Posted: 8/14/04 at 5:43pmPERHAPS SOME OF THE LONGTIME THEATREGOERS ON THIS BOARD COULD ENLIGHTEN ME. WHO ARE THE MOST RELIABLE CRITICS AND REVIEWERS AROUND? ARE THERE SOME THAT SEEM TO BE RIGHT ON MOST OF THE TIME? SOME THAT SEEM TO DISTAIN EVERYTHING? ( A BIT OF JEALOUSY IN THEIR WRITINGS, PERHAPS?). DO THE SAME CRITICS WRITE FOR BOTH THE WEST END IN LONDON, AND FOR BROADWAY SHOWS?

Scroll down this page and take a look at MargoChanning's take on the current crop of reviewers. It's a beautifully written primer for anyone interested in the subject!

Crissy, when the caps lock is left on, it is felt that you are "shouting" to those reading it. It is also very hard to read and follow.
To answer your question, I nearly always react the opposite from critics. They gush, I "ho-hum". They hate it, I go back again and again. You have to decide for yourself. Read the critics, see the shows, find out if you agree or not, and with whom.

Posted: 8/14/04 at 11:00pmMamie - just a thought - maybe we should index most of Margo's posts for research purposes.

Posted: 8/15/04 at 12:26amNot a bad idea. Even if the subject doesn't interest you, they can always be taken as a lesson in excellent writing.

localonecrew, amd everyone else,Sorry!!!!
my eyesight is VERY bad. have found it is easier to see what i have typed when it is larger. sorry if the "sound" offends anyone. i would think the tone of the writing would mean more to someone than the size of the letters! how stupid of me not to know that. i beg your forgiveness!

Crissy, it's a classic turnaround. You can see the capital letters easier, but those of us reading you can't. I don't know how the internet convention was started that caps was shouting, given your explanation I wouldn't have a problem with it, except it's hard for me to read. Maybe if you put paragraph spacings between sentences.
Like this.
In any case, I hope some others will answer your question. :)
