[NEohioPAL] Reviews on NeOhiopal

[Ensemble Theatre]

I cannot imagine anyone saying it any better, David. Let the reviewers, that is, those who
fancy themselves as 'critics' if that is a correct appellation, find an appropriate organ (!!)
to express themselves.
 
 The Plain Dealer, The Sun Newspapers, The Scene, The Free Times, The Heights Observer, The Call and Post, The Advocate, The Earth, Cleveland Magazine, Northern Ohio Live. . . . .any more??? How about an independent website devoted 
to all arts companie's performances? 
 
The NEOPAL subscription list is not the place for reviews. It is vastly subscribed to by arts organization members, and NOT by theatre patrons and general audiences who are seeking an educated reviewer to give them a professional slant on the production - and a reason to see it - or NOT!!  The internet has caused there to be a blurring of lines of authority, as well as professionalism. Hence - Tony Brown does NOT publish his reviews on NEOPAL. nor any other reviewer from those organs mentioned above for a simple reason -
 
Because it is the ticket-buying general public that needs the information, NOT subscribers to NEOPAL. Excellent point,David. And I happen to agree with you 
about Greg Violand and Mary Ann Nagel - I would listen to them sing a hardware catalog!!

I know this is a touchy subject, and many will disagree, but I urge anyone who reads reviews, as with any outlet that voices personal opinions, to take comments with a grain of salt.  Fred developed this amazing, one-of-a-kind resource as a way to support local theatre and artists.  While freedom of opinion and speech is imperative, are your personal views really so all important as to be posted here and to possibly be a detriment to business at a local theatre?  I may be mistaken, but I have not seen Tony Brown posting his reviews here, he leaves them for his paper, the forum that they were meant for.

I have not been lucky enough to see Pippin yet, but I have worked with many of the artists in the show, and I would go watch MaryAnn Nagel and Corey Mach sing the phone book.  I look forward to seeing what they do with these roles.

I for one, am thrilled that my computer has a "delete" button, and will look for my reviews from the reviewers and papers I choose, and leave this site for information about a great community of shows and people that I miss a great deal!
