An Incident Regarding "The Show" — Page 3

INT. RESTROOM

Mrs. Roxy washes her hands by a Hamilton Fan.

Mrs. Roxy: That was a fun show. Did you enjoy it?

Hamilton Fan: Very much so. Have you seen Hamilton yet?

Mrs. Roxy: That piece of over-hyped trash? I'd rather get hit by a bus than see that.

Hamilton Fan: I loved it. In fact, I saw it three times.

Mrs. Roxy: You must be another one of those idiots who can't think for themselves and have to just go along with the crowd.

Hamilton Fan: Why would you say such a thing?

Mr. Roxy enters.

Mr. Roxy: What's gong on in here?

Mrs. Roxy: That woman attacked me for no good reason.

The End.

Mr Roxy is entitled to defend his wife any way he sees fit. The fact that some of you are ganging up on him speaks more about you than him. He doesn't deserve all this vitrol, merely because he doesn't worship the ground on which "the show" walks on.

The idea that not loving this show will get you attacked here is patently untrue. I don't LOVE it. It's not liking or knowing it and, like Mr. Roxy and Dave19 and AfterEight, making a point of dragging that up at every possible opportunity no matter how irrelevant.

You live in Fantasyland Scary . I make one statement on this thread & crap starts hitting me from every direction.. Kad, check the hundreds of threads re the show and tell me where I posted in them. I stay out of them religiously. Every negative reply here just proves my point. I could say a million times I do not hate it or love it makes no difference. I am out of this thread as I think beating my head against a cement wall might give me more satisfaction than try to get thru to people I do not care about it. Yesterday, it became personal with this verbal attack . This is why I started this thread. Me responding to another attack will just feed the haters. Enjoy yourself guys as I am finished with this thread.

It's because he won't stop beating this dead horse. I don't read the Hamilton threads because I haven't seen it yet I've seen him drag this same story about how much he hates the hype into so many different threads that aren't even about Hamilton.

I am talking about a show on Broadway & the insane hype over it.



No, you're not. You're talking about a nasty lady behaving badly. The show itself has done nothing. And runaway blockbuster hits occur every decade. There is nothing new happening here with regard to Hamilton and fans behaving badly.



For the thousandth time, I do not hate it. I just have no desire to see it.



So you tell us a thousand times.



What I hate is the hype and the rabid fans who take anything less than 2000% adoration of it as reason for immediate execution of said person. Have I made myself clear?



Okay. You should probably avoid all sports, entertainment, politics, religion and living beings,



He doesn't deserve all this vitrol, merely because he doesn't worship the ground on which "the show" walks on.



Nobody's doing that here. But congrats on your Roxy impersonation. He always takes the histrionic response assuming he'll be vilified for his pride in contrary opinions (usually involving pitchforks and usually repeated as often as possible, each time including a histrionic disclaimer). And it's never the reason he's vilified on BWW. If a crazy rude lady attacks his wife regarding her opinion on Hamilton, it has nothing to do with the show or with Roxy's opinion or with any of us here. It has to do with a particular lady who behaved like a lunatic.



In over 50 years of theatergoing, I have never seen such vitriol directed at those who simply do not want to see a show.



That's because you invent the intent of others. I guess the truth doesn't suit your purpose which seems to be to proactively play the victim before anyone says anything. When I was physically assaulted by someone in a bar because I said I wasn't a big fan of Judy Garland, I didn't call her The Woman (like another histrionic member we know), or blame all her fans, or all BWW threads started about her, or those who posted positively on those threads or "over-hyped" her as a performer. I blame only the person who slapped me hard across the face. And if someone else says something nasty to me or about me because I have a different opinion then I call them out as a hypocrite. And I don't whine that people are attacking me over a difference of opinion when they're not.

I learned that one could enjoy Ripcord at a discount and enjoy one's self even more than the show that can't be named. And that, when passing the line into the show that can't be named to see On Your Feet, I could also have the knowledge that I am not caving to the hype and still having a great night out, and on and on...

I don't go into Hamilton threads much, since I saw the show at The Public, loved it, and honestly don't have anything I want to discuss/work out about it. Most of the references I see to Hamilton are Mr. Roxy pitting everything in comparison to it, in some attempt to show how NOT obsessed he is with it, unlike the rest of the sheeple. But one need not have a positive take on something to grow an obsession... clearly.
