I attended the Oct. 28 performance of Dirty Rotten Scoundrels even after having read John Moore’s scathing review of the musical in the Oct. 19 Denver Post (“Touring ‘Dirty Rotten’ is shoddy, misbegotten,” Oct. 19).

I expected to head toward the exit at intermission, but I was pleasantly surprised to discover how entertaining the production was and how thoroughly engaged I was throughout both acts.
I realize that the job of a critic is deliver an independent, unbiased review, but sometimes I feel critics do a great disservice to an audience that would otherwise attend a performance. The production was professional, and the actors gave 100 percent.

I rarely am influenced by a critic, but rather rely on my own judgment and word of mouth by like-minded theatergoers. Perhaps critics see so much theater that their views over the years become jaded.

Those who can do, those who can't turn into bitter critics.

Okay, gang, what do you think? Should we make this a homosexuality issue, an abortion issue, a separation of church and state issue, or a global warming issue?

If the claimed American were here, he could do it in a heart beat plus no doubt blame all of us as American haters and terrorist supporters at the same time

Hans Christian Brando,

Well, you know who will make it a draft-dodging issue.

Why didn't you write to the Post?
