Hiya adults...
Still recovering from last night - saw the most horrific, appalling, and offensive show last night: A Chorus Line at a local theater. I think most of you by now know how I feel about this show, and I always find something to like in every production I've seen. I still can't get over last night. I knew I was in trouble when they announced an intermission - mind you, this is a "professional" theater, so that seemed very off place. They didn't have enough men, so Greg and Richie were cut, and Mark was played by a woman who sang Richie's song. And Zach - played by the director - was READING his lines from a clipboard. And not even
trying to hide it. He would follow the script with his finger, and flip the pages. There was NO dancing during the montage - they just stood (or sat) there. I felt terrible for the actors, you could totally see the pain in their eyes. I know it was preview - but it opens today. I can't imagine that much will change, except for hopefully the director learning his lines.
Sorry... had to rant. Can't decide if I'm going to post this on the local board (not bww).
