I went to opening night and was pleasantly surprised with a laugh a minute and what I thought was well written. It seems the audience felt the same way I did. It was a lot of fun.
Somehow after I've read some reviews by the NY Times and it somewhat puts me off seeing things because the reviewers don't seem to enjoy much, then when I see a play or a movie I love it. I think I might not read reviews anymore.
Well maybe not, I just saw King Lear so of course I want to know what you thought about that

If the critic’s assessment that this comedy was about adultry, then I must have seen a different play. The reviewer’s question about Tommy Hilfiger ever having been a trend reminded me that three days ago my 15-yr-old niece told me about her high school friend who has only worn Tommy Hilfiger for past 5 yrs. One person does not make a trend, but the line in the play rang true to my experience. As an adult , the thought of watching a sitcom especially one with a laugh track has struck me as being like having dental work without novocaine. I am sorry that Alexis Soloski did not enjoy the play. I am sorry too that NYTs readers may decide not to see it based on that review. An important lesson drilled into me in my first journalism class that I hope all other students learn too is not to believe everything in print, even in the NYT and If and when possible, see for oneself .

“Has Hilfiger ever been on trend?”
Can three unprintable titles in a week be a trend?
“Who The Heck Knows?” [Yeah, maybe use "heck" to be printable and safe in the comments area!]
Tune of “Anything Goes”
Not long ago, we thought it’s vital
To make buyers know our title - as they pick shows.
Now who the heck knows?
The name in print was our ambition
To foster brand recognition - and drive B.O.'s
Now who the heck knows?
It seems like each dash today can mean cash today
Make a mint today, when we hint today
With what we do today, you must click through today
Just to see the name we chose.
And though it once seemed ev’ry as-ter-isk
Gave a show’s crew and cast a risk we'd soon close.
Now traffic grows -
So who the heck knows? Who the heck knows?
