Even Gigi and Finding Neverland didn't get the thrashing like this.

So I have tickets to the matinee on May 13th... What are the odds that I'll actually be going? I'm thinking not likely.

These reviews are so hysterically bad it makes me want to see the show.
I feel the same way...

If you already have tickets for this show, you'll be lucky if it closes before the date printed on your tickets. Be careful about wanting to see something because the reviews say it's awful and you want a "good laugh." I did that once and was bored out of my mind. Reviews of truly bad shows tend to be more entertaining than the objects of their ridicule!

You can read the previews thread here:

The reception was not positive, to say the least

Besides the fact that people will be out of work, I honestly have no issue if it closes before May 13th. I have pretty much zero interest in it and am only going because a friend is dying to see it (it will be his first Broadway show, we are then seeing Skylight that night). If it closes, at least we will be able to see something like Hand to God or Something Rotten instead.

I could probably see Paul Nolan getting a Featured Actor nomination.

Yikes. Now I have more faith in Honeymoon getting nominated.

In my opinion, yes. It is.

Having seen the show only in Sydney, it was terrible there too (as I have somewhat relentlessly complained on here). Australia is not very critical towards musicals.
Give me claws and a hunch, just away from this bunch.

Oh Jesse Green...I love reading his reviews and he was out on a vengeance with this one.
I don't see how this will be able to last much longer.

Some reviewers seem to get hard when really roasting a show and pouring gasoline on the fire. A simple I did not care for it would suffice but not to these guys.
I have no respect whatsoever for this group of untalented hacks.

You didn't like Mormon Roxy? How come you've never mentioned this before?

A bit of an aside, the @FansOfMutu twitter account is doing a phenomenal job of pulling good quotes of Tam lol.
But seriously, I really feel for the actors here.

Even though the show is getting bad reviews, I still would really appreciate a cast recording to be made.

it raves in Australia
Australian critics really say anything bad about anything, they get paid by the producers to review the shows, it could by the worst thing ever and an Australian critic will still find something nice to say about or talk about who was there on opening night!
Reviews in Australia are not worth the paper they are printed on!
Well I didn't want to get into it, but he's a Satanist.
Every full moon he sacrifices 4 puppies to the Dark Lord and smears their blood on his paino.
This should help you understand the score for Wicked a little bit more.
