When I saw the show I thought all the actors were superb. I am 73 and I believe Jesse Green is the worst lead reviewer for the New York stage at the New York Times. They can do better.

A charge that has been leveled at every lead reviewer the NYT has ever had!

Bring back Walter Kerr. For anyone here who is really interested in theater criticism they should read his 1962 book the decline of pleasure which was required Reading in a drama course I took. Mr. Kerr received the Pulitzer Prize for criticism. I remember when hello Dolly opened he said that the audiences need not hold onto their hats because they will be throwing them up in the air anyway.

I had no idea that this book existed. I'm very curious to read it now.
