I adored her work in "Caroline, or Change." Some of the absolute best I'd ever seen in a show. I was baffled when she lost the Tony.
However, her antics on Facebook have led me to not care for her. The day after the Newtown shootings she thought it was appropriate to post a long diatribe about mass murders are always white men, blah, blah, blah. It seemed inappropriate, insensitive, and racist.

Am I the only person who hated FELA!? Apr 18

I find bigotry and misogyny and homophobia exciting and wonderful, too.

SHOWGIRLS THE MUSICAL! Apr 17

I auditioned for this. The script is actually kind of funny. I mean, it's so absurd (is there any other way to go with it), but funny.
I won't be seeing it because I still have a sour-grape mentality about shows that don't hire me. I find it very difficult to part with money for a show that rejected me. lol

Would I ruffle feathers if I posted comment about Jeremy Jordan and Smash? Apr 14

I, too, think he has a bright future ... not because of his talent, though. Definitely because of his looks and probably his agent.

Theaterfan, you make a great point; however, that would imply that "Smash" makes ANY kind of sense. It is so out of the realm of realism (even for TV) it drives me nuts.

Huh, I think Hilty made the transition from stage to screen effortlessly. To each his/her own, I guess.
Maybe Jorden and Tviet (or however you spell his name) would benefit greatly from Acting for the Camera classes.

I'm sure you're not the only person who hated it. I wouldn't even consider seeing it. How/why there would be a musical produced about an ignorant, chauvinistic, homophobic, and sexist individual is beyond me. Would anyone on this board be quick to flock to (and praise) a musical about a racist?

To the original poster: You'll learn that on this board, you simply can not win so don't try. Post what you want to post, where you want to post it, whenever you want to post it. If I didn't want to look at it, I simply avoid the tread.
Also, I couldn't agree more!!! He's horrible!!!!!!!!!! It makes me wonder how many blow jobs he's given to land where he is. Not bad to look at, but yowza! Highly, highly overrated.

Barbara-Ann didn't deserve the role; she got it because Chita is her aunt ...
I'm totally kidding, I don't know this person at all. :P

Has the Broadway Baritone died? Apr 9
2013, 01:47:02 PM
Well said ChairinMain; I noticed a few on Newintown's list as not REALLY being baritone roles (not an attack on you Newintown). As a baritone, I see some of those but then I see where some of those characters have to go, vocally, and I'm like, "Um, no. NOT baritone territory."
I played Lockstock and loved the role; sat really well in my voice and even though he touches a G, he doesn't SIT up there.

Men HAVE to sing the high notes nowadays. Altos have a rough time, too but I feel like all men have to have an Elphaba-like range to get work. I feel like every role for a man is the equivalent to what Elphaba is to women ... it's very frustrating!

It was definitely added/created for Chita. I just did a regional production of "Bye Bye Birdie" a few months back and there was never a question of cutting it. :)

Aaron Tveit One-Man Show Apr 2

Ugh, just ugh ...
Another pretty faced, overrated "actor/singer" with an obnoxious fan base. I will be skipping this one.
Also, I hope he's since watched himself in "Les Mis" and has gotten with some Acting for the Camera classes.

Orlando Bloom & Condola Rashad to star in Romeo&Juliet Revival on Broadway Apr 1

This is so gimmick-y and wrong and desperate. Neither of these people should be cast in this production.

The different between what Laurents would say and what I say is that I know my opinion is just that; my opinion. He spoke as if his word were fact and law. :P
