I can't believe a play this banal and derivative has provoked such strong opinions, negative or positive, in anyone. It's too dull to be offensive, too familiar to be provocative.
But I'm dismayed almost daily by how banal our theater is these days, and how much it moves audiences nonetheless. People on this board bemoan Disney, but I'm more upset by the work explicitly aimed at adults that don't really engage us in any meaningful way.
