I think it's interesting that Stasio seems to have misunderstood the ending of the show, stating that *SPOILER**** Liz/Beth chooses the anti-feminist storyline. And it seems that this misconception rubbed her the wrong way. Jesse Green's review, however, makes the lovely point that the choice is irrelevant - in both storylines, Liz/Beth gets the man and the job..the only thing that is different is the order. In other words, no matter the choice, there will be highs and lows, and constant new decisions to make. Count me as a man, who, although perhaps not enthralled, particularly with some B plots in the first act, found it extremely fascinating. Then again, I am a theatergoer who would always much prefer a fascinating mess to a polished tap dance. Isn't life closer to the former?
