» NY Times reviewer Jason Zinoman walks out of a show at the Fringe before it's over.
That’s just appauling. Yeah, you’re right, Zinoman, you have no right to be reviewing a show you didn’t see all ofWhat’s worse is that he probably saw it for free.
On the other hand, that show probably was awful.
Come on. The guy’s a professional reviewer. He knows when a show isn’t gonna get better. I think as long as he clearly states that he didn’t stay, he’s on firm ethical ground.
Though, as usual, I agree with ZZZLLL (who I don’t know, but I seem to reblog a lot) - if he saw it for free, the least he can do is stay. Or shut up. There should be some comps clause, that if you’re not going to stay, you forefeit the right to be bitchy about the show.
