That is one awful wig.

Your point?

It's nice to be agreed with.

I heard they're reupholstering the seats, coz Taymor wants them to fit the colour scheme. Better hope the material's good...

Parks your avatar made me lol. Haven't seen that before

It's an amazing film, but musical...don't see that working.

I think they've already put too much money into this not to open.

You twat. This looks like a homage to me?

Ok. I love this show. I've listened through the recording countless times, but admittedly - each time with a score in front of me. Unless the staging was absolutely captivating, I can not imagine myself surviving the show without being able to read through it as well. The chorus numbers are particularly complex. Can anyone explain the finale? Listening to it puts my mind into a spin! Such cacophony. It sounds like hell's boiled over...in a good way...

And as always with Schwartz, if you can't think of a lyric, make words up or repeat them till it's painful. As for Winnie's book. It's pretty unimaginative. The 'jokes' only fly when the actors do them right, and ...

I don't get this thread. Edit: Oh. Assassins. get it. lol

"I wanted black cha cha shoes!" "Daaaawwwwwnnnn...not on christmas...not on christmas..."

Please elaborate Act4ever. Can you at least give SOME positives? Any standouts among the mediocre performances? Design? (I know it's only fringe, but still) Was the material at least somewhat smart. Funny?

Piano/Vocal has the vocal melody in the piano part.

Seeing in sydney too.
