We’ve all been online enough to know that @KirkHerbstreit is right that there are “psychotic” fans in #BuckeyeNation, but just because you critique your favorite team doesn’t mean you’re a bad fan.

@howrudeareyou When I got off the boat, I knew you were on the Queen Mary, so I was waiting… and then life and work got in the way. But it is on my to-do list for the week!
@PokerGO Lon and Norman are “legends,” but having them call the late stages of the Main Event is disrespectful to fans. They are a significant step down in quality from nearly all other options. Let the analysts who would rather talk poker than make unfunny jokes call the event. Please.
@DreaRenee_N@PokerGO Joining the chorus begging for this to be streamed, even if it requires some graphics concessions. Please make it happen, @PokerGO.
@katereinking I’m not saying Mincemeat needs to go OB, just that every show has its own path and forcing a square peg into a round hole doesn’t help. I swore SIX’s multI-regional/cruise strategy was a mistake, obviously I wrong. I’d just hate to see a good show make too big of a leap and fail.
@katereinking So, if a show needs to “prove” itself with a smaller run on the other side of the Atlantic before moving into a bigger, more prestigious house, I’m ok with that. I mean, most of the best Broadway stuff comes from Off-Broadway anyway.
@katereinking But did they not try because their data, discussions, instincts said it wouldn’t work?
I think after Hadestown and Cabaret (and ASL) getting such different responses on each side of the ocean, I am gun-shy to assume that something that works in one place will work in the other.
@katereinking I agree, but the fact that the original never moved is part of the discussion, I feel. I know very little about Mincemeat (other than that people love it), so I’m mostly speaking in the abstract, but inherently, I don’t think everything that works there works here and vice versa.
@katereinking Can’t that be said in reverse, N2N? A decade-plus after winning a Tony & Pulitzer, it had to play a small, albeit prestigious, non-West End house to get a West End commercial run?
I never want to underestimate that US and UK audiences have different tastes, knowledge, interests.
@FeldmanAdam@MoMoPerry I can confirm as well. I spoke to a member of the production staff that said that if they had done something like this, they certainly would not have done so on the night that the critic from a certain Gray Lady was in the house.
Last night, @NotebookMusical opened on Bway and while the reviews were mixed, @BWWMatt thinks it is far better than the critics are giving it credit for.
He also says that the casting of the central couple works on a talent and narrative level as well.
