I'd actually argue that these reviews are all filled with lots of positives that then boil down to the critic essentially saying "but that's not what I wanted..."

Posted: 7/26/18 at 10:16pmIt feels like the reviews are worse than bad: they’re indifferent. Most of these could be summed up with a collective shrug. I can’t say I felt especially differently about it myself. Well-intentioned. A generous try. But...meh.

Posted: 7/26/18 at 10:37pmMore negative than positive reviews, but, as someone who hasn’t seen this, I was expecting even more negative reviews based on the buzz on here. Not that it will matter. I suspect even unanimous raves couldn’t extend its longevity or significantly boost its box office.

I guess this will close b4 "Summer" but won't be around after Labor Day and that the Hudson is looking for a new show.

I fully enjoyed the show when I caught it in SF -and routing for its success - which does seem unlikely at this point with this NYT review
It really was smart, funny and love me some Go Go's

I hope the show is still open when I go into the city for bway flea because I truly do want to see it.

Ben Brantley disparaging people who use they/them pronouns in his review...

Exactly ....I didn't hate it, but I didn't like it very much. (and I really wanted to!)
But that NYT review is worse than I expected

I’d pay to see the show. I’d go see it tomorrow if I lived closer to the city. There are genuine people who really liked this piece and want to support it just as there are for every show.

MusicAndPassion said: "It’s not too hard to envision a simple but at least workable structure for a Go-Go’s jukebox musical. It could have been about a “Good Girl” who goes on “Vacation” and falls “Head Over Heels” for a “Cool Jerk.”
Escape to Margaritaville took that plot this season...(took it down, perhaps?)
I liked, but didn't love HOH. The music was good, story cute. Not a subte musical, but fun . More jokes landed than in, e.g., Getting the Band Back Together. Not high art, but I wasn't sorry I saw it

Haven't seen the show, but heard fairly bad things. I thought Brantley's comment about the "he finds himself strangely drawn to her -- I mean them" was a bit off-putting.

Disparaging might be too strong of a word, but he definitely was a little catty toward the idea in his review, which was off-putting. Sometimes he strikes me as being a little too old-fashioned in little ways like that.
