THE TIMES THEY ARE A-CHANGIN'

OH MAN are the reviews of "THE TIMES THEY ARE A CHANGIN'" AWFUL, but ALL of the reviews I read spend nearly all of the review criticizing PLOT! DUH This ISN'T a PLOT-driven show, it's ABSTRACT as is their thinking! They barely even mention the fucking amazing singing of Michael Arden, come on!!!!! Having just seen a video of the NY production, it was a bit rougher & grittier in San Diego which helped, a bit too slick in NY. The sad poignancy of Dylan's songs resonate way too much today is commentary enough on our society! It's not neat and easily classifiable which seems to be a cardinal sin on Broadway these days. It's not perfect or totally understandable but either are dreams which is where this show takes place, crazy, weird, odd, strangely beautiful, sexy...isn't that enough to enjoy people?! I predicted that NY would "get" this show and it's politics alone would make it a hit, shows what I know.
