Muscle23ftl, I know we would never get along with your taste in shows. I highly discount anyone's list that has Book of Mormon, Lion King and Hamilton as BAD.

Come From Away - A
Dear Evan Hansen - A
Frozen - C+
Hamilton - A
Harry Potter and the Cursed Child - B+
Hello, Dolly! - A
Kinky Boots - C+
Lion King - A-
Mean Girls - A-
My Fair Lady - B+ (excellent production, I just don't love the show)

Posted: 8/3/18 at 9:09pmYou all know Muscle just makes these threads to ruffle feathers by giving well received shows very poor grades. Art is, of course, subjective, but he just loves being a contrarian. Hamilton isn’t my cup of tea, but it hardly warrants an F. And why even include long running shows on the list? Just to get attention.

Perhaps not to you. But not everyone on the planet might feel as you do. I know I surely don't.
And why are you criticizing Muscle? He's simply offering his assessments of shows, just like everyone else here.
And I, for one, agree with many of his assessments.

Of course you do, Blanche.

I always enjoy reading After Eight's comments...totally agreed. If it failed to engage me and entertain me, it's an F! If I can't wait to leave a show, it's an F! The end.
