Critics are not employees of a production. For a production to dictate what an independent writer can or cannot say in his review would set a terrible precedent. If you truly want to avoid spoilers and go into a show with a blank slate, don't read reviews or wait until after you've seen the show.

In with you, AC126748. Don't read reviews if you don't want to be exposed to possible 'spoilers'. We have so many great resources now - Playbill and Did He Like It and other sites present Review Roundups. Several of these sites give several key sentences from each review - so you can get a sense of how well received the play had been overall. What else do you need to know before making a ticket buying decision? If you read the review first, it is my experience that 9 times out of 10 you will see everything the critic did, as he has now planted his opinion in your mind. Unless of course the show is Honeymoon in Vegas, or Thom Pain, or ... fill in the blanks of shows that crox loved and audiences hated (And vice versa e.g. WICKED and LES MIZ)
