WOMEN ON THE VERGE OF A NERVOUS BREAKDOWN begins previews TONIGHT! — Page 14

"I think everyone is pretty much unanimous that we love all of the parties involved, we just think the material is bad."

Have you bothered reading this thread? There are people who like this show, so your assessment "everyone is pretty much unanimous" is wrong.
-------------------------------------------------------------------

Do you like reading comprehension skills? That poster was saying that, while everyone who's posted in this thread love all the parties involved (that's unanimous), there are some of us who think the material is bad.

Noting the comments made about Bart Sher and the state of the show in previews: several times during previews in his Seattle productions, actors went onstage with scripts. He's developed a reputation for not being ready on time, unfortunately, with the show (and audience) paying the price.

Unforgivable in my opinion.

Just remember - if you join to post a negative opinion about this show, you're a troll. If you join to praise it, you will be thanked for your contribution. This formula is not scientific and changes from show to show, depending on the advance buzz and who is involved.

Unlike most other shows where if you join to praise the show, you're a troll. If you join to blast it, you will be thanked for your contribution.

Personally I think it's the presence pf Patti LuPone that has reversed polarity this one time.

The accents are all over the map and they go in and out. Patti sounded Italian at one point.

Phyllis, I dont know about you but Im waiting for the Opening Night photos! :)

So, because I'm new to the board and liked the show, my review is discredited...hmmm..sounds like every other message board out there in the interwebs.

I will say I'm no shill, just a meek librarian from San Francisco who flies 2500 miles twice a year to see shows in NYC and I see everything that passes through here-or premieres here (Tales of the City-I'm lookin' at you!). I am a huge fan of Broadway, have seen many shows and happen to love WOTV. No one forced me to see a preview, it was my birthday Saturday and I wanted to spend it with Ms. Lupone and I am glad I did.

Cheers!

I personally have not seen the show, and therefore offer no opinion whatsoever. However, right or wrong, new poster's opinions are given far less weight until their intentions become clearer. Whether positive or negative, it is assumed that a new contributor arrives with an agenda. If this is not the case, eventually you will be judged on your body of postings.

Another review here with pictures of the curtain.

Yes, I like them. Do you?

Nope. That's not how it's written.

This thread is embarrassing.
