there have always been shows that were critic proof and there have always been critical hits that closed quickly. the"anymore" isn't really applicable. a rave - a real one (not just a positive one with nothing slammed) - in the times can make a difference. the positive review that's really just that - a positive review - i don't think makes that much difference. a times review can really make a difference in whether or not something comes in from out of town. i'd love to see data on things that got terrible reviews and came in anyway. my feeling is while there might be exceptions for the most part they (the reviews) were right on the money. the other direction things might not fare as well. i think things can be praised highly out of town and not work as well when they come in. 9 times out of 10 either they waited too long, there was a cast change or, worse, they get stuck with the wrong theater.
