Cast and crew who were out of work for 18 months and will be unemployed by December 20th are relieved? Are you that dense?"

Nothing more to add!

Same thing with the "f*ck you dress" song. When people are talking about the camp value of this show, they're not talking about the scenes when the audience is supposed to laugh; they're talking about the ones that are supposed to be serious, but end up being funny because of bad lyrics or dialogue. For example, the song where Diana starts singing in Spanish isn't supposed to be humorous, but it is (to me, at least) because it's ridiculous that she starts speaking another language for no good reason, and there's no way the creative team intended it that way.

"

Honestly.. I  don't think this is funny at all     <-- just my opinion on it. 
Many people express their love  with "I LOVE YOU" even though english is a foreign language to them, so I don't think that they meant it to be funny, - I think they wanted to express that D. was still in love with Charles and that she tried to tell him in every way possible...

But my question is: they've always seemed to portray this musical as anything but campy. Is the campiness intentional at the start, or are they just leaning into it now because it's easier to be laughed with than laughed at?"

I can’t believe that people are still discussing this, after watching scenes like J.Hewitt’s appearance?
Is there someone out there who ever thought that this was meant to be serious?"

"I never approached this as a campy show" "That to me is cheap and cheesy, which is something we've worked hard not to make this musical."- Joe DiPietro


To paraphrase Sontag... the best camp is made earnestly, not intentionally."

so what? This guy wrote shows like Toxic Avenger, and you really thought that he will make a musical being all serious??  
And you still think that scenes like the one mentioned above was meant to be serious??

Come on......   
Too funny, that you are STILL quoting this I can't believe that you are still sticking on it!
You forgot to mention how the interview continued and  that he laughed talking about different quotes in his musical. Seen it on video somewhere. 

For sure DiPietro and Bryan tried to tell her story in the most enertaining way from the beginning on, fun but also touching at the right times. 

This is entertainment! And people who are watching musicals want to be entertained! 

It seems to bother you much, that some people don't share your opinion and dare to voice this finally here. 




 

 

The arrogance of certain people here us unbelievable!!!! 

Reading here "this board is here for discussion.." and attacking people with other opinions at the same time..  

This is hilarious!! 

I feel for these people. Showing a behavior like this  they can't have many friends in real world out there.

Kad said: "....Also, worth noting that a substantial number of its positive reviews on Show Score appear to be fake."

haha.. yeah.. sure!  
You guys are just unbelievable... For sure eveything is fake what you don't like.
How could someone forget this?!   

This level is getting too low! You are living in your own reality anyways! 

 

Kad said: "Only five people on this thread saw it last year, and they range from “loved it” to “it’s not great”. "

Plus countless who have been ravjng about it on social media back then. (Reviews have been mostly positive) 

Knowing someone involved I've been following....

...... but I know ... most people here are only interested in negativity,....
