"And if you're pulling out the argument that Wild Party wasn't authentic, then you obviously don't know much about the point of the show."
Then why don't you try to explain your statement? What is your reasoning for the other Wild Party having an authentic score? Please explain.

"belt her tits off"
I am using that expression FOREVER! Love it
I wonder if "belt his nuts off" works as well?

Carolee DOES belt her tits off, although it can't totally save the song. It's just not a good song. But she sounds fantastic.
And am I the only one who wonders what David Yazbeck would've and could've done with THE ADDAMS FAMILY had he written the score...? I feel like that kind of twisted humor is right up his alley.

The more I hear/see about the show the less I want to see it. At this point I'm holding on to the performers and some of the songs.
"belt her tits off"
I LOVE this.

I think it looks cute. The music sounded generic but punchy.
I love Lippa's Wild Party so I'm looking forward to seeing this.
And even when Nathan and Bebe are underused, (or misused altogether) they still light up the theater.
Carolee is the icing on the cake.
It won't be a classic, but it looks like an enjoyable evening. And I bet I'll be humming some of the tunes from the OBCR.

Posted: 4/4/10 at 11:44amNo you are not! I COMPLETELY agree! I don't feel When You're an Addams properly sets up the focus of the show...its like here big song and dance number about how weird we are and OH btw Wednesday is in love with a boy from Ohio. I do have to admit I have warmed up to When You're an Addams and love it as a song, but I feel Clandango served the show better.

Posted: 4/4/10 at 4:22pmI like When You're an Addams' tune more than Clandango. In fact it was probably my favorite song in that little video.

Anyone else think that the beginning of the song "Morticia" sounds like "From the Dead" from Lestat?! It's uncanny! And slightly disturbing on a number of levels...
And for what it's worth I do really like the Overture.

Woah! What's with all the slamming of Lippa's looks/oddities? God, he's a writer...mostly out of the public eye. The ONLY justification I can see for punching him in the face is for how smugly he's touting these numbers as if they're some of the best theatre tunes ever.
However, with that being said, I have more reservations about this show than I did before. This is going to be INSANELY controversial, ballsy, and unpopular to say, but with all the comparisons this show has endured to YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN, am I the only one who feels that Mel's score suddenly sounds that much stronger?! At least he understood his intended style, how to throw the audience his audience for a loop, and (most significantly) how to land a JOKE.
Guys can belt their tits off, as well, albeit with far less tit.
...And so, there I was at the stage door for "Equus". The enthused avalanche of "Harry Potter" fans was literally pushing me into the barricades. As I was thrust face-first into Daniel Radcliffe's hat, I suddenly felt the thumb of a lanky gentleman behind me pressing firmly into my back. It was then that I realized that both of his hands had Playbills, and that both arms were outstretched in front of me...
