanted attention the show was coming like any show would but the press that has haunted this show is not anything they asked for or should have got.
The bottom line is that a show in previews has just had a review printed and that is 100 percent wrong and if this would have happened during Next to Normal, Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson or the Scotsboro Boys etc then people on here would have been up in arms.
Disneyland Magic Man i know you hate the show (the extent you hate it just puzzles me) but i would love to know how old you are as you seem to get things very wrong and your opinions are that of a child.
Namo i love u but we get it already....you don't like Madonna
