I wish I could be as generous, but there are some shows that are terrible. But here I am a puzzled by the extremes in response. Some people do really like it while others really hate it. I never trust those extreme reactions, really. "Jason Robert Brown finally has written a hit!"
"Jason Robert Brown has written his worst score!"
"I laughed and smiled all the way through."
"I left maybe twice."

Because of the highly positive reception at Paper Mill, Honeymoon is probably the most anticipated new musical of this season. Expectations are unrealistically high so inevitably some posters will be disappointed. I would skip the preview period and see what ATCers say after the opening.

I probably will see it on my next trip, which will most likely be in March.

"... but there are some shows that are terrible. " And there will always be people who disagree (the recent Doyle discussions would be good examples).

I'm not sure what you're looking for - if it's the answer to the question of whether or not to buy a ticket, you'd be best to get an opinion from someone you know has tastes that align with yours. Or just wait for more posts and decide on how the show sounds, not whether or not others love or hate it.

But it's very possible there will be no consensus, because there rarely is.

Ann, Onward Victoria and The Times They Are a Changin' were both terrible, trust me :-)

If so, I don't think there would be any doubt as to what to believe when reports about them.
