People who've only read it on-line, segregated from the rest of the paper, are missing the point: it's on the first page of the Friday Arts and Leisure section, with a carry-over on page 2, a huge photo, and the full cast and credits listing, per any Brantley review. The only major theater report in the Friday paper. John and Jane Q. Public reading this discussion of the production will clearly parse the opinions expressed as a review. We can split hairs here, reading it on-line out of context with the Times, but if you see it in print, or even as a part of your daily cyber edition (I've examined both) the distinction is ultimately pointless; it appears an early Times evaluation of a B'way bound production, one that certainly failed to earn their first tier critic's full imprimatur. I think in the rarefied world of theater boards these carefully shaded differences are rather more pronounced than elsewhere.
