GOOD VIBRATIONS review by Munk — Page 2

i loved "Good Vibrations" it was very cute.

---

I enjoyed the show regardless to what was said. And the five people I were with at the time loved it. Maybe it was becaue we had second row seats? I don't know. But I thought the story was cute, though it wasn't too deep. And the music was fun. (killed- but fun) And maybe I'm just biased because Seb. Whatever.

Wow, Munk. I find it very hard to believe that is wasn't fun for "The Audience" Did you ask everyone in the audience. It's very clear you didn't like the show, but OMG could you be anymore dramatic? A good review does much more than rant. I've seen the show and the singing is great, I grew up with the Beach Boys and usually hate remade/done songs, but these were good. I also can't believe you didn't get the story and how the songs fit, it wasn't that hard. The story wasn't Shakespeare, but it fit. You have mentioned time and time again how you hate these kinds of shows, so do you go just so you can bash them? It's perfectly OK to hate a show, but your review made no sense, at least the one from luvtheemcee made a point. I know that there are more audience members who enjoy the show then don't. Your overdramatic comments are just plain silly. I knew you wouldn't like it, but I really thought you would give an articulate and welling meaning review, boy was I wrong. If you think you were being "honest" you may want to think again. Just to make it very clear, it's not that you didn't "like" the show. It just seems like you had all these bad preconcived ideas and wanted to have everyone read them. That's too bad!

Blah, blah, blah. Anyone with taste knows this show is crap. It got absolutely abominable reviews across the board - you're acting like I'm the only one that hates it. It's crap - it's terrible, and I'm not going to aplogize for hating it. Garbage doesn't belong on Broadway. I didn't try to write a well-written, thought provoking review - I did the whole thing basically as a joke. It's just a terrible show, and I'm sorry that you can't accept that you have bad taste. And I did have preconceived notions - EVERYONE does - but I hated it. I go into shows all the time hearing bad things - and i LOVE them - THE CAPEMAN, TABOO, URBAN COWBOY, DANCE OF THE VAMPIRES, SIX DANCE LESSONS IN SIX WEEKS, etc. So your point is invalid.



Joshua: EXACTLY!

Joshua488, I really don't think that "Hateful Rants" stop ticket sales. When people do that they really lose credibility. Good Vibrations will do well because tourists will want to see it, it's a fun show and for those who don't like these kind of shows there is plenty more on Broadway to see, that's what is so great, something for everyone to LOVE and HATE

When I asked the box office if they had any rush tickets, I had to wake him up. When it registered (that I wanted a ticket,) he was like "Oh, definitely! Yea! Sure!"

Matt-G, I know it was like that, but things have picked up really fast. I'll bet it will show in the Broadway grosses. At least you didn't like the show, but didn't rant and I can respect and listen to that.

I wasn't trying to be funny, that really happened.

Seriously bitch, stop trying. I don't care about a single thing you are saying. And I am all knowing, please.

Well that is shocking. I couldn't wait to leave.

Munk likes to snark cruelly, and I doubt anything someone says here will change his mind about that.

I hate to bog down Munk's diatribe with facts, but:

"Anyone with taste knows this show is crap."

Of the 27 reader reviews on the NYT website, 16 gave it 4 stars or better and 3 more gave it 3 stars. The average rating for 230 votes is 3.97 stars. Also, only 1 of 5 readers found Munk's review helpful (I assume that was Munk himself).

"It got absolutely abominable reviews across the board"

Although the first night reviewers panned it, since then it's gotten great reviews from the UPI, The New Yorker, Bloomberg Radio and City Guide Magazine.

"It's not doing well as it is filling barely 50% of the house." (Matt_G)

Actually both the Saturday evening and Sunday matinee performances were SRO. The advance was up over 18% last week and the gross was up about 7%.

Munk, The fact that you have now resorted to name calling shows your maturity level. If you can't take criticism you should give it. I notice you got STUDENT tickets. If you are a acting student, you're going to need to grow up a little, learn not to call names when people critic you and try to give constructive criticism. You may not care what I have to say, but I hope for your sake you listen, if not to me, maybe to others on the board. Read luvemcee's review. they hated it also, but knew how to review. They made some harsh remarks, but for the most part it was OK.

I saw Good Vibrations for $3 so that tells you how well it's doing.

It was the worst show I've ever seen- couldn't wait to get out of there.
