Antonio in CHICAGO is a LIE! — Page 2

Can I just chime in and say one thing? Message boards do NOT have this enormous "power" that you all think they have. NO ONE IN THE REAL *BUSINESS* OF ENTERTAINMENT CARES WHAT'S BEING SAID AT B'WAYWORLD.COM! Stop flattering yourselves SO unabashedly and erroneously. Once again, PERSPECTIVE, people!

Well, I hope that is true, especially in your case, Al Dente, because I am mostly appalled and annoyed at some of the garbage and absurd criticisms that you post sometimes. And most of your comments and posts about Little Shop, for instance, were so exaggerated and taken too far! So, for if only these reasons alone I hope that you are right - But then again, who would care what an annoymous poster like yourself on a message board, who never has anything positive to say, thinks or posts? Yes, some of us need to gain persective indeed.

Thanks to all for their condolances both in this thread and via PM.

CJR, I think you're a little off. WE'RE filling the seats vs. the critics? Um, hardly. WE for the most part get free tickets and WE are about 100 people total. The CRITICS can reach MILLIONS of people will kind words. And they reach REGULAR folks who will actually pay full price to see something of quality. Your focus is definitely off.

The only other thing that I want to say is that even if Al Dente was harsh on Little Shop, he was no harsher than the critics as a whole.

Even if HALF of us paid for seats to a show, I don't think it would fill more than a few rows in an orchestra. You think that keeps a show running?

"Unfortunately, a lot of performers *do* care what's being said here and on other message boards. Probably because we'll say what the critics won't.... and in the end, it's us as fans who filling the theatres night after night and not the critics."

How is that referring to the theater community on a whole?

Why delete the thread? Cause someone doesn't agree with you? What's the point of a message board? I'm hardly attacking you. I haven't said ANYTHING about Roxane Carrasco! :)

I would hate it.

Honey, what are you doing bringing back threads from over a year ago?

Wow, just looked and was going to defend CJR, but noticed it was from WAY back in October 2003!!!

I thought Rob did away with the "theatrenut/Post Production" person.

Anyways, just leave CJR alone. Since I've been posting here, she has done absolutely nothing wrong and is a great contributor to this forum.

Got me all worked up and then I realized how old this thread is.

How unfiar is it that this post got revived
I was starting to get really angry

I'm sorry...but this thread emulates how interesting this place used to be. The personal attacks, the double identities, the rushing to the defense of one of our own, celebrities being dragged through the mud.

It all used to be so...well..fun...in a really twisted way.
