| The Show Score... ? The show has played literally 1 performance. There are 9 reviews up on Show Score, and it says they are 56% Positive, 11% Mixed and 33% Negative. I'm just as unhappy with the new Encores mission, and just as skeptical about the approach being taken for The Life and a lot of what Porter has said... but let's not twist reality. |

| "The Show Score... ? The show has played literally 1 performance. There are 9 reviews up on Show Score, and it says they are 56% Positive, 11% Mixed and 33% Negative. " Chazwaza - the Show-Score for Encores' "The Tap Dance Kid" had, and still has, only 48 reviews for its total of 7 performances, so proportionally and mathematically, the reviews (now numbering 11, and currently 55% positive) from the opening night of "The Life" are already a larger sampling size than the earlier show had. To be fair, the Show-Score tally for that show worked out to 80% - but in the case of "The Life", based on the word on the street and in the wake of the first official reviews, I wouldn't be surprised if the eventual average goes down, not up. That may not be the case, and who knows, maybe in the final analysis it will have more thumbs-up than thumbs-down. Either way, please don't excuse me of alternative facts, or promoting some false narrative. The lowest-reviewed Show-Score of all Broadway right now is for "Paradise Square", and that one is currently ranked 20 points higher than The Life, at 75% positive. As I said before, "Perfect Cime" is the only significant show currently ranked lower. I agree with what others have said here, it's a silly website, but if anything their scores do tend toward the high end (as evidenced by every Broadway show on there). Regardless, while things will obviously change, my statistics from it at the current moment are 100% accurate and a fair representation of the reactions so far. I would hardly call that "twisting reality" – in fact, I would actually call it "reality". Thanks. |

| Dress rehearsal Tuesday packs them in and boy they were out for blood. A friend of mine said she had to stay because they were all there as a guest group. In other words no one paid. Maybe there were 900 in the three level City Center. | |

| I didn't accuse you of alternative facts. With all due respect, I did say that taking Show Score has a source is foolhardy, but moreso you absolutely misrepresented The Life's show score, at least at the time I looked at it (which right when I posted that). I don't doubt the score will go down further... that still doesn't mean it's a trusted source of any kind. It's like Yelp for theater, you have no idea the motivations or context of any of the posters opinions/reviews. It has its value, but as a solid source of assessing what audiences truly think, I wouldn't trust it. |

| Don't go by Show-Score. There are far too many "critics" there who love everything they see. Not a reliable source. J |

| Or the opposite, people who are extremely close minded with poor taste, especially the ones who will take the free tickets. | |
