Cyclops was right. In the beginning of this whole mess we were presented with a simple conflict of opinion. Captain…

Speaking as a theater fan though... I hate this show. The price they are charing is ludicrous, it is just insane. I sincerely hope this show flops, if for no other reason than to show producers that they can't get away with charging that much for a single ticket to a Broadway show. The higher ticker prices go in New York, the more it becomes an elitist and rare event to attend the theater, and that just isn't good for anyone.
@SirCox The fact that it hasn't debuted and yet they are charging such high price preview tickets is one of the problems. They need the audience to get the feedback (and generate the revenue) but every time soneone sees a bad preview, they go out and trash it. You're right that it isn't set until it opens, but that doesn't matter, bad press is bad press.
Taymor leaving and a new director coming in, with new writers is the only thing that might be able to save it, but at this point, saving it means just being able to open and run for a few months. If this show isn't playing to capacity every night, they will close quickly. That's the nature of Broadway nowadays. This has become a vanity project for those still involved, an attempt to redeem themselves so that they aren't the butt of jokes for years to come.

As a person who reads a ton of these top 10 lists, I can tell you that while you are right in that you can do it either way, it does seem to me that when building towards the most, from the least, then you DO have to go from 5-1, or whatever your highest number is. I understand what you are saying here, but I actually think Josh did rank these somewhat, I mean it's pretty clear that MM is THE Leaguer, ya know?
That being said, I guess it's just something that is a pet peeve of mine, and I tend to point it out even when it's not terribly bad. This list, it doesn't ruin it, but when it's Top 10 80's Stars whose lives went to shit, and you start with the worst, who cares about the rest, ya know what I mean?
