Good lord, I object to so many things in this thread it's hard to know where to start. At the beginning, I suppose.
"GOOD" theatre is an utterly subjective term. Is "good" theatre musicals that sell tickets? (By this standard, OH, CALCUTTA ranks as one of the best musicals ever). Is "good" theatre anything written by Steven Sondheim? Is "good" theatre regional theatre with hard working actors working for minimum wage, and sacrificing for their art?
It's also a very bad idea to judge a show that you haven't actually seen. It's an insanely dumb thing to judge a show that NOBODY has seen yet. (And what is "LENNIN", exactly? A musical about the demantling of Soviet statutes? Good grief).
There's an interesting discussion in this thread somewhere, and many of you have made interesting points. I am just horrified, as usual, at the barrage of blatant, uneducated critiques being aimed at various shows and the attempted use of this lack of information as an arguing point.
