Has anyone actually seen Brooklyn?

I've seen numerous posts declaring Brooklyn trash, citing most prominently the poor reviews. But has anyone actually seen the musical since it opened on the 21st? If so, did you like it (from all the negativity, I'm guessing most didn't). And if you truly didn't like it, how come... what is so awful about it after having seen it?

if you do a search with "Brooklyn" as Subject, you'll find your answers...

I saw it ON the opening night and I've said it on here many a times, I think I not only lost brain cells because of it but I may be forever emotionally damaged from having to sit through it.

Good lord, Tiny Toon, you are becoming a giant, shilly, joke. Do you know any other word beside "amazing"?

i doubt you saw it opening night since it was invited guests only . Not people who clearly just want to smash the show. Besides Ave Q is 2 theatres away..

Matt Rogers you can kiss my small ass. Trust me, it wasn't comped.. But, I won't bother to fight with a 50 year old "I have done nothing with my life" man.

I'm 50? That's news to me. I haven't done anything with my life? More news to me. You should tell that to my accountant. He'll get a good laugh.

Since you've made such shallow assumptions, maybe I should assume that you are a 16 year old pimply hag who has never met a donut she didn't like, and that your buffalo butt is so big you can't wipe it and you have to buy two seats for any show you see, who thinks Miss Brittney Spears and Celine Dion are the modern masters of music and whose idea of a glamerous night on the town is a super size Big Mac Meal...but I won't stoop to your level.
True? Maybe. Maybe not. How would I know. I never met you (thank god), and never will (double thank God.)
Moral of this story...don't assume. It just makes you look stupider than you already look by shilling about Brooklyn all day and all night.

Matt Rogers, You officially win for making me laugh so hard that I cried!!! DAMN YOU KNOW ME LIKE A BOOK!!!!

P.S.
Matt, I don't think you are a very nice person by making fun of the overweight community. You should be ashamed of yourself.

i believe TKTS was selling tickets for opening night...

Trust me.... the only ones who got in for opening night was invited guests. Maybe you are talking about opening night of previews?

That's not true. I promise you I was there. If you don't believe me then you're just wrong. Like I said, I will scan my ticket if you want. I got in. I got in with 3 other people but we were all in different areas of the theater because they didn't have 4 together. I've learned you can always get tickets to opening night if you're persistant enough. I'll list ALL the opening nights I've been to. If you go to the BO often enough or on the day of the show and ask, they WILL eventually give you tickets.

I do apologize..i "checked" my facts and indeed the shuberts took a BUNCH of tickets for themselves as usual.. and released about 50 to make money.

CJR never seems to be in a good mood!
