Posted: 11/29/13 at 3:13pmWell, I for one hate when people say that someone else didn't "get" the show. Just because you don't like something doesn't mean you didn't understand it.

Posted: 11/29/13 at 7:25pmSpeaking as one of those "other" critics that this reviewer is likely referring to who, like most everyone else, gave the show a mixed review, I agree, RippedMan.

Posted: 11/29/13 at 8:49pmThis guy's reviews just drip with excessive praise for a show that has a lot of promise, but still needs a lot of polish.

Here's Charles Shubow's rave review on BroadwayWorld.
"The music by Tom Kitt is just plain fabulous. Like I commented when I saw the Kitt/Yorkey musical NEXT TO NORMAL at the Arena Stage where I raved about it and predicted a Broadway transfer, likewise, IF/THEN I predict will be a huge success on Broadway. I can't wait for the CD."
It's been fascinating reading the reviews for If/Then.
