WOMEN ON THE VERGE (Premature) Guardian Review

The Guardian of London has already reviewed WOTV.

Having seen the show on Saturday, I can only say that this review is too kind. The show is a disaster.

"It does what a musical is supposed to do; it takes you to another world. And it gives you a little tune to carry in your head. Something to take you away from the dreary horrors of the real world. A little something for when you're feeling blue. You know?"

It may not be a harsh review, but it's nevertheless saying that the show completely misses the mark in every single way.

It bothers me when reviews do not cover the technical and visual elements of the show.

Aside from unsettling typos where there should be none, she also stupidly converts currency wrong. $5M is NOT 8 million pounds, but 3.

However, I'm glad she calls out the crassness and vulgarity of Yazbek's incessantly lowbrow lyrics, which more and more descend to the level of the fart joke.

Tell me this is some online thing and not the level of writing in the freakin' Guardian, for God's sake!

"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.” ~ Muhammad Ali
