Let the bad reviews start to role in. I just have questions for all of the reviewers, are reacting to all the negative publicity, bad reviews or the general public opening delays at this point? How would they feel if some one just grabbed the review that they are writing and just published it? I feel that they should just wait to see where it goes from here. There are always problems when you are working on something that has never been done before, when you are stretching what can be done in an innovative way. They obviously set back the date because they feel that there show is not ready yet for the public and needs more time to work out the flaws, to run seamlessly from start to finish. I feel that they will have difficulty running straight through and there is going be stopping even in the real show.
