I posted a very negative review of Kimberly Akimbo on YouTube and got a threat to delete it.

So I had to re-record it, but the sentiment is basically the same. I got so much hate email for an entire month it was a bit rough. But I have thicker skin now, so here it goes:

Haha, thanks for the kind response. I also posted a review of that other show you named on youtube, I am sorry to disappoint you, I thought SLIH was awful, not as awful as Kimberly Akimbo, but both were a waste of money and time for me.

I think that the thing with the part of the show you spoke about in your comments on YouTube is that one has to suspend reality. Society has gotten uber PC and offended by things that, with something like this, a lot of people don't stop to think that this really isn't happening or a problem. It's just part of a story. And we also don't give kids enough credit to know that they are not going to walk out of this show and start washing checks. (Ok, maybe one or two might!) In my opinion, if we keep complaining about these things it will, and to a small degree has, stifle the creativity of playwrights. Something they may want to include they may not, out of fear of "offending" people. This part of the show did not bother me, although I found it to be pretty out there! But they made it work. JMO

Yes, it would be nice in a perfect world if people could civilly disagree. It is way too easy for people to hide behind some screen name and send hate mail. That being said, did you honestly think that this was not going to happen with fanatics of a popular Broadway show. The other point I will make is why did you care what they said even if it was very nasty. You don't know these people and never will, glad you "bucked" it up and recorded it again. I saw Kimberly Akimbo and really liked it, to each their own. Just curious, do you ever post positive reviews of a show on youtube?

MAIN POINT: Your opinion is as valid as anyone else's, and it's disgusting that anyone threatened you about it.

SECONDARY POINT: I disagree with your take on this. The show portrays Aunt Debra as an immoral person, and the check-washing scheme as an immoral action. Our title character insists that the victims be paid back, and I think the denouement of the show suggests that that will happen.

TERTIARY POINT: I agree with you about other shows, like The Gardens of Anuncia. I look forward to your future contributions.

Diana 5?

Some people can't let go. Diana is from 2021, we're in 2023! And I rate shows based on the level of engagement I have. Diana kept me engaged the whole time, so yes, it was a 5 in terms of entertainment. Hamilton bored the crap out of me. And no, it was a personal threat, he said he was involved with the production of the Kimberly Akimbo. I deleted it, because I didn't like that I had a very long pause in the video I deleted, the re-recorded video I posted had the exact same sentiment/words/opinions about the show.

Well, speaking of bitter queens that can't let go, someone on here kept bothering me because I liked Bombay Dreams since 2006.

this is easily the funniest thread of the year

Fans of shows have gotten extremely territorial. You disagree with them about a show, or someone winning an award, and everyone crawls out of the woodwork to put you down and insult you and say rude things like "how dare you disagree!". Personally- I always see people talk about how Reeve Carney was robbed for Hadestown and I have to say- I disagree. But I wouldn't dare say that on Twitter or something, because I know for absolute certain the way people would come after me. It's horrible. They have got to chillll
