I haven't read Simon's review. I'm not going to click on it and give it more hits.

But I'm guessing that one reason is that nothinglikeashow80 makes some valid points about Finding Neverland's shortcomings, whereas Simon's displeasure with Fun Home is considered to be coming from a place of homophobia and his criticisms are largely invalid.

And that's not to say that there can't be valid criticisms of the show. I loved it, but I could criticize some elements of it, as I could about almost any musical that's ever been written.

Did you think that any of Simon's criticisms were valid? Perhaps I should read it, but I just can't bring myself to click on it.
