^Agreed. Yes, actors can talk all they want about being challenged and finding moving pieces of theatre, but at the end of the day, you gotta pay the bills... It would be nice if we lived in a country where art for the sake of art was subsidised so no one had to worry about how much money they were making, but we don't. That's why shows like Next to Normal are playing Off-Broadway and shows like Wicked and Young Frankenstein are on Broadway.

My favorite was on the Les Mis tour when Thenardier, during the wedding scene, kicked one of the plates they were trying to steal and the guard guy is supposed to stop it with his foot but it flew into the wings and apparently knocked a bunch of other sutff over because there was this massive crash from backstage. Needless to say the next night, he kicked it slower so the guard could stop it.

Amy Adams is great in Enchanted, but I'm not sure she's got the vocal skill/power to do 8 shows a week...

I really want to see this happen because it would be incredible to see her live in this role, but I don't want it to happen because my bank account can't afford another trip to London for a show...

"As an aside... During the scene where Fredrick's in the room with the Monster, the "Don't open the door no matter WHAT" scene, I was banking on swearing from Roger ... 'cause that's just how he rolls! So, he gets started, "Hey there, handsome, etc., etc." The monster breaks free, and he gets into the, "Get me the HELL OOOOOUUUUT!" He looks away and screams, "OoOoOoOoO!!!!" (timidly) "F**k." I burst out laughing 'cause it wasn't the delivery I expected, and it was just ... y'know, perfect. haha

Favorite part has to be the bit of "The Happy Working Song" about 'so friends, even though you're vermin' I about died laughing so hard. And um, Idina is gorgeous but that hair style for the ball scene was the most hideous thing ever, poor girl.

"Vocally she'd be great, but I don't know if she could pull it off acting-wise."
Interesting, I was actually thinking the exact opposite... Girl's got some acting skills, she's just been cast in some roles that don't show her potential. Watch "Ask the Dust" she's the best actor in that movie.

I really can't see the strike being the "death of Broadway" because there are still too many people out there who support. Could it cause a sort of depression in theatre enthusiasm/attendance? You bet. But just like any economic depression, Broadway will emerge "stronger" in the form of higher ticket prices I predict...

I'm honestly a little upset with all the "the tourists need to stop whining" sentiments around here. I live in Washington state in a small town where most people are farmers and have no idea where "Broadway" is even located. I've been wanting to go to NYC for YEARS, but it's really expensive and my family is not made of money. Had I finally saved enough and planned a trip out there right now to see all these shows I hear so much about, I would be extremely upset and disappointed. Sure I coul

Neither. I do not know Mr. Brooks personally and I feel that makes me incapable of issuing such a decree about his character. When I buy a ticket to the theatre I am paying for an evening of entertainment. I purchased a ticket to this show for $78 in Seattle and felt I received what I had paid for. For some people, that price is too steep, for others, they are willing to pay more. Mr. Brooks' moral integrity has very little to do with what I or anyone else watches onstage.

Hmm, I do not believe I have ever defended Mel Brooks in this conversation. I merely asked how you knew he was a douchebag, but I never said I didn't agree. Perhaps you have assumed that fact based on my request for you to explain your reasoning, but that assumption could indeed be incorrect.
