thanks baritone. sorry my somewhat agressive tone. and yes there have been some successful cross gendered castings, but to do it just for the sake of doing it is ..well..i think very insulting to the works of many playwrights and the talents of many very good actors/actresses depending which direction your headed.
in this day an age, we should be teaching actors how to work and be successfull at the craft, not the game.

cross gendered casting..frankly...is just stupid. what does it accomplish. really.. nothing. so i man plays mama rose. who cares. its bad enough we have actors that are not trained, and actors that feel they have the right to try to direct the show. for god sakes keep your hands off the script and do your work as an actor. and for those producers out their that want to make money. find an original work. quit messing with the good stuff. if you are so hell bent on cross gender casting..go home..d

This behavior has gotten completely out of control i went to see a show. to stay un-named and the adults. i mean at 50 years old were ..in the center of the orchestra, slouched down feet up on the seats in front of them.
Although the initial blame lies on bad parenting, bad breeding and just plain stupidity. the ushers should do their jobs. Honestly, its ok to be comfortable..but good grief. some of these people think its a spa. sit up and pay attention you poor excuses for Crap.

i never made comments about people being ignorant or bitchy.
this will be my last commentary to you as you are obviously unwilling to read without an overly agressive and abusive response. take care and enjoy the theatre.

mister matt. i am well acquainted with the musical theatre and have agreat deal of experience in the genre. your snippy commentary about what you think i did or didnt see is unwelcome in the tone it has been presented. if i choose to say i believe it was vacant. I can. If i choose to compare it to the jeffersons..I can. for you to take such a nasty and venemous approach does not encourage feedback on this site. take a step back examine your tone and look inward to see if maybe you are the one w

i have to disagree. caroline was in my opinion self indulgent and to lacked any emotional availability to the audience. if i wanted to watch ashow about a grumpy maid i could watch reruns of the jeffersons..at least that was entertaining.

the plain truth is most audiences are not interested in being challenged a bit to listen to the music or lyrics..they want every show to sound the same, look the same and feel the same..tothem theatre is not a place to learn, to feel, to experience life. it is a complete escape and to some extent thats nice..but the demand by the public has continually been influenced and catered to by the low brow ramblings of critics who tell these semi-ingorants what to think...piazza is not only fresh in sty
