i'm still glad actors are working and audiences are enjoying the show..but i felt it lacked strong and committed performances and to a point of cheap when it came to the elements. i.e. lighting, set etc.
felt like a fractured story trying to recover. but again.only my opinion and everyone has their own taste. i mean come on everyone iknow hated sweeney and the critics seem to love it.

I found the color purple padantic and remedial in both lyrics and score. the acting was fine enough but the evening never really seemed to move the audience. i am sure i am being overly critical and thats ok.its only my opinion and i am glad audiences are seeing it and enjoying it.

The production is very very good. Solid performancs, great costumes, great set, engaging through every moment. The simplicity of the show is what makes it so great. I have to check, but there seem to have been some cuts in dialouge...felt choppy in a couple of places, but that could just be me, and i really hated the lighting. it tried to hard to be subtle and only made you wonder if anything was going on.

NYdirector:
although years doesnt always infere better..the experience, even in the worst directors does infere some learning and some blanket of understanding. CENSORSHIP. no i did not say that or infere it..and you can stop putting words in my mouth or posting for that matter. i never said they should stop. i said i didnt think it was necessary. there will always be an audience for this type of work and freedom of speech is protected by law..and i would never ever in any way shape or form

actually no. NYdirector. i didnt see this one twice. it was clear tome that the concept and script were remedial along with the acting. i dont go to theatre to get my jollies and you should respect quantitiy because in many cases quality runs in tandem with it. i dont know who you think you are to jump up on your soap box and assume that i dont know what i am speaking of, but in comparison to someon with two shows under their belt, i think i have some idea what i am looking at...even if, by your

nydirector. i always try to keep an open mind no matter what. i can change my mind.but this show clearly did not. further. if i go see a show and i dont like it. i will go back a second time just in case i was not a good audience member. i am very fair about my viewing habits.

hey blaxx..thanks for being so...kind...i was only stating my opinion. calling me idiotic and assuming i was born in during the flapper years is quite the stretch. but whatever...my question for everyone now is..what did you think of the show. i saw it. and i am curious what others thought. best and worst performances.

If a director/casting director takes time to email you and let you know you arent being considered and why they are trying to help. sending emails that are abusive is not appropriate.

I have to disagree. Perfume...wear it..dont bathe in it.
two: Your audtion begins the minute you submit your headshot and resume
three: i dont want to love you. i want you to love your work and respect the process. i can dislike you and still appreciate that you work your ass off and really pull through.
and my casting issues are not on the shoulders of the actor.they are on my shoulders..if the actor is close to the role..then it is my job to teach/direct and assist them in getting
