Reviews

Both the N.Y. Times, Ben Brantley and the Wall Street Journal, Terry Teachout, liked "The Motherf**ker with the Hat" and agreed pretty much my assessment of the performers, the writing, the staging, etc.
But boy did we differ on "Catch Me If You Can".
Both reviewers panned the show.  The reviews of "Catch Me" could be characterized as tough and very negative in regards to the choreography, music, lyrics, book, and direction.  That's pretty much the show isn't it.  Then they each praised a couple of the performers.  They mentioned Butz's " Don't Break the Rules", Kerry Butler's "Fly Fly Away", Linda Hart's singing and acting, and Rachel De Benedet's dancing.
