I just wrote you a letter suggesting you fire this lugubrious and acrimonious human being whose reviews seem to be biased by his own misery vs any intelligent insight into the works. I googled his name after he trashed a hilarious and witty play that the audience loved, where I am in Los Angeles.

True ignorance is demonstrated when the "edited" version still includes the most offensive line (above). Where's the logic?

Now, if you look a few posts before yours, "mike" has posted the original text of this "review."

How is a writer granted permission to prepare a review for a show he/she has not seen? In my opinion it is not OK to say oops this was a draft and we apologize.

What will the American musical do for thematic material when the melting pot has completely turned to ethnic mush and no group is really underprivileged? We might be there already, in fact, which makes pondering sitting through this Broadway “blockbuster” a comme ci, comme ça proposition.

And although, Mr. Ridley, you "explain" in your retraction how such WORDS could be used---it really doesn't address the larger problem here---it is not Mr. Brady's WORDS--- it is the racist, INTENT in the whole review.

It's not "the L train," it's the el train, for elevated. Washington Heights is served by the A train and, separately, by an elevated line.

The L train may soothe Williamsburg hipsters and Hasidim to sleep, but without some kind of bionic ear it's gonna be awful hard to hear from Washington Heights.

Now, regarding Mr. Brady: I'm sick and tired of "Bozos" who are constantly given platforms to speak their unqualified opinions.

I read the original "In the Heights" review by Brady that now you claim ran "by accident". Sounds like you have a racist as your theater reviewer.

Would say JERSEY BOYS is "an excuse to employ dyanmic youthful Italian performers who dance and sing and holler"?

I have been on tour with “IN THE HEIGHTS” for 18 months,and not once have I eve felt compelled to write back to a reviewer regarding his or her review of the show until now.

We have traveled across this continent with this “Tony Award Winning Production” and it has been a great honor. To share “this” particular slice of American life with America has been one of my proudest moments of my life as an American citizen.
