Profile for Mick2

QUOTE Yes, I am still in awe of Hannah Waddingham, Tom Deckman, Christopher Sieber, and Rick Holmes. They were awesome. Yes, they were. And just about every recap I read on Clay's boards attested to the fact. So, while most of the Clay fans probably wouldn't have gone if he weren't there, the whole experience drew lots of them back for many shows. I can't imagine anyone topping those three men, and Tom Deckman is in a league of his own. Those guys gained a ton of new fans among Clay's groupies.

Nice to see there are a few classy posters here. Congratulations to Clay and Jaymes Foster. Welcome to our world, Parker Aiken!

She is wonderful. Absolutely gorgeous and what a voice and presence! She does appear to be about 6'3"

That's some fun footage right there, Cartwheel - thanks. I love the "Broadway spares no expense!" line. And the "even my wig is going gray" one, haha.

HeddaG and Stagefan2, I enjoyed those reviews and glad that you enjoyed the show. : ))

Nah, I ignored it because it was so inaccurate. Clay was neither tentative, withdrawn, nor un-silly in this role. I had to conclude that this so-called reviewer didn't even see the show. But, whoever would like to believe that one, let them have at it. No skin off my nose.

I like this review - except for the fact that she didn't even mention the impressive Mr. Deckman (and didn't know a Menorah from a candelabra).

I agree with that assessment, Mikers. Tom Deckman was so adorable I just wanted to take him home with me. The rest of the cast was fantastic, too. I liked Jonathan Hadary but he just seemed really short to be a king - Clay and Christopher towered over him.

SaraRFan, I have only seen Sara's performance on the internet, but I thought she did a great job. However, if I have to choose, I'd choose Hannah's performance to see again. I think she's prettier, and sings a little better. Just a personal preference - I love Sara's "Callie" character on Grey's, and as I said, I think she did a good job as LOTL as well.

http://movies.msn.com/news/article.aspx?news=302088 Clay Aiken Deftly Acts Supremely Silly Let's clear things up right away: Clay Aiken can handle supremely silly. That's not an inconsiderable talent when you are appearing in something as daffy as "Monty Python's Spamalot," the madcap medieval musical that has just added the "American Idol" alum to its cast. We knew Aiken could sing. "Idol," television's favorite trial-by-fire, proved that. So it was only natural that Broadway, eager for new ...

Complete and utter bull****. I didn't just fall off the turnip truck.

I think anyone with half a brain can tell who the trouble makers are. I don't know why you'd want to expose yourselves as the hateful beings you are, but what you say only reflects on you, not on Mr. Aiken. I wonder if BWW really approves of those who join just to post like trolls and who tell new members that just want to talk about the show/s to go away if they don't like their nastiness. Somehow, I doubt it.

I loved the first episode. Just about perfect in the "quirky and different" department, for me. I'm crazy about Johnny Lee Miller anyway.

Mythus, how lucky were you!! He does sound like an absolute sweetheart! There is a really cute picture floating around from the stage door last night, of Clay leading the Spamalot fans in a Happy Birthday tribute to Tom, and him hiding his face. It's adorable! Hard to believe he is 29, the same age as Clay. What I wouldn't give to be that light on my feet again! I used to work out 2 hours a day most days, before I became an internet junkie.

BroadwayBabe19, I certainly considered your review to be legitimate. I'm glad I gave it a shot even though I've never been interested in Monty Python because I abhor bathroom humor. For me, if even the potty humor is hilarious, they're doing something right. Also, even though they do gay jokes, Jewish jokes, Christian jokes, you name it - it's not done in a mean spirited way, it's merely very silly and you can't help but laugh. I'd really love to buy a DVD with this cast (I've seen video with...

Of course I can't force a discussion on people, how absurd. Just wishing I could read more reviews. Ah, well, guess I'll mosey on out of here and check back in a few days. Maybe there will be something by then, or maybe this thread will be lost on page 50 by then... : ))

TheatreDiva, I wasn't being either, I was just trying to answer the question to the best of my ability. Can we just try to get along now? I have nothing against anyone, but I dislike all the bickering very much.

I wish EVERYONE could stop being so defensive and paranoid. As I said, BWW seemed to "assign" the number 2 to my screen name. Maybe it's doing it to all the newbies, or it's another weird little glitch or something. I just wish more people would come comment about the show. Good or bad, as long as they are being honest and not unduly biased one way or another.

"Mick2, Kelly2, and Marissa2" I'm seeing a trend... " So it would seem. All I know is I tried to sign on with just Mick but apparently that was already taken. I you assure I don't know Kelly2 or Marissa2 from Adam (Eve? lol) if that's what you're implying. Not that I can see anything wrong with it if I did.

Thanks, TheatreDiva90016. I guess it's OK to try again, then: I think Clay did a very creditable job, even on opening night - and will only improve with time and experience. All three of his British accents were well done, I thought (not that I'm an expert but I've certainly seen enough Jane Austen, Charles Dickens and William Thackeray renditions on PBS to recognize the flow, and have always had a bit of an ear for dialects and accents). He may have been short of perfection on a word here an...
