"Hollywood Reporter is pretty positive."

You must be reading a different Hollywood Reporter review than the one in your link. Pretty positive it isn't. He likes a few elements and the rest is quite middling. But since you're calling it a "hysterical spoof for the ages" we know where you're coming from.

Wow. If that's really Jon and Al, how incredibly stupid are they?

I wish more artists would engage with critics. At least it's a dialogue, even if it's a lot of name calling in this case.

>> "Wow. If that's really Jon and Al, how incredibly stupid are they?"

Apparently so stupid as to not know there are some things you discuss *privately*. Good lord... if I called out a critic like that, I can bet I'd have trouble finding work for a while.

I think that they are keeping it real and I can dig that. They aren't really musical theatre composers...it was originally just a little project on the interweb made strictly for the lols. Unprofessional, yes, but they are still allowed to defend their art and whatnot.

The thing is they're not defending their art, they're just calling out a critic and attacking him personally. Big difference.

Saw the show last night and I agree with much of what Caggiano says. But that Dream Ballet was one of the LMFAO funniest things I have ever seen on the stage. Gattelli's staging throughout was endlessly inventive. Sure the material is pretty puerile, but I'd rather see someone aim low and nail it (well, a lot of it anyway) rather than aim high and miss by a mile, which tends to come off as pretentious.
