The commenters on this site almost all admit they've never seen any of these shows--but they're willing to judge them based on ignorance.

A stupid, lazy article. "Book of Mormon" is politically correct? Idiocy. "Yank" hasn't opened on Broadway and the name of the show is BILLY Elliott not "Billie". This writer seems to be equating "politically correct" with anything that isn't anti-gay. The sad thing on the comments section as well is that it just gave a lot of people the leeway to post stupid homophobic and racist things.

Jesus.

Great way to highjack a thread. Does anyone remember what the point was? Oh--Patrick Wilson.

Off Broadway is smart. I just don't see it being a success on Broadway but it might squeeze out a run in the village.

Nice is different than good.

Don't know if this will ever happen but he's a good choice for the part.

We should let go of the OCR/Sountrack thing too. It's not important and it just makes you sound like a know it all prig.

As a gay ex-Mormon this sound's pretty great.

I've never heard of this. If done well it's not a bad idea--though I'm always suspicious of shows featuring childen.

I think there are a lot more important things to get upset at.

Mallardo, be honest, how many of your straight friends would want to go see that? I think more gay men would go than straight men.

Most likely she has a contract on Grey's that will make it difficult for her to do any shows with any unlimited run. But, all the time she spends on Grey's will make her more of a draw. I'm sure she'll be back eventually. In the meantime I'd love it if she'd do some concerts or cabaret. I remember he doing a benefit after the actor's strike where she sang Meadowlark and it was possibly the best I've ever heard that difficult song sung.

I saw Ms. Marcovicci do this role in San Francisco and thought she was pretty amazing. I knew the OCR but didn't care for it much beyond it's camp aspects. I still don't think it's a great show but think everyone who can should see this because it's not going to be done much beyond this. It's fascinating to see it--if for no other reason the unconcsious homophobia on display. Chanel could be the subject of a great musical, but this ain't it. Nonetheless, it should be seen by anyone interested...

I'll have to get the Donmar because I love the score--but honestly, in my opinion, the less dialogue on an OCR the better. I get tired of hearing the dialogue over and over and just want to get to the song.

No, not especially.

I have doubts about there being a Broadway revival of this show. As much as I like the score the book problems have never been solved--not just because it moves backwards. There is a problem at the center of the show in that you can't really figure out why everyone is so mad at Franklin Shephard and I've never seen this resolved in any of the revised scripts. The only way I could see this show coming back to Broadway is if a brilliant, scaled down version came from London or something like th...
