Profile for Bettyboy72

Oh Mary had cast signed posters for $250, Playbills for $100 and Jane was selling her book of sonnets for $500 signed “Knock yourself out, freak! Love, Jane Krakowski” she also said it had her “cheat lines.”There was only one which she should have auctioned but she said it would be with a random volunteer in the lobby. I couldn’t find said volunteer. 
 

Just In Time was selling posters for $300 or $350 and Playbills for $175. For $20 you got

Jane, John Andrew and Cheyenne were my favorite cast so far. I’ve seen Cole and Betty. Jane was less deranged than Cole or Betty but she made it her own. I loved her interpretation. 
 

When I saw Cole and Betty I had a harder time understanding lines and jokes and the audiences loud laughter was stepping all over the dialogue. That didn’t seem to happen here. The audience was wild for the show and laughed their faces off but they didn’t seem as obnoxiou

This was an interesting show. For me, it started out well. It seemed campy and like everyone understood the assignment. It was moving along briskly. The cast was fantastic. Then Jonquil showed up and it got muddy.

Then I started having questions like who is this musical for? Are we supposed to feel anything for these people? What are Jackie’s goals? She’s really a garbage person. The musical didn’t really answer those questions and Jackie was never able to get me on h

I went in never having seen a previous production of Chess and never listening to the entire score. I knew the “hits” from various standards albums. Overall, I had a lovely night. I think the score is sung beautifully with a great orchestra and a stellar cast. Everyone is firing on all cylinders. The score sounds like an old school 80s mega musical which makes me feel warm and sentimental. 
 

If I had to name a Chess champion, it’s Nicholas Christopher.

Autotune takes me right out of movie musicals, especially if they are drama. Stuff like Mamma Mia gets a pass because its fluff. I don't think Lopez can sing and she certainly can't hit or sustain a high note. If her high notes are all blurred and blended she will lose me. She was recently quoted as saying she has more of a voice for Broadway because she grew up singing showtunes around the house. I can't even respond to that. She can't sign on key or on pitch live.

I understand to desire to cash in a legacy like Dolly, Cher, Tina, Donna, etc. However, I truly feel that all a musical can really do is remind the audience that there is no way to capture the magic of the performer. They are set up for disappointment. Especially with someone like Dolly. And there's not going to be any way to please everyone. In the end you end up with something unfocused and lacking power that no one really likes. The Cher Show was a perfect example. It was better in Chi

I’m surprised at all the love for Cox. I’ve seen her in several productions and have yet to hear her sing on key. She’s always flat and caterwauling. Not pleasant. 
 

Im all for non-traditional casting but Alex doesn’t seem glamorous in the ways the role requires. I wonder if Sherie Rene Scott would be interested. I think she’d be great. She’s a great actress and can do camp and serve b*#chy. 

As for the continuing attendan
