Baaad copyright breaker.
Tell you what- there's a chance that if you're a member of a largeish library system or a student, you have an online subscription to Lexis-Nexis, academic version or otherwise. You can use that to see the review without being all illegal and stuff. :)

And here are excerpts from the Wall Street Journal:
" Broadway has an original musical with that rarity of rarities, an original score...it's 100% recycled--from pure garbage...(the show) is better summarized than reviewed...Is that the sound of gagging I hear?...we're talking about RENT for the pre-school set, a molasses-coated piece of boob bait whose presence on Broadway, however temporary, is proof that musical-comedy standards never seem to hit rock-bottom--they just sink lower and lower...so far as I can tell, the authors are a pair of Pollyannas who were suckled on greeting-card verse, and the members of the cast either believe what they're singing or deserve a collective Tony for dissimulation above and beyond the call of duty...BROOKLYN is performed without an intermission...(making) it harder for unsatisfied customers to stalk out discreetly...ushers should pass out precautionary megadoses of Dramamine to all ticketholders."
Someone please put this puppy out of its misery FAST!
