Nice touch recognizing the connection between Divine's dress in Pink Flamingos and Edna's, Mateo.

Yeah, I'd like to see a Motormouth doll not because I'd buy it but because everyone loves a strong black woman.

re: A revival production that topped the original? Jan 22
2007, 01:43:21 PM
This is nowhere close to the caliber of SWEENEY, CHICAGO, or CABARET but the revival of ROCKY HORROR compared to the original production (granted I couldn't have seen the original) I would say topped it.

re: What did people think about Godspell the movie? Jan 11
2007, 02:07:08 AM
I think Godspell is too "out there" to work for film. I own the movie and enjoy some of the performances but I'd compare it best to Hair: you have to experience it live, it's a theatrical event. In the original production, the cast hung out with the audience during intermission. You need an intermission between the acts in order to transition to the Passion and Resurrection. It's one of my favorite shows (first musical I ever saw at six years old when my church did it) but it's too

Thank you for mentioning this website! I'm a student and my family are clergy/members of armed forces. We might get up to New York more often now.

Once again....did the lesbian play birth and die with THE CHILDREN'S HOUR?

I pretty much agree with what's been said. Roberts and Clayburgh were quite good and Wilson was pretty good (you got to see him in his tighty-whiteys) but the set was the most interesting. The costumes were kind of dull.

What about Stephen Spinella in SPRING AWAKENING? Dec 7
2006, 02:09:24 AM
From the reviews I read posted on the boards, nobody has mentioned Spinella's performance. Reading the lengthy interview that's up on the site made me question this. For those who have seen it, what can be said about Spinella in SPRING AWAKENING?

re: Theatre as Art or Entertainment? Dec 7
2006, 01:50:01 AM
From wikipedia.com:
Art is an application of human creativity that has some form of appreciative value, usually on the basis of aesthetic value or emotional impact. Much about art is controversial, including what specific cases can be considered such.
You could always argue that art by its nature is entertaining. It is supposed to captivate its viewer(s).

Michael Arden as Peter - BARE
There's something about him that allows him to play a vulnerable and troubled boy really well. Also vocally, he rocks!
