I hope that a number of people are now consulting their lawyers. If they happen to be lawyers themselves, then I hope they are consulting other lawyers. Believe me, the shit is about to fly.

Critics were gunning for that production to fail before it even opened. I'm not suggesting that critics should review productions favorably if they are not good, but it seems to me that perhaps critiquing the production and not maliciously pointing out the flaws might be a good start. Critics in Toronto do nothing but complain that the theatre industry here is so weak, but then do nothing to support it and help it thrive. We have had plenty of opportunities in the last few years (LOTR, The Producers and Hairspray) to make an impact and bring some tourism back. Why were they not better supported by critics - they are the front line, in many cases, in a strong marketing campaign. I believe they are the ones failing the theatre community in Toronto.
