Everyone should just approach the show with an open mind. So you didn't like bklyn, so what? That is not any reason to not give this show the same chance that every show deserves. Do you always like every show that a certain writer creates? Probably, not. Honestly, you cannot judge a writer based on one show of their's that you saw and did not care for. Maybe if all of you bklyn haters can stop worrying so much about whether or not your opinions parallel those of the critics then you might actually find yourself enjoying the shows you spend so much energy degrading here. As for the question of what Mark has done in his life that is "so damn great", all I can say is this: although Mark's show was not a critical or even financial success, it has still touched many people and changed the lives of many, contrary to what you all may think. Not many shows can truly have such an impact on so many people. To me, that's pretty damn good.

"Are there really "hoards of Brooklyn fans" out there? If that were the case, you'd think that abomination would have run a little longer."

Actually, Brooklyn survived on Broadway just because of it's fans. With those reviews, the show could have closed after a week. But it stayed on Broadway for 10 good months.

Maybe Mark Schoenfeld's experiences can inspire some. This was a man who was once homeless, living on the street who made a living by being a street performer and because of the generosity of a friend realized a dream. There are so many of us that go through life day by day struggling, hoping and dreaming. Mark Schoenfeld got lucky and realized his. That is inspiring in itself. He may have some great material because of his experiences in getting "Brooklyn" produced. He may have something of value to share with others because of those experiences.

"You too, can be inspired by my story - from obnoxious street performer to a bloated egotistical maggot feeding off Johnathan Larson's corpse. It's easy!"

Will there be a song called "Papering the House"?
"Christ, Bette Davis?!?!"

Is there really a need to bash everything you don't like? If you don't like the idea, don't go see the show. It's that simple. No one's making you go.
