I thought the review was pretty much a pan except for some of the performances. If the songs and book are both trashed, why would I want to see it after reading the review? I have a ticket for the show but I wouldn't have bought one after reading Brantley's and other reviews.

And after reading Brantley's review for Wicked I thought the show would be headed for the half-price ticket booth and a modest run. Instead, it became a smash. The critic's job is to be report honestly about how he/she felt about a show. I think most of them realize that today's theatergoers will take note of what's been written, then make up their own minds.
