Lord Brantley is not impressed...

Ben Brantley's review in the NY Times is up. Not good!

this is a very strange season so far hopefully. SR The visit and FH should get solid reviews though

Diane Paulus' first misfire, WOW!
Does anyone expect this to be Tony-Nominated or is it getting nothing at all?

Are these the worst reviews of the season?

I enjoyed the show in Boston. Something about it really clicked with me. When I saw it last week, something had changed. It wasn't the actors--I had no issue with Boston cast or this one--but it just felt flat. The energy that was in the show had deflated.

So glad Brantley made the Titanic reference. It's ALL I could think about.

Let's play "What nominations will the show get?" AND "Guess the pull quotes!"

Ouch! Brantley is back on his thrashing A-Game! My favorite quote:
I’m assuming the theory is that high volume will obliterate our awareness that this music is fatally ersatz. But there’s no disguising the feeling that almost every element of the production has a secondhand, synthetic quality: the dialogue, the jerky choreography (by Mia Michaels), the jokes, the anachronistic depiction of the show people who put on Barrie’s plays. (One of them, asked if he believes in fairies, answers: “My good man, I work in the theater. I see them every day.&rdquo

Brantley's comparison, odious or not: Good night for Mr. Jordan. Those who made a case for his continuing in the role have something to ... (sorry) ... crow about.

I wouldn't be soo confident about Something Rotten...but we shall see.

It bothers me that Mr Brantley refers to "Mr. Barlow, the composer." It's unprofessional. There are two composers. Eliot Kennedy should get credit anyplace Gary Barlow does. Even if the credit is a slam.

"Diane Paulus' first misfire, WOW!"
Hardly. There were critics who didn't like Pippin.

She won the freakin' Tony...NOT a misfire by any means.

Despite the pans this production has received...I still feel it's critic proof and will run as the grosses prove already selling @ pretty much on or near 100% capacity.

"She won the freakin' Tony...NOT a misfire by any means."
But Brantley's review for that show wasn't exactly a love letter.

Weinstein is 0/2 this spring,
with the excoriating notices for the
Radio City Spring Craptacular
and now the numbingly awful Neverland.
The fat lady has sung....and it ain't pretty

I have no interest in this show, regardless of reviews, but the fairy line, seriously? Ugh. What a terrible (and slightly homophobic) joke. I'm glad the show is getting called out on it.

I usually have trouble following Brantley's unfavorable reviews because he ventures off on a tangent instead of telling us what he specifically didn't like. This review was very specific, and included a consolation prize for Jeremy Jordan and Michael McGrath with favorable comments about their performance in Cambridge.

I practically agree with most of what Brantley says but am I the only one who took a double take when I read this:
"The spectacle of a strange man playing in the park with pink-cheeked kids usually sets off alarm bells, at least in this era of the Amber Alert. But not to worry. Mr. Morrison, in a determinedly neutral performance, has been divested of any hints of sensuality."
