Ummm a bunch of PR controlled video and backstage blog doesn't say anything about whether or not the show is any good. And Ben Brantley's reviews are a STRANGER'S opinion. He's been writing there for years. We know what he likes and dislikes and can take that into account when we read his reviews. I absolutely turn to reviews for what to see, ESPECIALLY with movies. There were a lot of great movies last year (The Way Way Back, Enough Said, Mud) that would never have gone to see if it weren't for the fact that they got a high percentage on Rotten Tomatoes. They weren't highly publicized so I wouldn't have researched anything I hadn't heard about. In these cases, these reviews led me to see some great movies last year.
