Hey, mrkringas, good for you. You see, it's important to expend energy on current events. Like I said, theater is entertainment and the state of the country is not. If everyone on BWW spends as much time debating our country's vulnerabilities as they do on reviewing theatrical productions then we are in good shape. Simply, that's my point. (Hi Megan!)God Bless America!

Oasis, you are right, Dreamgirls was the exception to the advertising fiasco of the Prince. That's one show. I'm talking about Bright Lights Big City. No advertising, period. The cast deserves much better. Why put together such a great cast, have them work their butts off for 90 minutes and not bother to advertise? I don't get it.

snowie, keep handing out those flyers. I work in center city. I'll look for a flyer. The Prince should be ashamed that they have such an incredibly talented cast and such a great production (with the sound flaw and the lack of revealing exactly what "coma baby" and "Mary O'Brien" have to do with the story for those who don't know going into the show)and not advertising in a widely distributed newspaper. It's not fair to the cast that work so hard to play to what could be a full house if more ...

Hey,Jazzysuite82, it's just entertainment. Brecht may disagree. That's okay. Life is more complicated than theater reviews.

Seriously, enough. Everybody is entitled to their opinion. And, as much as I love theater, it's just entertainment. Get worked up over something more important. Do you spend this much time discussing our fragile sense of security? You should.

I saw it Friday night and thought it was great. The audience was not nearly as energetic as Bway audiences but I think they didn't know when to clap. The sound needs alot of work but the performers gave their all especially Jeremy. The songs are difficult to sing and he was almost flawless. I might see it again. It apparently is closing early because of poor ticket sales. That's too bad but the Prince has terrible marketing and advertising. There isn't even a mention of it in the Philadelphia...

You have too much time on your hands. Do you get this enraged about things that really matter in life?

You can actually buy the DVD of the performance. It's amazing. I think I got it form Amazon or Overstock.com, I forget but I got it about two months ago. You'll love it. Donna Murphy's performance is really moving.

Saw the Matinee yesterday and was totally entertained. It was really funny and Stephen Lynch was a natural. The entire cast came out and mingled with the crowd for a long time. The had their picture taken with all who asked and signed autographs. We actually had quite a conversation with Stephen and Laura. It was lots of fun.

Jason: I have seen Rent maybe 10 times and will probably see it several more times. I see most musicals at least twice. What's the problem with people returning to shows if it makes them happy? Isn't that what Broadway is all about,entertainment? As far as oops moments making the cast giggle, you need to relax. Life is far from perfect and a cast giggling is something incidental. Remember audiences understand things might go wrong during a live performance. If you are so structured and stiff,...

Seriously? Julia Roberts? That is just way to big of a stretch to even consider.

I loved Nine but Evita is my favorite. Hope they bring it back soon.

Adam Pascal is on Nitebeat in Philadelphia CN8. He sang Glory and now is singing something from his new album. He sounds great and looks even better.

I wrote to Sh-K Boom and asked them to seriously consider recording I Love You Because. Maybe if everyone emails Sh-K Boom they will record it. I hope so cause I love the music and Colin Hanlon especially. The entire cast (small as it is) is outstanding.

I love you because would be my first choice but both are worth seeing.

Hey theaterkook, why the sarcasm? Does it make you feel like some genius of theater to put people down. Why don't you use your energy on something really important. Seriously, soundtrack or whatever, don't be pathetic.

I saw it last year at the George Street theater with Colin Hanlon who is presently in I Love you Because off-broadway which is adorable and should not be missed. The Last Five Years is amazing and original and the music is addictive. I would love to see it again so if anyone knows where it is playing let me know.

Just buy it. IT is amazing and it is really sad that the show didn't make it. I listen to it all the time and I saw the show which I loved even though I didn't see Maria in it. Like every other show it was not for everyone but the music is beautiful.

Sure. Don't be so naive.

DRS, Woman in White, and definitely, I Love you Because. Also Altar Boyz was amusing.
