"Despite a new book by the Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Doug Wright, the ending, with its war-of-the-elements climax, is incomprehensible"
Wow!
Well I didn't want to get into it, but he's a Satanist.
Every full moon he sacrifices 4 puppies to the Dark Lord and smears their blood on his paino.
This should help you understand the score for Wicked a little bit more.

Funniest quote all night.

It just gets worse the more you read his review.
"The unfortunate Ms. Scott, a brassy young Broadway veteran (“Dirty Rotten Scoundrels,” “Aida”), has eight octopuslike tentacles to contend with, which may account for the bizarre mutability of her accent, which shifts among Cockney, plummy English, Brooklynese and Zsa Zsa Gabor Hungarian."

Posted: 1/10/08 at 11:36pmum, wow. Does Brantley mean "penny-whistle soprano" as a good thing? Cause otherwise there wasn't a single positive thing in that review.

I dont know, some shows get amazing reviews and close early. Others get scathing reviews and run for years. Do reviews really matter? It's really in the end, only one person's opinion. I've already seen the show so it's not like I was waiting for the reviews to make up my mind whether or not to see it. And I bet, there are a few people out there who were waiting for the reviews before buying a ticket, and will go anyway just out of curiosity.

Posted: 1/10/08 at 11:38pmAm I the only one who is still not finding BRantley's review? I clicked on theater and it's not up there.

Posted: 1/10/08 at 11:43pmWas this Brantley review worse than his Tarzan review? Hope they'll still be okay.

Wanna Be, I died when I read that.
So does anyone think that aside from not likeing the show, the critics are also getting a dig in at the director for not staying with the show until opening night? I heard a rumor that a small team was brought in a few weeks ago to work on the show.

Posted: 1/10/08 at 11:52pmThat both MERMAID and YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN would be trounced by the critics?
