Profile for Peace

Yes withoutatrace, me and my other cast mates were talking about how much fun you looked like you were having, sitting in the front row. Thanks for coming to the show.

I am glad that so many people replied. I'm used to negativity, especially as a performer, but coming from a concert dance background, I was not prepared for...Broadway, at least not the back biting. It has a different type of shadiness than I'm used too. It's that "smile in your face, push you down the steps" sort of shade. And of course I'm in Hot Feet. We had our first preview tonight and it was GREAT! Standing O and all!!!! Hope you can all make it. Peace __________________________________...

But if you haven't seen the show, how can you judge? Yes, if it is a bad show, by all means, get it out of here, but if the show hasn't even hit previews, whose to know how it will solidify itself during the preview process. It may start out a flop, and come out a winner.

Plays, musicals, off-broadway, regional...it's a job. And in this business, getting one is hard and keeping one is harder. I'm new this aspect of the business and I am not used to how vicious people in this business seem to be.

I have been viewing this site for quite awhile, and never responded because I never had the time or the want to respond to what I view as just sheer hating. But I am now a part of this Broadway community and I am trying to understand how people can say and feel such things without even seeing a show. Or why people would wish that their fellow artists would be out of a job. We should be lifting each other up, not putting each other down. Further more, I never said all the people, I said some. ...

I was curious because some of the people who post are so nasty and negative about the shows, almost wishing them failure, that I wanted to know is it criticism or just plain hating due to jealousy?
