"I love this!!!! You really capture something about the characters and the time. The formality and also the lightness of letters from a battlefield.... using details from the show, all really great. It works particularly well for this…"

Dudley Voigt commented on Madeleine Michelle Bertch's blog post Against All Odds: My Heart Won Over by War Horse"I love the conceit of this review, the dismissal of the "pet genre" and the way you use your own trajectory as structure to convince the reader! You piqued my curiosity with your mention of how they dealt with death. What was…"
Dudley Voigt commented on Lizzie Esposito's blog post War Horse Review-Lizzie Esposito"Your enthusiasm for the heart of this show comes through nicely. Very strong opening and description of the stage in particular. Keep using those specific details to support your opinions, you start to generalize in the second half of…"
Dudley Voigt commented on Elisabeth Anne Zarnoti's blog post Anything Goes: a De La Salle Production"That third paragraph is great. You make a very interesting statement of opinion (and one that feels honest) and then you use all those wonderful details to back it up. Good work."
Dudley Voigt commented on Nicholas Pemberton's blog post A taste of Khajuraho"Drum & Harmonica synching? That's funny.
You capture that awkward tourist/cultural experience perfectly. It's like being a guest in someones house when they aren't great cooks. But they sure are glad you are…"
Dudley Voigt commented on Maia Crews-Erjavec's blog post A Radioactive Experience - Imagine Dragons at the Varsity Theatre"Great details! I feel like I was there. Even though I'm not familiar with Imagine Dragons, I really take away a clear sense of the show you saw."
Dudley Voigt commented on Maia Crews-Erjavec's blog post Man-Eating Plant at Patrick Henry High School"I saw the show and agree with most of what you said. You took a sensitive and appropriate approach to evaluating your peers."
Dudley Voigt commented on Elizabeth Rinde's blog post And Now for Something Completely Broadway"I hear your complaints, but I ask you - did it work? It's ridiculous, no doubt, but did it do what it set out to do? "
Dudley Voigt commented on Anna Berger's blog post Spamalot, A marvel or dissapointment?"Why do you think they had those two worlds, the medieval and the Vegas? Do you think they were supposed to relate to each other? Don't be afraid to have one or two main points and then use the details and descriptions that support…"
Dudley Voigt commented on Grace Peterson's blog post Spamalot: Once In Every Few Decades, There Comes A Show Like This"Very balanced review. While it's clear you have an affection for the show, you manage to highlight both it's strengths and weaknesses without turning the reader off. Nice job."
Dudley Voigt commented on Rebecca Tincher's blog post Spamalot"Nice! Your details are so strong and clearly written, they bring a lot of strength to this review."
Dudley Voigt commented on Lizzie Esposito's blog post The Show Without Jews"Very interesting take on the show. You set up your argument very well. In fact, I think your specific focus and thesis helped you discern only the most important details that would support your opinions. Very well organized review."
Dudley Voigt commented on Maxwell Singer's blog post Run Away"I found comments like "this show felt forced and greedy" very intriguing and the last half of your review gives me a very thought-provoking analysis. However, I don't know that the first part (with the most detail) sets that up…"
Dudley Voigt commented on Nicholas Pemberton's blog post Lot-A-Spam"It's clear you have great affection for Monty Python and were not the only one in the audience! Thought for sure you would reference your Dad and how hard he was laughing! Interesting comments about the set, I like the South Park…"
Dudley Voigt commented on Emma Dalen's blog post This Vegetarian Enjoyed The Spam A Lot""My fourth favorite musical?" That's hilarious praise. While you give a thorough review, you never explicitly explain what it's your 4th favorite? I wonder how it would have worked if that had been a through line you…"
Dudley Voigt commented on Justice Craig Harrison's blog post Ni on Impossible to Resist: Spamalot"Sounds like this show was a healing experience for you. Perhaps even renewed your faith in Musical Theatre? Or encourage you to have faith in the form? Or at least optimism for what else will get trucked through Minneapolis?…"
