Clearly "In The Heights " fits right into this category. I also don't think history will be kind to its score either.

With brief explanations:
SOUTH PACIFIC: A+ Spot on perfection for television
CRY-BABY: A Ironically, the only solid performance by a new best musical nominee. The only new show my mother and grandmother want to go see based off of the telecast.
YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN: B+ For all of the negativity surrounding it, it looked funny and Megan knows how to work the small screen
A LITTLE MERMAID: B+ I'm not a fan but every family will be headed th

As a follow up to my last message, what if, just if, Xanadu, PS and ITH split the votes evenly among the Tony voters and then CB slips in there out of nowhere?
OH JOY. Chew on that one - let's start a thread. Just think, hell might freeze over that day too. The Boards will be so fun. We can only hope . . .

"Let us know when they win those nominations, won't you?"
Well, I'm fairly certain that CB will win one for choreography and A Catered Affair will win nothing.
And since pigs are flying according to all of you , maybe it will win the big enchilada. Now that would be a good time, no?

Quiet. What's that sound?
It's all of you cry-babies out there in broadwayworld.com message board land.
I am thrilled that Cry-Baby was nominated for FOUR - YES COUNT THEM - FOUR TONY AWARD NOMINATIONS! Can't wait to see the cast performing (let's hope) "A Little Upset" on the big show. Will blow everybody else away.
Maybe if you all didn't have your panties twisted into such a tight bunch, you might be able to sit back and enjoy a show that is hysterically funny, s

Foster is a big ole' hypocrite. He is a fan of the show so is irked at the glee of the Board in its negative reception, yet I have seen him gloat over bad revioews for shows he dismissed. Glory Days does not belong in a Broadway house. End of story. Move on.

I'm really not trying to be mean spirited. It seems to be a legitimate question even though I know there are a lot of fans of the show.

J,
Why isn't this a legitimate question? There are always threads on this site discussing why or when a show might close, the consequences of a show having low grosses and/or rumors about shows posting closing notices.
The reality here is A Catered Affair is a small show with a limited audience, which has become even more limited given the fact that the show was essentially panned. It seems reasonable to present the question as to whether or not the show can last even through

Based on the majority of negative reviews, just how long do you think the show can last now?

This board is a riot. You saw a run through - which leads me to believe you have some affiliation to the show. I wish the show the best, but give me a break. I agree with the other poster here - can we please wait for a preview? You can start shilling then.

Neddyfrank2, you are a bit naive about the way things work. Within thirty seconds on google I found your birthday (silly posters had a thread in 2006 wishing you a happy birthday on a certain December night) and saw some of your pictures. Is this you with Harvey? Are you friends? Do you have some sort of vested interest in another show? The internet is one powerful medium, no?

This board (or at least thread) is evolving into something very strange indeed.
Neddyfrank: A free piece of advice - the tort of libel is a very slippery slope. You really need to think twice before you post something on a website - as do all of us. In addition, if you think that some piece of software on your computer that "changes" your IP address every time you log on is going to protect your anonymity , you are sadly mistaken. If there is a legal reason for any one to look into

I think the "Jon Stewart generation" actually encompasses people from their teens to their 60s. I meant to articulate the fact that a Jon Stewart type show is new to all of us - thanks to W and his mess. Generation may not be the right word. In any event, I don't think the show needs to be set in present day to appeal to such a mind set.
