We're just like everyone else

The review for The Kid by New York Times critic Ben Brantley is in. He says the major message of the show is how normal gay couples are. They act just like straight couples, though with the sex toys left lying about. The same anticipatory jitters, the same sniping, yelling, and reconciliation. Compared to many other families depicted on Broadway, this couple has as much angst as the Brady Bunch. The drawback is that there is a lot less dramatic tension than your average show.
