While I mostly disagree with Oliver's post, everyone is entitled to their own opinions :]
And this: "10. I hate this movie because Johnny Depp's hair looks [expletive deleted] ridiculous. He looks like the late notorious effeminate homosexual Quentin Crisp in drag as the Bride of Frankenstein, or possibly like the lead singer in a punk band. And how exactly does he maintain that hairstyle at sea?" made me laugh really hard. I happen to like the hair, but I do agree with y

I Know It's Been Reviewed Several Times But... (A Chorus Line)

Haven't posted on BWW in a long time and figured a review would be a good place to jump back in. I was fortunate to see A Chorus Line this past Saturday, and it made me remember why I love doing (and seeing) shows (but more about that later).
First of all, the show itself is amazing. I purchased the Cast Recording when it came out as a friend of mine thought I'd enjoy it and I was, as most theatre kids are, familiar with the plot, so I gave it a shot. Even listening to the CD gave me th

I hate LB *runs and hides*.
It makes no sense about who performs and who doesn't. but at least Jersey Boys is good (even though that performance kinda wasn't that good, heh).

And yes, Raul was nominated for Best Leading Actor in a Musical.

So I saw Pirate Queen a couple weeks ago and it was awful. But the dancing and costumes were AMAZING. Actually, the talent was superb. The only thing I hated was the book/score xD. The commerical that just passed makes it look worth seeing- if you like pretty costumes and Stephanie J. Block and good dancing... then go, hee.

Unpopular Opinions You Hold

I hate The Phantom of the Opera- both show and movie. Loved the book though.
I love Wicked.
I agree that Walsh's "The Ladies Who Lunch" is loads better than Stritch's, but I may be biased as I saw Ms. Walsh live.
Cats is the worst musical ever written. It's a bout flippin' cats. Who cares?
The day Disney's High School Musical comes to Broadway is a very sad day for the Great White Way. A very sad day indeed.
I saw Disney's Beauty and the Beast this pa

OBC "Crazy for You" would make my life.
"A Chorus Line"
"Gypsy" with Merman and Angela Lansbury
Joel Grey in "Cabaret" (I think I would die of happiness)
"The Last Five Years"
OBC "Into the Woods"
Honestly though, seeing anything past five-ten years ago would make my life. =]

I've never actually written to someone, although I think it could be fun. If anyone knows where to write to Anthony Rapp it'd be much appreciated. I want to thank him for his book, and tell him how awesome it was. My mom suffered from the same thing his mom had and I want to thank him for writing it. I'm afraid it wouldn't reach him though. Hmmm...

Dancing albino monk...*cracks up laughing*. Poor Silas!
I do admit though, I loved Sideways Stories from Wayside School in the third grade. It rocked. I think The Perks of Being a Wallflower was an excellant novel and I think it could, ifdirected properly, be turned into a play.

I love it. I purchased it after my high school did the show (they did the 2000 revival but my director added some jokes in). I don't know about loving Bless the Lord. It ticks me off, to be frank. I HATE the random operatic/high pitched voice whoever sings it...Shoshanna Bean, I want to say for some reason? I really don't like it. But I like it better than the original, which I had downloaded prior to purchasing the revival, because it didn't have the prolouge. I <3 the prolouge.

re: RENT vs. PRODUCERS

2006, 09:27:43 PM
Rent.
I've seen both (wow guys, what's the point in applying if you haven't seen both movies? -_-') and I enjoyed both of them a lot. I am planning on purchasing them when they come out on DVD so I can watch them over and over again. Rent had it flaws, but it had a 'movie spark' for me. The Producers had a small one, but my preferance was Rent. Loved both though, so picking is hard.

I agree with jimmirae. Personally I want to be a Production Stage Manager on Broadway. Or even Off-Broadway. Anywhere working in NYC is fine. I hope that's the same salary though, hehe. $1422 a week would be amazing. I work on the weekends and I don't think I make that in a year.
