It's OK to get a bad review. In an event like the Fringe, if you don't piss off at least one person, you're not trying hard enough. As an added bonus, if you write one of those angry letters you'll never send to your critic, you may discover that the review is far too funny to be worth getting upset over.
I actually wrote a semi-profound response to this phenomenon for H a couple of days ago. It's on another computer or I'd just post it here. Let me know if you want me to dig it up. I have also found it comforting to discover that the (supposed) "representative" of the queer press who panned our show (thankfully after seeing it on the last performance) basically disliked anything he saw where the performers were born female. The shows he liked I found shallow and silly and lacking in any risk, whatsoever.
Huh... I was oblivious to all of our bad reviews until your entry inspired me to go to the fringe website (which I hadn't looked at since last week) and then google us... who's the queer press rep La's referring to? I found Pioneer Press and the one on the Fringe website by the guy who said my students were from Central America. Huh.
