This really isn't a pan. It's not even a real review. It's an observation of what is going on in a show that has several months to change and grow.

I do wonder if they are going to keep Jordan. What ever happened to the announcement about Matthew Morrison?

Though Brantley suggests this is a children's musical, there were certainly a lot of adults around me and my friends who enjoyed the preview performances we watched over the past few weeks!

..."legitimate tear-jerkers..." I suppose it grudgingly admits the emotional response is earned. Damning with faint damning.

Not a pan? Didn't you read the last two paragraphs ? He, in essence, says that it' 's dead, wood, so why does the producer keep trying to bring it to life?

because that's what producer's do? Do you think they should just read reviews and roll over and play dead? jeez. think of all the billions of lost profits that mentality would precipitate.

Why are you putting words in my mouth? Read the thread carefully before you make unrelated , erroneous assumptions.

Your words: "so why does the producer keep trying to bring it to life?"

No, if you read the last paragraphs of the Times review carefully, I am paraphrasing the review to prove that it is, indeed, a pan of the show. As I said, read carefully before making your assumptions.

I was assuming that you were in agreement with what you paraphrased (and that that was why you did so). If not, then sorry, and you can read my reaction as being to Ben alone.

FINDING NEVERLAND is a children's musical, if you want to put your children to sleep.
