New York Theater’s (DC Theatre Scene) mini-review seems positive:

Here’s the full review. After reading it, for the first time I want to see it:

Nj.com really didn't like it:

That nj.com review is enraging to me. A willful misunderstanding of the show. Sadly, I suspect we will see more where that came from. I loved it. I’ll cross fingers these don’t go the way I fear they may.

David Cote loves it

"Shrewd, pitch perfect staging and hugely charismatic cast...a thrilllingly great look at mediocrity"

Thanks for posting. You are getting these up faster than Broadwayworld. They only have one review up so far.

Err, it's a Critic's Pick?

[Miles2Go2]

Not the first time a show with a NYT mixed review yielded A Critic’s Pick.

Yup, just went back to the NYT site. Still there.

4/5 stars from The Guardian

“A subversive look at masculinity boasts canny, self-aware performances and a shrewd dissection of gender roles”
