New Poll: Do You Think the Critics Gave BONNIE & CLYDE a Fair Shot?
Dec 17
2011, 01:22:02 AM
As someone DID see the show and actually ENJOYED it, I believe the critics were more or less correct with their criticism. The only comment that some made that I didn't agree with was that Laura and Jeremy had no chemistry b/c their chemistry MADE the show for me. Nevertheless, the show is flawed and to pretend otherwise is ludicrous. Sure, the critics probably came in with low expectations b/c it was Wildhorn but that doesn't give their criticism any less merit or validity. I just hope there is

Why does Clyde get all freaked out after killing a cop when he has already beat his prison rapist with his semi-bare hands?
I wondered that, too, but then I realized that killing a guy who has been brutalizing you for months is a little different, psychologically, then killing a cop in cold blood; I'm sure he was feeling more justified in the former scenario. Lol I never made the "It Don't Mean a Thing..." connection until now; I actually thought there was a musical phase in "The Wor

I saw this yesterday and I thought it was fantastic! Laura and Jeremy have amazing chemistry and their talent shone whether they were together or apart. The book is very strong; I adore everything about Clyde's monologue about what it feels like to kill a man. I actually liked the first preacher's song, but the "Made in America" one was kinda stupid. It took me until the middle of the song to realize what they were trying to say with it and even then I was like "...Oh." Idk I think they could ha

Your favourite orchestrations

I really enjoy the smaller revival orchestration of Sweeney Todd. And I like the movie orchestration of Phantom; it's very full and very lush.

When I saw Phantom on Sunday there were two points when the Asian person behind me was explaining something to her friend. They were brief periods of talking but they were pretty loud about it.

actors you wish would do broadway

I love how half of the of the actors people are suggesting have actually aready BEEN on Braodway/West End. RESEARCH, people! Anyway...
Hugh Laurie said on Jay Leno that he's done enough theater before to know he doesn't want to do a lot of theater, so I guess he's out.
I second Christina Aguilara (*sp?)and Angelica Huston. Emmy Rossum should go no where near Broadway, please, for the sake of the children....

Grr... I this. So much. HBC's voice is very weak (at least, it was in the Corpse Bride movie, which sucked BTW) and I really don't think she can belt out "By the Sea" very well. I mean, really, we have one person with questional singing abilities in a lead, another one is just too much! But, I guess it doesn't matter now, she's been casted and I still see it because it's like the Harry Potter movies: no mtter how crap the last one was, I'll still be there opening weekend of the next one...

I don't know about most fans but in the annoyingness of the fans I'd say:
3.Phantom
2.Rent
1.Wicked
(Note: I am fan of all these shows, just not a fanatical one (is fanatical a word?))

Why did I totally read the thread title as "Audra is Black Black"? Personally, I thought the commercial looked stupid but whatever. And everyone's right, this off-topic. It has NOTHING to do with Broadway.

Also, question for Marc: is Travolta going to be speaking in any sort of character voice? I know some past Ednas have made attempts to imitate Harvey's grogginess, but will Travolta be doing that as well? I'd be curious to know.
Just watch him sound like he did in "Welcome Back Kotter":
Tracy:Mama, I'm a big girl now!
Edna:Up your nose with a rubber hose, Tracy!
