^ You really need to stop being so defensive about this show...
"we both found it unfunny, unhummable, and flat-out offensive in its lack of topicality "
Isn't that a good explanation why he/she didn't like the show?
You said, "If you have nothing nice to say, don't say it at all" and yet you just contradicted youself by saying that you're a picky theatre goer and you have no problem with the negativity...
"Hey, you! You're the worst thing to happen to musical theatre since Andrew Lloyd Webber!"
