Thank you, and I appreciate that response - i've been unaware of the chat about it online I guess.
And I agree about Cooper and goodwill toward efforts to drum up interest in the show, I'm all for that and for whatever works to give it a longer life -- as I was for anything KPOP could have done at that point -- aside, of course, from willfully misrepresenting what Green wrote in his review, but that's not for this thread, and for many things that deserved a longer chance to find an audience or be seen, whether they were or would have been my taste or not). I worry for it/him that there is SUCH a flood of it in such a short time that it will have a bad mix of not being especially effective AND burning people out on the overkill. And maybe that's also why I'm more inclined to chime in when something seems like an easily verified claim before throwing it on the pile of stuff about this play and Cooper. There's already so much. And he's already SO successful and has so much attention, it's like... no need to beef up a claim that isn't actually accurate. But I really hope it works to extend the show long enough for me to be able to see it, I'm dying to - whether or not I am as taken with it as so many people (I've also heard some trusted friends with more mixed and reserved praise for it as an actual play/experience, but either way I really want to see it). |
