I'm bumping this bc I'm planning on going to the Wednesday matinee next week and was wondering what time I should get there?

bump

what time do you usually suggest for sun?

Holliday was AWFUL. She made Hudson look even more amazing than she already is! I don't understand how anyone can think she wasn't anything but horrendous- my roommates and I were like cracking up because she sounded so bad. I know she was great back in the day but come ON, she does not have it anymore.

soooooo excited!

seriously? get over yourself.

husk_charmer- thanks :) I'm bumping this just in case there is someone out there who hasn't seen it yet who might be able to give me some more input.

I can't believe those kids are in high school- I'm in college and I think Amneris looks older than me!

I'm not surprised that the show is getting bad reviews, but I am surprised that Stephanie is getting trashed. When I saw the production in Chicago, I thought she absolutely lit up the stage with her presence. I hope the other reviews give her more credit- I really thought she was fabulous, and her voice is amazing.

Am I the only one who DID see the George/Izzie thing coming? I mean come on guys- she was so upset with him for marrying Callie. She was like obsessed with him. I mean I thought it was weird but... people fall for weird people. And Izzie is particularly vulnerable right now. As for Callie, my heart breaks for the scene that is to come. She is going to be so destroyed. Ugh. I hate George now. He has stomped all over her. Callie is going to have to leave him... she better leave him. She deserve...

In the quote that Wendla sings that keeps getting brought up, I always took the line "So let that be my story" to be what she wants OTHERS to say about her... so it doesn't necessarily mean that she believes it herself.

are you kidding me?

She's playing Shug? I saw her in Aida, and that was pretty much a disaster. When I saw her name I was hoping she would be playing Nettie- I think she is much more suited for that role... eek.

did anyone happen to see the promo on thurs for next week? my vcr cut off and didn't record it.

I have to say that, I am still wishing for the best, but I fear that the critics are going to tear this show apart, and it's going to flop. Which is sooooo disappointing to me. I saw it in Chicago and I really, really loved aspects of it... I really believe it has so much potential. I wish they hadn't rushed to New York and taken another year to fix it... really, really fix it. Big time. That being said, I personally think the attack on accents is shallow. I understand if the plot isn't well-...

So? That's not the point. The point is that he says that London blockbusters are coming to an end, and Mary Poppins IS a London blockbuster, and thus is an example of how his argument is flawed! It makes no difference that it also has other affiliates attached to it.

Actually, yes it does. He said that "British blockbuster" days are over, but Mary Poppins is very much a "British blockbuster" that is doing well.

I would hardly call that a "major flaw" ...

haha, I'm sorry, I was being harsh and/or melodramatic. I did enjoy the performances given by the actors and some of the songs... but can see why it wasn't as big of a success as ALW's others.

"Webber couldn't run Woman in White," Yeah. Because it sucked. It had nothing to do with the fact that it came from London. And what about Mary Poppins? That came from London, is not a revival and is doing pretty darn well. Last week it was at 99.8% capacity. Basically, your theory doesn't make any sense. Shows are going to do well solely depending on how good they are... not where they come from.
