So far, people seem to have nothing but praise for Murray's assessment of the show, and more tellingly, no criticism of his basic reviewing style. Three days ago, we had a bloodbath. My, my... what an angry review…Bottom line: You can dislike something without trashing it. Just who is this Matthew Murray anyway? Good luck to him - he's gone far on very little talent or ability. I find his reviews smug, ill-informed and the rantings of a person bitter about his own irrelevance. To me he demonstrates great difficulty understanding anything outside of his very narrow world view and states his limited opinion as fact - and that is why I stopped reading his 'reviews'. I suggest you do the same - there are many many alternatives. His bitter review seemed unduly cruel to me and felt very personal. The last person I trust to review a play is Matthew Murray. I can only surmise from his reviews is that he hates the theatre. Dear God, Matthew. Ugh. Just interesting to put this in perspective. This review seems as negative to me as the one for Side Show, yet no one is complaining about his attack. Hmm. Maybe Murray isn't the problem??? ;-)
