That's not the point I was trying to make: I think you have to take critics with a grain of salt. And even critics can disagree about whether a show has achieved ''artistic success.'' Also, artistic successes CAN be popular, too. When John Lahr says that Stephen Schwartz hasn't written a single ''memorable'' tune in ''Wicked,'' that says more to me about Lahr's tastes than it does about Schwartz's tunes. Clearly, many people DO find ''memorable'' songs in ''Wicked.''
