Moulin Rouge (professional) reviews

Posted: 7/25/19 at 8:24am

Ive never started one of these, so hopefully not stepping on anyones toes! Actually, I was under the (incorrect) impression this didnt open until next week, so was suprised to see their logo this a.m.

Very curious to see how this one fares in print.

If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it? These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.

Very excited to read the reviews tonight! I was at the first preview and really enjoyed it. I am going again this Saturday.

Can't wait! I'm not expecting anything different from Boston, though
I should’ve been Blac Chyna.

If I recall Boston pretty much got raves, id expect the same here! Lets see how the reviews are, but id be surprised if they aren't positive. Im expecting a lot of $ to be made at the Hirschfeld. Congrats to everyone!

Ok, I gotta ask.... does the PRO refer to positive reviews?

Think it just is short for "Professional" reviews as in the Times, Hollywood Reporter, Variety, etc.

Looking forward to reading these. I doubt Brantley will totally reverse his out-of-town rave, considering the show has not substantially changed aside from cutting a number.

I agree totally. There was very little change from Boston, but I did miss the line about "Anatole and Pierre," which I thought was a cool tribute to "The Great Comet."

Will it be Brantley or might it be Jesse Green since Brantley already reviewed it out of town?

Typically, the same reviewer will re-review.

Yeah, because God forbid the TIMES admits its reviewers are human and their opinions are at least somewhat subjective.

I've long thought that since the NYT is the only paper that actually affects b.o., they should send three critics to every Broadway show and print their reviews side-by-side. But of course that would interfere with their pose as the Voice of God.

The days of Frank Rich is when the NY Times was at its most influential. The Times review is still important but not to the extent it once was.

That makes sense. Also, it's 2019 and NYT should at least have a FEMALE as one of its top theater critics. After all, I think more than 50% of the theater audience are female.

I as a man agree with having more females. PS The DIS needs more females period

Variety and Hollywood Reporter are mostly positive, but Yikes AMNY ( a publication New Yorkers actually read) is a Pan.

I couldn't read the whole review - but in the part I could read, Teachout says he hated the movie. So....

These reviews are as polarized as the responses have been on here.
