| It's a bit unfair in my opinion for you to speculate that people who like the Temps and their music might hate the show, not having seen it. Perhaps that's true, but the show is selling out every seat, the reviews were very good if not excellent for the most part and word of mouth, at least based on what you see and hear while leaving the theater seems to be very strong. So since you say that you like The Tempations, give it a chance and maybe you'll really enjoy yourself. And I doubt you'll conclude that the songs were "barely incidental ". | |

| Well, to defend myself (and you did not misstate what I wrote), I will just emphasize I said "might well hate the show," rather than "would." Again, you didn't say that I said they would hate the show, but I just want to emphasize what I wrote. So I don't think it really was unfair. If I had said that people who like The Temptations would hate the show, that would be very presumptuous on my part, and I wouldn't write that. I'm just not interested in these bio kinds of catalog shows. And if I were more interested, the hyperactive choreography seen on the Tonys would still be a turnoff for me. Perhaps it's not representative of what's generally in the show choreographically, but there was a quote I read from Trujillo that did make it sound like he generally made the choreography a lot busier than what The Temptations did. I know a lot of people like that sort of thing. I don't. |
