I posted a very negative review of Kimberly Akimbo on YouTube and got a threat to delete it.- Page 2

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

Well now I'm really curious what was said in the original one, because we know the sass that you're capable of! :)

It's kinda funny that you think that your "opinion" is SO important that it needed to be captured on film not once, not twice, but THREE times and then posted on multiple platforms.

Apparently it was pretty much the same according to what he said in post #19

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."

All of this for a blurry/grainy/smokey video that looks like it was filmed on a 1998 flip-phone in an empty office. Zero effort for any production quality. Who IS your audience?

Rome wasn't built in a day and I'm just starting. Hopefully I will have a better production later on, but for now this is what I can do. Instead of being supportive, of course, BWWers are bitchy. I'm 100% not surprised.

I'm aware that I'm extremely far from perfect and not very polished at all.

I'm open to constructive criticism and advice, but I highly doubt I will find it here.

I respect your right in every way to post a video with a negative review (especially since you expressed your opinion quite respectfully), and while I don't think you should be getting hate mail for it, unfortunately that is the world we live in when people perceive their favorite shows as being attacked.  And honestly I've seen videos with worse production, and it seems like you have a decent number of subscribers, so I wish you the best in these endeavors.

BUT, I'm not really sure what the point of this thread was.  Are you just trying to post the video so more people can see it?  The title seems a bit misleading for that, and I expected more of an outrage over the threat you got but you didn't really include many details about that in your original post.  So while I'm sympathetic to the fact that you got a threat and felt like you had to take down the video, I'm not really sure where you expected this conversation to go.

In the words/Lyrics of Kander/Ebb:

For the sun will rise
And the moon will set
And learn how to settle
For what you get.
It will all go on if we're here or not
So who cares? So what?

Well I only have one negative review of the show, and it’s either bad timing or something else but I’m trying to see the show on three separate occasions, and Victoria Clark has always been out for each one of them… I’m just disappointed that for being the award-winning actress of the show she misses a lot and the website doesn’t list her out dates.

That’s unfair but I’m not sure why you felt the need to review a show that has already won the Tony for best musical? Not to mention that it probably will close in the next month or two. No one likes every show and if you didn’t care for it doesn’t mean that someone else doesn’t like it.

I’ve seen the show four or five times and Victoria Clark was in every time. I think it’s just luck for me. She’s excellent. Hope you get to see her!
