I don't think there is any single show one needs to see to qualify as a reviewer. And, by pointing out he hadn't seen it before, he allows the reader to draw conclusions (if any) on their own. And the review seems both fair and fairly positive; it doesn't read as if he is harboring any kind of anti-ALW grudge or snobbery. There can be loads of reasons he hasn't seen it before, including just not having gotten around to it yet.

Oh, I wasn't implying his lack of seeing the show was any bias against the creators or commercialism of the piece. Just seems to me TPOTO is a prominent piece of recent theater history and seeing it could provide context for reviews over time.

I saw it three times and don't care to revisit it again. Though I did see the Las Vegas production a couple years ago and thought it was wonderful.

Sorry, Patrick. Perhaps I'm jaded and have come to assume most things on ATC are attacks. You were only registering a little surprise. I'll try to chill a little.
