Well, Dearies, another year is coming to a close. Let’s hope 2004 brings world peace and peace to Broadway World. We have had a lot of great threads this year, so in keeping with the critic’s end of year tradition, may I offer my:
”SUELEEN GAY'S TOP TEN THREADS/TOPICS/EVENTS OF 2003” on BroadwayWorld.com.
In no particular order:
HOW WILL PJ EVER GET TICKETS TO GYPSY? Ticket master was being so uncooperative that our little PJ gave us an hour-by-hour account of his long struggle to get tickets to see Bernadette. Some posters were helpful, some annoyed. I believe it prompted one of the many “If you don’t care, don’t read it!” rants of the year. Happy to report that not only did our little PJ get his tickets, he also got to meet Bernie after the show. (See photo in fan photo section)
SHILLS, SHILLS AND MORE SHrILLS! One of the newest and best Broadway message boards became a huge billboard for self-promotion. Everything from TABOO to MY COUSIN WANDA TAKES A DUMP (“The audience was rolling in the aisles with tears streaming down their faces…not from the stench coming from the stage, but from the hilarity issuing from it…for information call …”) was promoted by people who have never posted here before or since. But with the SHILL POLICE on patrol, we were able to smell these hucksters right off the bat.
ELIA KAZAN-SATAN OR ARTISTE EXTRODINAIRE? Upon the death of the great director, we had a lovely chat as to whether you can separate the artist from his actions. No clear victor in that debate, but a good one non-the-less. YOU CAN…you can’t…YOU CAN…you can’t…
SHEEKALA’S HOT ICONS Too hot for some, just a warm up for others. The book BEST OF SHEEKALA’S ICONS is now available at your favorite adult bookstore.
ALBIN VS DOLLYPOP What a feud. No two people have ever been so in love, as his Dollypop and him. Has the term ‘Masking your true feelings” ever been so apropos? We thinks not. So, do a rep tour of TWHM with you know who as Dolly and you know who else as Horace, and TWGM with …well, you get the idea. Just get a room and get it over, already. Jeesh!
A HORSE IS A HORSE OF COURSE OF COURSE. Out to pasture? Or just animorphing into …oh, never mind.
FAMOUS LAST WORDS The “I am through with this board forever…till my next post” posts. Some are gone for good, or at least for now, but some were just having a bad day and decided to stay. How are you feeling, Bronte?
THE SEANY FAN CLUB You know who you are. You know you love him and wish him, well…happiness, success and about five more years!
OLDER/YOUNGER We are all here to share a common interest and I can tell you I was shocked to learn how young some of you are. I have had very intelligent correspondences with a lot of you and had no idea you were all so young. Although the Broadway Nail Polish thread was a new low for this board, I hope we continue to educate and acknowledge and embrace our differences. I am glad for a younger perspective here. But that URINETOWN YELLOW nail polish does nothing for my complexion.
ROBBD’S DEVOTION Robb and Craig and everyone else who helps keep this board so fun and fair and challenging. Bulldog’s quizzes, Patti’s reviews, Anthony’s quirky point of view…
So, what are your favorite memories of 2003?
Happy New Year to all.
