TUCK EVERLASTING Previews — Page 11

NewsiesForever said: "I feel that Tuck Everlasting is going to be this year's "Honeymoon in Vegas". The critics for the most part praised it, but it is not endearing itself to the public with the mostly negative audience reaction. No two Broadway fans are like, what one loves, the other despises, so on this show and many more to come we are never going to come to a unanimous agreement. But I have to say given the overwhelming poor feedback I am reading from this thread and the other Tuck Everlasting thread, I think I will pass on this show when I go to New York later this year. 

If you actually mean what you wrote, you WOULD go see Tuck when you come to NYC because you will have a completely different experience than some of the other patrons on this board...True you may come out of it not liking it, which is fine, but if you stand behind what you posted, I think you should feel intrigued to come and see the show. Honestly, if you are fortunate enough to see any Broadway shows, why use this message board as deciding factor in picking your list....you should feel compelled to go with your gut, especially since "no two Broadway fans are like." 

 

Dramamamma611, I never said the show is boring, because it isn't, all I am saying is that with any new musical, there are moments that bare opportunity to be revisited when the time comes. And I think it is totally strange to call anything on a Broadway stage "children's theatre", since we all know that there is a level of presentation that is unparalleled to any other place in the county.

I think people are so put off from the rest of the show that they don't care how good the ending ballet is. Yes it may be the greatest part of the show, but it doesn't help weigh out all the negative aspects. The ballet at the end just reminds me of Sylvia's death in finding neverland. It's trying to evoke the audience into tearing up which is what we weren't doing the previous two and a half hours.
