Is it me, or does it seem like Did They Like It is really 'upgrading' reviews -- not just this time, but recently?  I didnt read all of the reviews, (I canot access some of them), but those I read didnt seem nearly as 'thumbs up' as they claim.  (And this was even much worse for Art and Jeff Ross.

Am I being too harsh?

I don’t think Sara Holdren’s review is negative. I would firmly classify it as mixed. She has a number of positive things to say about the performances, but she does take Jamie Lloyd to task for leaning too heavily into his chic; cold; bare, but expensive aesthetic he’s been leaning on for the last few years. It is also, as ever, a pleasure to read her criticism.

I found this disappointingly mediocre. Keanu was very weak, Alex was serviceable. I’m beginning to really question how successful Jamie Lloyd is at storytelling. Without a superstar vocalist or a coup de théâtre… I don’t know. 

The set was stunning and the sound design was perfection as usual with his shows.

Very meh evening. Not terrible, just bland. I paid too much.

I attended last evening's performance. I thought it has vastly improved from the last week of previews when I last saw it. Both four actors were perfect. Even Keanu I thought was superb. Truly heartbreaking.  The Pozzo/Lucky relationship was more disturbing than I remembered.  Just for the sound and lighting, this production is worth it.  I wish they filmed it. Strange to see such an existential play on Broadway packed to the rafters (I know why, but still....)

A very well mannered audience, also.
