Here it is so people can judge for themselves. You have to wonder if this was all that made it into print of a longer piece.

Why the quotes?

"A big problem is that he’s often miscast, as in the 2012 musical 'Nice Work If You Can Get It,' where he gave 'one of the most unappealing performances of the past few years.'"

Why on earth is that last phrase in quotes? Whom is the critic quoting? Herself? Or maybe it's just a weird editing error?

Not that I disagree with the quote, I'm just wondering....

Thanks. I think it's kinda weird that the quote suddenly appeared without attribution.

In today's review, that quote is clearly indicated as a hyperlink. You click it, and the older review pops up. So the attribution is right there.

Thanks. For some reason, when I first read the review, I didn't notice that the quote is a hyperlink.

I just checked the print edition, and the review is not in there at all, so that answers that question.

How does it appear in the print edition? Does it appear in the print edition?

Print Edition? What's a "print edition?" :)
