« Woodstock: 36 years ago today | Main | Female Muslim comic; lions x tigers=ligers; Edith Wharton's gardens » August 16, 2005Lennon, the musical (the headlines are worse than the reviews)
How's this for a spearing lead? NYT (Then John Met Yoko, and the Rest Is a Musical): In the immortal words of Yoko Ono, "Aieeeee!" A fierce primal scream -- of the kind Ms. Ono is famous for as a performance and recording artist -- is surely the healthiest response to the agony of "Lennon," the jerry-built musical shrine that opened last night at the Broadhurst Theater. Ouch. Ticket prices range from $46.25 to $101.25 and from $44.25 - $91.25 on Wednesday matinees. Playbill dishes the opening-night celebrity scene that included Ralph Nader, Geraldo Rivera, Eartha Kitt, Liza Minelli, Rev. Al Sharpton and Roberta Flack and has only happy words to quote. Headline writers just couldn't restrain themselves. (Maybe bad art is contagious): Will Yoko's filter give this piece a chance? Newsday An unfab 'Lennon': Musical bio of Beatle legend may have many groaning 'Ono!' Worse than you'd Imagine This is London, UK It has some high points, but 'Lennon' doesn't come together Boston Globe Lennon Musical: They Don't Love You, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah... The Moderate Voice Help!
