| My point was to simply say that, like CAROLINE, it's very unconventional and has major talents involved. That may please some critics, but I'd wager that a show this messy and self-indulgent is headed for a short run regardless of the notices. And I think that the SF Chronicle notice is a kind of tip off. You can barely tell what the play is about and what it's trying to accomplish from reading the review. But the writer, clearly wanting to be part of the in crowd, throws her hat in the air in the first paragraph. I think some ticket buyers may have an issue with her. Audiences can respond to a new kind of musical, i.e. FUN HOME, HAMILTON. This ain't it. |
