Is anyone else disturbed by this review of PIAZZA?

I've never heard anyone talk about the show like this.


PS : This is one of the worst Theatre boards around, if you think people are bad here. Spend a week there. So don't be too suprised. Updated On: 8/23/05 at 11:16 PM

Kelli O'Hara and that Justin Timberlake lookalike did a fine job, both vocally and acting wise. Too bad the characters were dreadfully bland.

Go Kelli and JT!

Further proof of the Disneyfication of Broadway.

I thought this was you talking ljay... I was so confused for a minute.

Insulting Victoria Clark AND Matty Morrison in one review... I don't know what they think that person is playing at.

"The music seems to just wander, as if the writer was unsure where he wanted the song to go, so he just randomly picked a note." Adam Guettel is an amazing composer.

"I really don't hear any complexity in [these lyrics]them whatsoever. Just sappy romantic sonnets" They are called arias, and they are not sappy romantic sonnets.

I am so furious at this person...

I thought the same thing Aigoo...

Donald Duck?!? ... how many Tony's has he won again?

Seriously... I think some people just bash things to start a fight and get a rise out of other people. How on earth is comparing Ms. Clark to Donald Duck an objective point?

This just goes to show that people are clearly crazy...however, don't use the Tony as an excuse...don't forget, Idina Menzel catches LOTS of slack on this board, regardless of her Tony...

Who doesn't catch slack around here? Every single person, probably except for Julie Andrews has gotten a little bit of attitude at this boards... but I don't even think we're THAT bad compared to what was said about Victoria Clark. I just don't think I've never heard it about Victoria Clark or even much about this show... I think that is what surprised me the most.

That message board just like ruined my night. Just goes to show that people are morons.

Sure, everyone's entitled to their own opinion... except when it is THIS wrong!

That Julie Andrews is a no-talent hack.


Gosh, it felt terrible saying that even in jest. Pardon me while I go wash out my mouth.

[TheActr97J]

Posted: 8/23/05 at 11:55pm

How dare you!

Here have a bar of soap!


... I'd like to wash that "Donald Duck" poster's mouth out... well, that's the least of what I'd like to do to him... lol.

ok, i havent seen the show, but that makes me mad. i did however, find a nice post someone posted after that person bashed everything....

"In order to trust in someone's taste, he or she actually has to HAVE some.

No offense, Chucky, dear."

that made me feel a little better. but hmm, the person bashed adam guettels score, and lets see, who won the tony for best score this year?? oh, yeah, ADAM GUETTEL. and who won the tony for best actress?? VICTORIA CLARK. and who were both nominated?? KELLI O'HARA and the "justin timberlake look alike" MATTHEW MORRISON!

some people just dont appreciate good theatre *turns on the beauty is*

EDIT: this is one of the few times i will ever go off on someone like this, i just think they should find SOMETHING good to say rather than insult scores/performances that won tony awards.
there is not liking something, then there is just rude and insulting bashing.

Everyone is entitled to an opinion. I prefered Patti Coenheur's singing as Margaret to Victoria's by a long shot. And yes, I have seen them both live.

were they on something when they wrote this?!

Posted: 8/24/05 at 12:57am

LOL. They are talking about us now on that board.

[YankeesFan175]

Posted: 8/24/05 at 1:00am

haha, that is funny, even though they are criticizing me! i knew they complimented kelli and matty, just felt like throwing them in while my ranting was going on, and just the fact that they compared matty to justin timberlake (id like to hear him try an italian aria) made me throw it in, too, LOL.

"I don't like Sondheim. If he writes something that I like, then I will praise him. But until then, he sucks to me."

But remember Nard your reading comprehension is not good, so maybe that comment is not as ridiculous to those who are older than 14.
My goodness, I was a lot happier before I had ever seen that site.

I would put our collective intellegence (minus a few non-starters Nard and I have been fighting) agaist theirs at any time, and choreograph it to a Sondheim score.

Posted: 8/24/05 at 11:21am

LOL. Read some of the posts now.

That Evan character is a real jackass. He bashes everything, bashes all the members, calls everyone bitches and f*ggots, and is really immature. And you think the mods would do something? No, they don't even delete his posts.

That would NEVER be allowed here.

[freeadmission]

Posted: 8/24/05 at 11:28am

That Evan guy is just vile.

Posted: 8/24/05 at 11:28am

Justin is WAY cuter - and can dance better!

[ljay889]

Posted: 8/24/05 at 11:31am

Yeah. That Evan guy is vile. And the funninest thing is. He always claims to be the best singer, and once he posted clips of himself, and he pretty much sucked.(Well I think it was that Evan) I can't stand people like that.
