As someone who actually knew Chablis in passing, if she were alive today, she'd have a **** fit over these costumes.

And as others have already said, she's written here as a one-note character.  

It's sad, actually.

The problem with Wildhorn musicals is that if you don't have voices like Linda Eder's, the show falls flat.

The book is usually....  Lacking.

The lyrics are campy, but questionable.

The voice has to be spectacular enough to make up for all of it.

And Eder's is.

Given how hot it will betomorrow (reaching 92 degrees), I wonder if they'll sell ice cream at the Lyceum? I know in West End it's normal to sell ice cream at the theater but somehow it's not that common on Broadway."
 

Ice cream isn't noisy enough, so probably not.

 

Ugh. Does MR really need him that badly?  Grosses can't be down this much.

He cracks and blows out on his notes:  It's well-known he had frayed vocal chords a number of years back, so I'm wondering why he was put into this in the first place.

BG's atrocious personal history aside, perhaps I'll wait until Eric Anderson is back.  He is a brilliant Zidler.

Oh look, someone else virtue signaling.

Color me bored.

All of it.

Of course I saw Staunton do it live.  I only comment on things I've seen in-person.

She chewed enough scenery to stay full for months.  It was comical, actually.

And her vocal delivery was nothing special.  She's not a belter.

Her Dolly will be...  Very Imelda.  As per usual.

Now that Elt has stopped touring, he might actually take the time to give a **** about this show.

He's capable...  He just has the attention span of dryer lint.

Considering the Marriott just spent 150+ million on a renovation, methinks not.

Real talk:  Please tell me the OP was high when they posted this.

I'm just tired of garbage people.

As a New Yorker, I call them out.  If they don't like it, they can tell me to my face.  They usually don't.

Weak, rude, stupid people pipe down immediately and are usually smart enough to be embarrassed.  

Crazy For You is a not to be missed.  It's superb.

It happened already in the early '90s at EPCOT.  

It was delicious camp.  Absolute garbage, but I still sing some of those awful songs to this day.

*Ragtime OBC enters the chat*

The rake on the Ragtime deck was legendary.  Much worse than what's currently at the Viv.

Marin would tell very funny stories about how steep it was.

I felt fortunate to have seen the show without Bart in London.

Cory English was Doc Brown without all of the Bart ticks.  A lot less annoying. 

He chewed the appropriate amount of scenery.

 

I guess this is fine, but...

Broadway needs to work on policing AUDIENCE members.  One strike, you're out.  No bull****. 

If you put some fear into people with actual, enforceable rules, they'll understand what's expected of them.
