“R.U.N.” made dumpster fires cringe.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n“R.U.N.” billed itself as “a living, breathing graphic novel that’s non-stop tire-peeling, fist-flinging and double-crossing action including combat stunts, fast-paced car chases, cutting-edge technology and innovative multimedia.”<\/p>\n
While we obviously feel for the performers who will lose their jobs when the show closes, we have issues with the bullshittery the show tried to pull by encouraging (and possibly paying) people to post glowing reviews to try and stem the avalanche of posts trying to steer people away from this baffling misfire.<\/p>\n
Many of the fake reviews used approved talking points, many along the lines of “People only hate this show because it’s not a typical Cirque show.”<\/p>\n
This delusional assertion was just one of many gross miscalculations made by the show’s producers and creative team.<\/p>\n
The only “confusion” about “R.U.N.” was audience members expecting an entertaining show and, instead, getting one with a bewildering plot, graphic sadism, poorly-executed fight scenes and excruciatingly loud music.<\/p>\n
Or, as reviewer Chris G. put it so eloquently on TripAdvisor, “Makes you embarrassed to be human.” Honorable mention to Troyl H. who wrote, “Getting to leave is the highlight.”<\/p>\n
“R.U.N.” was so bad, we hated it and never even saw it. Here’s a look.<\/p>\n
