I don't think it's fair to say it didn't have the material. I'm a fan of Anne Rice and her novels are rich and beautiful, but the movies havn't done justice to her writing, and from what I here niether has this show. If it's still open in July when I'm in NY I'll see so I can form my own opinion, but I have a feeling chances of that are slim at best. Other shows that have survived bad reviews(Phantom, Wicked, etc...) I knew people that wakled away loving them, but with Lestat the best I've he

Of course the first time I saw the show I was young and loved the first act, but found the second act boring and nonsensical. The older I got, however, the more it grew on me. Now I have to say that I prefer the the second act to the first. I just find it to be more emotionally resonant.

Thanks InfiniteTheaterFrenzy I was thinking the exact same thing and getting ready to say it then I read your post. The only song I can think of that is overrated is the tittle song from Phantom of the Opera.

The Seacret Garden - a show that I always thought was underrated but is beautifil. The show either need to be huge and epic, or very small and intimate. Nothing inbetween works, thats the problem with community theater productions of the show, they don't have the budget to produce it on an epic scale and I have yet to see a production that has the imagination to make a simple vision work.

If you've never been to Music Circus go it's a fun experience. The show quality varies GREATLY. It really depends on the director. I try to see a few every summer and have seen some of the worst shows of my life there but have also seen my favorite productions of Ragtime and Jesus Christ Superstar there(both had the same director). I put alot on the director because some shows litteraly a person comes out sings a song facing one way turns sing another verse turns finishes it's awful!!! Other

I love aspects of the show hate other aspects of the show,am glad I saw it, but will never see it again. What I loved and hated about it has all basically been said so I wont go into extreme detail. I think Julie Taymore is an extremly visual director. This, like her movies, is beautiful to look at but little more(her movies are stronger due in large part to thier casts). Being nice to look at sells on Broadway thats what non theater people want when they go to the theater. Why else would P

I strongly agree with the people who said Seacret garden. I was about ten when it came out and my uncle bought me the casette(and tickets) for Christmas and it was my favorite.
Another idea that hasn't been mentiond yet though is The Wiz

They're not note for note the same throughout, but the actual phrase Somewhere thats green and Part of your world are the same and I believe it was done intentionally.

Breaking charcter from Patti doesn't really surprise me. If you read her Web she vents about her frustration with the rudness of the audience, this just sounds like the straw that broke the Divas back.

I know it's "unprofesional" to break character like that, but good for them. Make the people who didn't turn off thier phone feel like $#!t!

I know they're a little different but...
Does know one remember the revival of Cabaret? John Doyle is not the first person to have actors playing instruments.

I LOVE your concept for ITW, I think it would be great wheather they play instruments or not.
