WOW! Attentive Board readers will know I have been saying what this critic said for quite a while.

Why on earth would they think a show that wasn't good to begin with, would make them money in a revival now?

I was stunned at how boring and bland SWEET CHARITY was in the 1980s revival. Apparently, not much about this show has changed.

I bet David Leveaux would have knocked Charity's and our socks off had he directed.

Why post only the negative reviews? The show has had some good notices.
