The LA Times review of Side Show , posted last night, is also very positive

Posted by: broadwaybacker 10:36 am EST 11/20/14

This critic calls it "The front runner for the Tony for best revival of a musical." That's a bit hyperbolic for me, given the acclaim received by "On the Town" and the fact that "The King and I" has not yet opened, but it does seem on balance that the reviews for this show have mostly been very good (with one notable exception, of course.) :) By the way, I might have missed it in other reviews, but it's my recollection that Murray's review was the only one to come down very negatively on Davie and Padgett.

I'm guessing that Jessie21 is away which is why he posted his review of the show very early and has not done a roundup.

Only that one pan, to my eyes. The mixed have generally been mixed to positive. I'm imagining quite a double page ad in the Times soon, with a rather impressive array of pull-quotes. The reviews that love the show are over the moon; damned with faint praise hasn't been the tone this time.

He is also positive about Allegro, which is nice given the pans on ATC.
