farley drexel hatcher Posted September 17, 2009 Posted September 17, 2009 Some more photosAlso regarding bad reviews ... you kind of have to expect a fair amount of them. This is just the territory they're in now, and it's a critic's job to say if they do and don't like it. I'm hoping there are enough people out there that enjoyed it to cancel out the bad reviews, but there will still be ones out there who hate the show.
GDM Posted September 17, 2009 Posted September 17, 2009 First Review.... Not Good http://blogs.mercurynews.com/aei/2009/09/1...american-idiot/woah. that... is... woah.ugh... rereading this review... he's actually rehashing the "sold out" meme, even if he's a fan of their music. This paragraph was the most telling: "It’s not punk rock. It’s barely rock ‘n’ roll. It’s just big, loud, bland and intended for mass consumption. It’s the equivalent of Green Day night on TV’s “American Idol.” Where once there was fine Gouda, now there’s only pre-packaged Velveeta. In other words, it should do big business once it finally reaches Broadway."and I'm so sick of people talking about either Rent or Spring Awakening when it comes to rock musicals. Can't reviewers be a bit more original? probably not.Too bad. Let's hope for better things from the other reviews.
jenni Posted September 17, 2009 Posted September 17, 2009 First Review.... Not Good http://blogs.mercurynews.com/aei/2009/09/1...american-idiot/woo...Disney movie...just 3 words: fuck you, man!!!!!!
MassHysteria Posted September 17, 2009 Posted September 17, 2009 Not a review, but an interesting pre-show article:http://www.dailycal.org/article/106651/ant..._rep_s_americanJust now watched that ABC news segment, has some good shots from the play.
farley drexel hatcher Posted September 17, 2009 Posted September 17, 2009 http://www.mercurynews.com/breaking-news/ci_13356800Good review
MassHysteria Posted September 17, 2009 Posted September 17, 2009 Good Review! (From the same paper oddly)http://www.mercurynews.com/twitter/ci_13356800?source=rsshttp://www.mercurynews.com/breaking-news/ci_13356800Good reviewwoops repost
Tripe Posted September 17, 2009 Posted September 17, 2009 Can't get too bent out of shape from the bad reviews. That first one actually makes some valid points with regard to story development, etc. I'm just hoping there are plenty of good ones too!Loving the photos, thanks!
MassHysteria Posted September 17, 2009 Posted September 17, 2009 Love this:"Based on the 2004 album of the same name, this genre-bending 95-minute show runs through Nov. 1. And if there's any justice in the world it will head east shortly thereafter."
GDM Posted September 17, 2009 Posted September 17, 2009 Can't get too bent out of shape from the bad reviews. That first one actually makes some valid points with regard to story development, etc.Very true, and it's stuff I've heard other people say, but his review makes it seem that there are no redeeming qualities to the show at all. That was a bit bothersome.The other review is great, but it's bothersome, too... there are no critical assessments of the show. I think a balance of the two would be more beneficial or enlightening.

I think a balance of the two would be more beneficial or enlightening."The one false note may be the aerial sequence in "Extraordinary Girl," which falls a little short of the dream-like fantasia it aspires to be.""In fact, the brief narration is the only clunky part of the piece, because it doesn't stand up against the lyrics"
GDM Posted September 17, 2009 Posted September 17, 2009 "The one false note may be the aerial sequence in "Extraordinary Girl," which falls a little short of the dream-like fantasia it aspires to be.""In fact, the brief narration is the only clunky part of the piece, because it doesn't stand up against the lyrics"Thanks. I was on the phone reading it and having an argument with my rental management company. I skimmed and didn't read it fully. so I'll revised my opinion, great review!
Abbey. Posted September 17, 2009 Posted September 17, 2009 You are a picture-finding goddess. Thank you for providing me with my fix of new GD photos for the day. And a review is only one person's opinion. May we all get the chance to see AI and form our own!
