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...
