| As makes sense if they went to opening night, since the Friday print edition would have already gone to press. Not a "snub" but just the mechanics of journalism, and a commonplace in the UK where critics' previews happen much less frequently than in NY. | |

| Seems like the producers saw they had a bland show on stage and predicted lukewarm reviews. That bizarre mandate keeping critics out of the show before opening night was probably meant to do exactly that, push the reviews onto Saturday papers and mitigate the damage. (Very hard to truly do in the Internet age.) | |

| I resisted your take -- that the producers cynically anticipated the range of reviews, (too) many "meh" -- but now fully accept it. They didn't seem eager to have the press weigh in. As publicity stunts go, there's no big win in this decision other than to stagger possible mixed notices. | |
