ON BAD REVIEWS
Make no mistake, audiences will freely speak their minds and
the angry patron can tell many more people than a satisfied theatergoer, which
is what sites like Yelp are for.
So, I will be completely transparent and admit that despite
the hundreds and hundreds of wonderful letters of references and audience
comments that are posted on our web site, we have had a few bad reviews on Yelp
and the other day, we received a real angry one after getting a copy of an
email sent to the venue where we performed on Saturday December 9.
Let me start by stating that in 1990, Paul Newman was
co-directing a show that I was performing in at The Actors Studio and after
opening night told us: “Look don’t believe the bad reviews…and don’t believe
the good ones either. Just do your work.” That always stuck with me. So even if
a bad review hurts me personally, my first thought is always to follow the late
Mr. Newman’s advice and just move on and continue to work and improve on my
craft.
But “The Killing Kompany” is also a business. Social media
experts argue that today, as a business, we should address each complaint. You
see for public shows (private events are written completely different), I
create new plots all the time and actors will portray characters involved in a
comedy mystery: there is adult content and adult situations and other issues
which may not be appropriate for all ages and tastes. And because our shows are
based upon real crimes, past murders and/or recent headlines, some audience
members may be uncomfortable at some point: as comic actors and writers, we may
push social boundaries with stories and expressions that are normally
unacceptable but hopefully met with laughter and agreement when they are told
on stage. Despite our efforts, some shows work, some don't. Still, whenever a
character in our plot has committed a wrong, we don't make light of it: they
are punished. We don't joke about motives for any crime because there are never
good motives for hurting others. At the
end of a show, you will probably find audience members who loved the show,
wanted pictures taken with us, autographs, want to see more, etc. But if you did not enjoy the show, your
experience is just as valid.
I guess the bottom line is this: whether audiences
"Yelp" us bad or "Yelp" us good, the power of the internet
is strong. I truly believe this person “hated” the show and that’s their right
and privilege. There are even some shows we did which I did not like. I wish
everyone loved us but that’s unrealistic because our shows are not for everyone
and certainly are not like those performed by similar companies, especially due
to our form of interactive participation. According to the venue, this
particular show was raved by everyone but obviously this person did not like it.
We respect that, we feel bad, we are sorry, we wish you had a great time but in
show biz, people like what they like and there's nothing we can do about that…but
know that we did try our best and we will continue to read every review in the
spirit of self-improvement and humility and collectively improve the quality of
the work.
