A critique has no value if it contains factually inaccurate statements about the content of a show -- for example, the comment here about the show being "heartless"...

But "heartless" is an opinion, not a question of fact. You (and many of us) may not agree with that assessment of the show, but if the poster feels that the show has no heart, that's his/her opinion.

I've heard people say things like that, time to time, about shows I personally find very moving. (Some of the Sondheim shows, for instance.) It's hard to convince someone that a show has "heart" if it doesn't move them emotionally. But that's the beauty and mystery of art - we all see it differently.
