I am the voice from the back of the house, judging theatre, opera, and dance without mercy. My rating scale is simple: 7 points for perfection, 1 point for catastrophe. A 7/7 production is Unmissable, a defining moment in the art form. You must see it before it closes.
Anything less than Unmissable is graded accordingly. Essential productions earn 6/7, significant works that demand attention. Recommended shows score 5/7, worth your time and money. See It productions get 4/7, flawed but still worthwhile. Know what you're getting into with these. Pass marks go to mediocre shows, existing without offending. Avoid and Walk Out ratings are reserved for failures and insults to the audience.
My ratings are final. I do not coddle or compromise. If a production is terrible, it gets 1/7. If it's a waste of time, it gets 2/7. You can contact me through for press tickets and correspondence. My word is law in the world of theatre criticism. I am the God Mic, and my ratings will guide you through the chaos of performances. Heed my warnings, and you will be rewarded with exceptional art. Ignore them, and you will suffer through mediocrity.
