Case in point: more reviews are yet to come. So few musicals are as musically original and unique as the Woman in White promises to be. I'm sure those crabby reviewers won't deter audiences from enjoying this piece!

Y'all....i am not a fan of he broadway.com reviewers anymore! I love this show so much! and please justgive the video screen a chance...just because it is something new does nto mean it should be bashed! Mind you manners boys and girls

Aww, the video just makes me want to see it more!

A bearded Glyde...he was in the book I know (or he had a moustache) but I was so used to seeing the London photos where he's clean shaven (and something makes him seem all the more sinister that way).

Jo, no opening night for me on WIW. Too depressing. They spent all day yesterday feverishly trying to fix things for the critics last night. They know they've got trouble and gave it their best shot. I didn't go to Odd Couple either. Next will be Color Purple. The reviews should be pretty good, so at least everyone will be happy.

Cant wait to see it next month! Looks like this one's a hit!

How much of a hit? I hope enough so that it'll have a good run. I know older folks will see it because it's ALW.

Recall a show called The Woman in BLACK? Not white, BLACK. That show has almost no publicity, and has been running in London for 16 years! What does THAT tell you, Vinnie?

And, using qoutes from Elphaba and Theatrediva, you always sound like a whore on crack, and you are obviously a moron.

God, I feel so good right about now.

Laisse nous tranquille, Vinnie, surtout moi et namfug.

Yep... I SAW "Woman in Black"... haha, I guess you could call it a "mistake" for lack of a better word, lol

It is a hot show.

96% filled to capacity is not a success?

TWO reviews from TWO petty sources (you are counting the arbitrary Broadway.com and the childish TalkinBroadway.com as valid and reliable sources???) do not constitute a failure.

Not only am I not a teenager, and not only am I not a fool, I happen to know that the show is a financial success and will continue to draw in audiences.

Judy: I take it you didn't like it very much... I liked the show. A lot. But, we're getting off-topic. Let's hope Woman in White will get good reviews.

ALWrules - they mean that it is a bunch of old ALW songs in a new show (that it isn't original).

[YayJudyYayJudy]

Posted: 11/17/05 at 8:52pm

haha, agreed... off topic.

It's not that I didn't like it, my parents really enjoyed it, it was a couple of years ago and I was just too young I think...


Ok Woman in White... continue...

I must say, the video looks fantastic! So glad to see (based on the quick preview) that the show has actually turned out to be the masterpiece it has promised to be. Congrats to the WIW cast, company, and producers.

Where are these reviews??

Posted: 11/17/05 at 9:36pm

What's taking so long?

There really aren't that many reviews out yet. I know there is one on Broadway.com and one on TalkingBroadway.com. Those two websites aren't exactly the most.....scholarly (?) of sources. But they are reviews nonetheless.

More are certainly on the way.

Not meaning to diss the show in any way, but I think Forbidden Broadway will have a great time spoofing this!

The following song is a spoof of "All for Laura" called, "All Projections."

Here's what I think it will like:

Spinning backrounds,
Making me insane.
Will I ever be sane again?

Acting with,
Every turn they make
Dizziness I can't explain...

All projections... Why couldn't I've known?
I know one thing: I am dizzy now!
We sent away the sets,
The sets that are 3- D
The only sets audiences love
All projections... Right from the start!
They were never in my heart...

All projections... Will this show survive?
With projections... Will this ever thrive?
I'll quit this show and then,
I'll bring a Sharpie pen.
I'll grafitti then, "The show will make you dizzy..."
All projections... Till this show croaks,
till the show drowns in the brooks...
I will somehow learn to be sane...
I WILL LIVE TO GIVE...
This show... Pain!!!!

And the Woman herself going, "I have a secret!" Over and over again!"

So. what do you guys think of my Forbidden Broadway version of "All for Laura" being, "All Projections"?

Wow. You have a lot of time.

Mighten the delayed reviews have something to do with the cancelled press preview? I was under the impression most major critics attended last night after apparently some changes went into the show yesterday afternoon. Am I totally wrong?

[Piazzaslight]

Namfug: You have no idea... I'm just so restless about what the reviews will be like.

I'd love to see a parody of "You Can Get Away With Anything" re: ALW's many successes...

MB --

Vinnie did say that some changes had to be worked into the show before last night's press preview.

Hope the critics are willing to give the show a fair chance
