A syndrome, duly noted. Shows maligned for reaching the paying public without all problems corrected at the workshop stage are then condemned when an announced strategy for needed overhaul is perceived as creative desperation. Sometimes, perhaps it's not from abject bitchery, merely the absence of a working knowledge of the process.

In this case, "Comedy Tonight" comes to mind: an added opening that established tone, point of view and even an evening's mission. It's hard to imagine "Forum" without it, only proving how mysterious the process of constructing a satisfying musical can be.
