And when a show that you don't think is good (and that a lot of people you know also don't think is good) gets good reviews, you may wonder if a lot of the people who see the show because of the reviews may leave the show thinking, "Well, it's going to be a long time before I shell out that kind of money, or any money, to go to the theatre again." Obviously, regular, longtime theatregoers are not likely to feel that way. But people with limited experience going to the theatre might well think something like, "If this is what's supposed to be good, maybe I just don't get theatre. Maybe theatre is just not something I like."

i haven't read all the reviews but even if they were all highly positive - which is what brantley's is. a rave is a rare and precious thing and we haven't had one for a while - i'd be amazed if they turned it around for this. the word of mouth i'm hearing is terrible and the numbers we're all getting are worse. it's got the rest of january and all of february to get through and then an onslaught of new musicals. it's toast. not very good toast, but toast.
