Richard Ouzounian, theatre critic for the Toronto Star, has the first traditional review of the show -- and it's a glowing one

Hmm..... I guess he liked it.

Wow great review! I guess he did like it. Congrats to Cesar and the entire company on a great opening night.

Eyeweekly.com adds another very positive review to the mix for BETM Toronto's opening night show:

A decidedly mixed review by this critic from The National Post, who I think misses the point in a number of ways:

I agree that the reviewer misses the point. I find it interesting that a bona fide theatre critic could be so literal minded. I think, to be honest, that he just wanted to distinguish himself from the pack.

Another excellent review from the Winnipeg Free Press:
