help! So I'm reading that GOOD PEOPLE is making 250,000$ a week. But that it's POTENTIAL is 500,000 $ a week. Yet it's selling something like 89 % of it's seats. What gives? is it flopping, or doing well? I can't tell- how do you read these things?

A fun idea might be to rent the Bergman film SMILES OF A SUMMER NIGHT, which it is based on.It's a wonderful film and all the characters and names are the same- a little more explored dramatically. You'll see- she's not a ditz, she's very compassionately drawn.You'll enjoy it, I'm sure.

Go out and rent the original. Or tape it, and just fast forward to KC's scenes.Not only is Broderick doing his usual bland aging Ferris Beuller routine, but some of the shots actually CUT OFF THE DANCERS FEET. Oh my, was this a bad show. Almost worth watching the first 15 minutes of again, just to reaffirm it's bad-ness.Robert Preston owned the role, although Bierko did a pretty good imitation of him.

I didn't mind hiim in Big Fish. I've never really thought of him as a terrific ACTOR, just a great man to LOOK AT!I still regret not seeing Elephant Man. I think I thought it would run and run just because he was in the movies. Just goes to show you. That play closed so fast that I couldn't even get his autograph at the stage door, much to my disappointment.

Loretta Swit? Are you serious?!?

I just heard that Billy Crudup is coming to Broadway to do a new play by that Irish writer wot wrote "Beauty Queen of Lanane".Fantastic!To the naysayers; I know about all his bad points, andI don't care that "Elephant Man" was a big flop that closed early, I don't care that he was fired from "Henry IV", I don't even care that he left dear pregnant Mary Louise Parker for her younger best friend, I love this man's cheekbones and I will come to town to see it!Does anyone know who else is in the ...

It was wonderful. We went to the 9:30 show, and it was big silly fun, and they raised $440,000 for Equity Fights Aids.Some of the numbers were cheesy kitchy, but every once and a while there was such talent on that stage. Over 200 dancers. The guy from Ave Q did a funny bit too.Shirley Jones came out at the end, with Swoozie Kurtz and Patrick Cassidy.Shirley Jones!

Wow. I was totally moved by her version, and think her the best of the bunch (no disrespect to the others).

Actor, I think, is the safest way to go for both sexes.Not to get into the whole possible demeaning gender-fication of it all, but would you say "plumberess", or 'singeress'?

I saw it, and was REALLY glad that I'd read it first- it's thick as a briar patch and twice as dense, and yes- Beale (who is amazing by the way) speaks at the speed of lightning.I'd better stop before the metaphor police haul me in.

It's fantastic, and you must must must see it.

I was there when Jennifer Jason Leigh went there. She had a different last name though, but you could tell she really really wanted it.The camp itself was okay, fun i guess.

I agree.Whomever organizes the Tonys went for crass commercialism in hopes of ratings, getting people up there who really have nothing to do with the theatre community.Part of me hopes that the ratings will be awful, so that the Tony's will perhaps only be broadcast on KCET- which will allow the real actors on Broadway to be a part of it, instead of all these famous ringers.But the circus must go on...

I felt bad for Brian Stokes Mitchell and Laura linney, who were up there looking awkward and a little out of place.I felt sad that Renee, Nicole etc were presenting when there are so many fine actors on Broadway right now that were NOT. I mean, Renee Z??? What on earth has she EVER done on stage? Shameful.Happy that Q won, and Mays etc. But overall, the people I was with kept wanting to turn the channel, and I have to admit- I did too a few times.Ho-hum.

Sadly, STEPFORD WIVES the movie is not very good. Don't waste your time.

That board always seems to be filled with bitter failed actors dancers and photographers, eager to wallow in the negative.Why bother?

I loved it, I saw it last month, I'm thinking about seeing it again.My favorites- Eric Stoltz practically dancing on stage, Peter Scolari REALLY dancing on stage, and Bob Dishy stealing every scene he was in.It was a joy, that show.

I loved this movie, but can't imagine it being done in this day and age on stage anywhere. It's so difficult to do, dance wise, and Finding Namo has a point- it's a little sexist.

And may I say that it's been a long time since I've seen so many straight good looking men on Broadway! Fantastic! (nothing against my gay friends, but a woman can dream, can't she?)
