Profile for Bette's Turban

Why didn’t the last three Gypsy’s have this problem ?  Scott Rudin would have had this figured out. 

That’s nice.  But it has nothing to do with why this was lousy.  Concepts are great when they work.  You can have a promising concept and stick it as in this case with bad direction , bad casting , bad choreography , and bad everything.

This kind of makes the Robin Williams film look OK."

 No.  Nothing would have made this better.  

All joking aside.. there’s a great little dispensary on the corner of 45 and 9.  Get yourself a 10 mg Sativa gummy and the show will be great.  The subway ride home even better.  Half that audience is already medicated in one way or the other .

So I need to reframe and manage my expectations to enjoy?  Should it be that much work?  Maybe I should just take a gummy before?

No.  That’s why the comparison is stupid and the person referring it to how a performance grows was talking out of their *ss.

Which Bette herself well knows."

Nobody is saying any of that. A comparison, was made to Bette’s first preview in Hello Dolly. A preview in which her performance was pretty much already conceived and already landing beautifully .   Dear God, you people just love to hear yourselves talk.

That is not what that review said."

Yes it is.  It is a good review but it is stupid.  Comparing them to their stage counterparts without acknowledging or comprehension that it is two different things is stupid.   "" steps into the Glinda role originated by Kristin Chenoweth, proving a talented mimic of the Broadway star’s singing style but a slightly stiffer presence on-screen. With her long blond hair and fine porcelain features, Grande nails the Little Miss Perfect dimension of Glinda’s personality, but lacks her idol’s killer comic timing. ""    IT IS SAYING SHE IS STIFF.

Huh? They say she is “stiffer” than Chenoweth (stating she played the role more animated) and that she perfectly “mimics” Chenoweth’s singing style. THAT’S what Variety said."

Yes.  He basically called her stiff.  You read what you want.  And comparing what Idina did on stage to Cynthia in two different mediums in that way is stupid.  I know what I wrote.  But thanks.

While a good review.. the Variety review is stupid.  Comparing Cynthias performance to Ididnas by saying one was big.. HELLO...  one is on the stage the other is on film.  Ugh.

Good.  He is excellent. 

I see posts that Max was out.

You have to go to the box office armed with information.  They already have your money so of course they will exchange you for lesser seats.  Glad you prevailed.  Glad you are waiting for Tom to be back.  Neither understudy seems to be up to par.  

Patti will be on WWHL tomorrow night (Thursday).

Except she didn’t say or imply that.

The whiteness on this board has elevated to puredelusion. It's giving Trump excuses and reasoning. I'm glad Kecia Lewis spoke up and think the heatonMs. LuPone is well earned. This was an opportunity for LuPone to strike up a response. To acknowledge the possible miscommunication "on both sides." To be an example for the "community." Instead, silence. The privilege to walk away.
