" But NEVER at the expense of any stereotype or marginalizing an ethnic or minority group."
I love that Legally Blonde brings up taking advantage of stereotypes is SOOOO wrong. Haha. Let us be realistic. Legally Blonde is NOT that bad. Did you flip out when Avenue Q, The Producers, Wedding Singer, A Chorus Line, Rent appeared? Sorry to break it to you, all use "stereotpes" and they "marginalize ethnic and minority groups". We are all part of some minority, some small group that we

I remember when we watched poto...when the credits (the film vers. mind you) started to roll. They looked at me and simply said.
"Oh..."
lmao...I knew they didnt want to say anything bad assuming I would go crazy....it was the best word to sum up what they felt.

Honestly I know *gasp* a Disney musical...BUT
I am suprised nobody has even added Rafiki from Lion King.
Honestly...You get half a curtain rise, a full audience (from the massively huge dungoen theatre LK plays in) and one note to set the tone of the ENTIRE show.
I give whoever plays the part a lot of credit.
Now this is one of many...but one I felt should be added.

I saw Tina last week. She does not stand out...
I just feel that the main story...the love story is overshadowed by all of the side plots and the minor characters. They are much more entertaining and fun.
But that JMO.

I guess....I mean not that it was horrible or anything.
The Wedding Singer...I guess.
I have loved everything I have seen and this was the only show where I actually yawned and found myself kind of drifting to sleep.

New York Trip...Need some help.

2006, 07:38:23 PM
So I am going to New York Aug. 1-9 and my friends all think Broadway is lame so I am gonna be a lone watcher. I already purchased a ticket for Chicago for Aug 5 the matinee. And I am taking them to see Wicked Thursday night because I figure Wicked is kind of a mainstreem musical that I think non theatre goers would enjoy. But what are the current student rushes. What do you recommend I am 18 year old guy. Thanks.

Hairspray Tour

The Hairspray tour, currently at the Pantages in LA is absolutely amazing. Never have I seen such a flawless cast. Always there is one person who seems to be a bit off but every character was amazingly cast. GO SEE IT. It is worth the money...amazing...amazing.

I live in Orange County..saw the 9:55pm showing. Good audience. Mainly teens and people in their 20s. But i heard sooo much sniffling and crying.

The Gods Love Nubia...the best song in Aida in my opinion. This is not only where Aida gets to shine (aside from Dance of the Robe), but also the cast gets to finally show their chops and characters.
What is huge lackluster borefest it was. Their female parts were lacking. Their Nehebka(misspelling?) was dreadful...sounded like Macy Gray dieing. And their cast lacked the power and raw emotion that is needed to really bring it to a new level.
Aida did an amazing job in the

FCLO Aida Review 10-24

2005, 04:28:47 AM
So I am very tired I am just going to give a quick overview.
Aida: She had an amazing lower register...had such emotion and power...yet everytime she would go for the ending powerful notes (Dance of the Robe, The Gods Love Nubia, Easy as Life) it lacked power. It was missing something. It was on key and everything but it was just missing the chill-factor I really wanted out of her.
Amneris: Completely stole the show away. Her comedic timing was amazing, voice was stunning...She
