There is no true passion but criticism

THEATRE REVIEWS: SHOWS SEEN, LOVED AND SHARED

The Web media M La Scène created the LM (« elle aime / she likes ») of the performing arts to help in the choice of shows and outings. This indicator takes into account the interest of the text, the choreography and the show, as well as the quality of the actors’ performances and the richness of the stage effects. It provides a summary rating of theatre and dance reviews on five levels:

  • LM: little
  • LMM: moderately
  • LMMM: well
  • LMMMM: a lot
  • LMMMMM : really
