The Orange County Register delivers a less than positive review of the new Twyla Tharp / Bob Dylan musical The Times They Are A-Changin’ (currently playing at the Old Globe Theater in San Diego), calling it “an intermittently interesting but ultimately unsatisfying work.” I think at this point I’m going to stop trying to track and respond to all the reviews. Overall I think it’s true to say that the reaction is more positive than negative, and things look promising on that basis for the musical’s progress and ultimate trip to Broadway. But the show is obviously going to undergo some tweaking, and until there’s some dramatic news, there seems little value in weighing every opinion that comes by. And since I haven’t seen it myself, it’s a little unseemly (and yes, perhaps absurd) for me to knock the opinions of those who have … however much they might deserve to be knocked.
