The Telegraph, The Guardian, The Times, The Independent, Time Out, Mirror, Radio Times, The Stage, London Theatre.co.uk reviews are all 5 out of 5 stars. Metro 4/5. Hollywood Reporter and Financial Times are raves. Only Quentin Letts in the clickbait Daily Mail seems unimpressed. 

Begin at the beginning and go on till you come to the end: then stop.

Don't you just love a newbie troll?

A voice in the wilderness, alas. But it's still better than no voice at all.

It's sad to see how far critical standards have fallen, and how devastatingly the tyrannical mega-media hype machine steamrolls everything in its path. Still, we can be grateful that at least one individual has revealed at least a degree of good judgment, and even more pertinently, a measure of courage.

Mmm, because I despair at seeing juvenile, obnoxious drivel praised to the heavens? 

Sad.

As is your language.

Well, now that they've seemingly deleted his posts, this thread makes even less sense.

I mean, honestly, the DailyMail pretty much summed up my feelings on the show — a technical masterpiece that (in my opinion) lacks a sufficient amount of heart. It's a totally valid, mixed review, and I don't think there should be any hoopla about it.

No one was making a hoopla.  The OP was trolling and trying to pretend that all the UK reviews were awful for the opening of Hamilton....which certainly was not the case.
