Shouldn’t you be getting mad at the - even remote - possibility that the vaccine harmed someone we all loved? And storming the bastille to investigate and get justice if it turned out to be true?Why isn’t there a march on for investigating thisthe way there was a march for getting the lights dimmed? Something wrong with that.

There are plenty of documented cases of vaccine harm by n

Or fantastic. Or divisive, like this one. It doesn’t mean people are forbidden from disliking or discussing a production justbecause the writers approved it. Theopinions of the peoplewho see it don’tjust “go out the window.” That makes no sense."

Since it seems that the SUNSET BLVD haters are being severely castigatedon the "Official" SB page, can they all just spew their venom on THIS page?



Spew away!

Hun. Nice try. The Broadway World Troll Hate Group will co

TotallyEffed said: "Matt Rogers said: "My point was that the authors have to approve the production conceptbefore it happens. It’s not like they were not informed of the concept. They were, and they approved it. ALW was at the opening night looking very happy. Ifthe creators of this musical are fine with this concept, then all thegarbage that some on here were posting goes rightfully out the window."


That’s some reallllly creaky logic.<

I don't think this is fair. You don't have to accuse people who dislike this production of being small-minded.

There are people who enjoy conceit and there are people who enjoy sincerity.

It can also be argued that taking people deliberately out of the story is bad directing. Laughing at your leads in the most serious scenes and laughing at serious story lines i

PipingHotPiccolo said: "MusicalGuy3 said: "Mandy is giving her own wonderful/dazzling performance. Wow!"

Audios abound, and Mandy sounds good, but her delivery only confirms the bizarre manner with which Lloyd is directing these ladies. I land on the side of this hurting, undermining, the show as a whole, even if its entertaining as a concert, but to each their own.

Its funny how people insist something is great and "works" and "

CreatureKitchen said: "I think, ultimately, this is a matter of priorities, and what people want the show to prioritize.

Betty being more opportunistic reinforces the bleakness of Hollywood and adds some interest to her character as an individual. But, as I said, it doesn't really gel with her actions in the libretto and her relationship with Joe loses any impact. It also lowers the stakes of the ending and you don't get that glimmer of hope before everything comes

Yes, all the lyrics are about that.

The "direction" is justsidelining the lyrics. And the characters.

You must be right. People have never used love/relationships to get ahead in their career. Or thought they were in love after a one night s

Seb28 said: "Matt Rogers said: "So many idiots here right now, bitching at ushers because they were too stupid to read the disclaimer when they were buying tickets that Mandy Gonzales was playing Norma tonight."

I used to call these people idiots too. Why on earth do they visit a show they have no interest in?

But when a production shows contempt for its own story, asking audiences to not take it seriously and turning it into a celebrity conce

Seb28 said: "CreatureKitchen said: "My point about whether the concept distracts from the material or elevates it is a matter of opinion. I think, for instance, a cardboard cutout of ALW and a person in a monkey suit distract from the lyrics being sung, rather than elevating them."

Secretly we all know exactly (including Matt) that those examples only distract. It's about the reaction on that distraction. There's people who don&#

Seb28 said: "Matt Rogers said: "Because many do not believe this is “trashing the material “. "

I don't think we need to go over this concept again. By now we all know what the concept is.

There are facts happening, likepeople laughingat serious moments (like the Betty scenes) and the shtick during the title song, and the breaking of the 4th wall, and the trashing of the lyrics and story, and the Tik-Tok jokes, and the cardboar
