Is anyone going to see Miranda Sings at Birdland this Monday, the 14th? I'm contemplating getting a ticket . . I'd really like to see her live, I find her videos hilarious. But I don't know if it's the type of thing one goes to alone.
If you go, tell her Byron from Gypsy said hello...
Couldn't find anyone to go with either (for some reason nobody else I know finds her funny) and I think all the general seats are sold out
Yeah, I looked online and it said only "premium" seats available. But if I decide to go, I don't mind paying the extra 10 dollars for one.

I don't find her funny at all. Her act is condescension, not humor.
Well, I guess Yawper won't be joining me there.
My daughter introduced me to Miranda and her voice lesson videos. They are hilarious! She is actually very talented. My daughter loves to imitate her too! She thought she was for real but now she knows it's all an act-which makes it funnier!
For some reason I read that as condensation and got really confused
I think the first few minutes of the first Miranda video you see is quite funny. After that, I can't handle it. Not my thing. People seem to love her.
I think she's hilarious. I laugh out loud watching her alone!

I'll be there! And I'm going alone. I usually end up talking with the person who I'm sitting with so it's not a big deal.
Upon further inspection, I see they have a $10 drink/food minimum. Maybe I won't be going after all. If anyone has an extra "general seating" ticket though, I will reconsider...
I think she is very talented but her shtick is getting old to me
She was at Broadway on Broadway today, so look for a video from that soon. Cheyenne Jackson is her boyfriend!

The schtick is getting old. How much longer can people continue to act like they like her singing. She was funny at the start but it's just overkill now. With the trips to New York, London, & Australia it seems way over produced & think it's going to come around & bite Coleen in the ass.
The concert was hilarious!
She "sang" "All that Jazz", "Chest and Butt" (Dance 10, Looks 3), "A Little Fall of Rain" with Adam Kantor, "I Know it's today" with the two girls from SHREK, the end of "Defying Gravity", like 10 seconds of "What is this feeling" with Natalie Weiss and "As Long As You're Mine" which started out with Ariana Grande and her brother but ended up just being Miranda singing alone. She also gave dancing,singing and acting lessons to some of the kids from BILLY ELLIOT.
I had a great time and ended up sitting with a man who's daughter is in BILLY.

Wish I saw that concert. I need a huge laughing fit!
Miranda is like a great Saturday Live sketch that they are trying to turn into a movie. Her bits are truly funny, but I don't think she should try to cross this over into bigger gigs. I can't imagine watching an entire show of her. I think she should stick to guest appearances and work on another gig.

It was a hilarious show...except for the annoying kid she brought onstage who felt the need to show us his (horrible) impersonation.
..."As Long As You're Mine" which started out with Ariana Grande and her brother...
lol sorry, did this not come across as weird onstage as it reads online? Frankie Grande and his 14 year old sister singing "As Long As You're Mine"?

Thanks Blockhead! Just watched with my daughter and we both loved them. She is hilarious! Thanks for posting- I was hoping you would! Someone needs to get her on Ellen- she would love it! (or Bonnie Hunt because she loves improv)
