What notable shows did you MISS? Dec 22
2024, 04:51:06 PM
Anything Goes was one I should have checked out, but I didn't think it was a must-see. My mistake.
Sunset Boulevard in the 90s would have been great.
Thoroughly Modern Millie.
War Paint.
And definitely the Hello Dolly revival.

Ana was great when I saw her too. Everything I read online made her sound unsuccessful in the part, but she got plenty of laughs throughout. Was pleasant surprised!

Speaking of disappointment, it is really not cool to quote me in #2388 and then after my single comment, add a bunch of comments that are not from me. Now someone could construe everything else came from me when you cut, paste, and combined things into one post
In reply to me you acknowledge your tone and language in your post #2351 may have provoked some of the responses you

Your original comment/post has the dashed off rhythm and tone of a troll-like post. Had your criticisms been expressed in the more measured and thought-out manner of your subsequent posts, you might have initially received a different response.

Fair enough, but do I have to constantly speak like Julie Andrews to be worthy of basic respect? Th

I have to agree with you here. I thought the lead performances were incredibly tame compared to how sparkling and alive the roles are played on Broadway. Andbefore anyonewants to fight me on this and say it’s a movie, it is still a Broadway musical, and I wish it had more of that Broadway quality in its leads

They are absolutely not doing that, because they would only stand to taint their mystique and hurt their Oscar chances...and they wouldn't be sufficiently coddled either.
No way is this happening.

I'm chuckling here because I'm not looking to fight or be disapproving. I've gotten two dismissive responses and....I thought we were here to discuss our viewpoints in detail. As people who know and enjoy the material.
I'm quite honestly asking for a response to the points I brought up. If you care to counter my criticisms, that would be welcomed.

It isn't a trainwreck or anything, but it's hardly Oscar worthy.

Eyes at Tammy Faye
I'm sorry what now...??!
I don’t know if they were also at the first preview, but at the opening of Tammy Faye, everyone received a pair of sunglasses with her eyes printed on the lenses
Ahhh okay. LOL

I realize she'll probably be nominated, but I sincerely hope Nicole S does not win for what she's doing in Sunset.
I hope I'm not alone in that.

A shame. But I suppose the show has proven it doesn't need names to turn a profit.

Booo. I never got to see Xanadu live and was excited at the thought of hearing her fun take on ONJ. Her vocals were perfect in that show.
Wonder why she'd shy away from it?

A three show day? Sep 30
2024, 10:06:11 PM
"Many years ago, the best 3 show day was seeing a matinee of "Grey Gardens" with Christine E, evening show of "110 in the Shade" with Audra Mc, and Linda Eder at Feinsteins."
Wow! That's a heck of a whirlwind.
I've done 2 show days but honestly I found I wasn't adequately energized for it....like I couldn't really soak up the shows as fully as I wanted to.
It's better in theory.

Ugh.
