I am a member of a theater web site and just look at the email I received. And some of you don't believe there are fake fans around here? This is disgusting.

To: musiXXXX@yahoo.com


Hi:
I saw your name and email on a Yahoo theater fan site and wanted to let you know that BKLYN needs your help!

If you don't know, BKLYN is the hottest, hippest new show to hit Broadway in the last 20 years. When it opens, it will revolutionize musical theater. You, as a theater fan, want to help American musical theater? Don't you?

We are one of the marketing sources for this great new show and we need you to help get the word out to everyone that BKLYN is the ONLY show to see. How can you help?

Get on internet message boards and write continuously about this unbelievable new show. That gets people to start talking and that makes BKLYN a huge hit. And it's all BECAUSE OF YOU!

You can write theads like:
"I can't wait for BKLYN"
"Have you heard about BKLYN? Tell me more!"
"Do you know how to get tickets to BKLYN?"

It doesn't matter if you've seen the show or if you know much about it. Because you love theater, we know you want to make this show BIG! We're counting on YOU to let everyone know that a new era in Broadway is happening. As a marketing source, we can only do so much. But with the help of you and hundreds of other BKLYN friends, we can make Broadway magic happen!

Get out and write! Fill up those message boards! There's no day like today to get the word out. BKLYN depends on you.

Many thanks for your help!

R. Levine and Associates

re: Bad BKLYN

We must go and post this second, it is the only way that the show will succeed, just like Rent and Hairspray and Wicked did!

re: Bad BKLYN

Lol I edited my post but for those who are wondering I said that I was semi-excited about the show but now I dislike it.

re: Bad BKLYN

Brooklyn's publicity is being handled by Boneau/Bryan-Brown. Does anyone know if R. Lavine and Associates even exists?

This is clearly a stupid email for someone to be sending out, but I doubt it's coming from anyone actually associated with the show.

Soon these kiddies will forget Wicked, and worship Brooklyn.

re: Bad BKLYN

re: Bad BKLYN

re: Bad BKLYN

And you know it's not from someone with the show? And you know this how? What is your association? You apparently have some inside info.

re: Bad BKLYN

Dolly, I don't know if the people in this thread are the people that are obsessed with the show. But I wonder why people are obsessed with it. (Also, I love the icon! re: Bad BKLYN)

re: Bad BKLYN

and, please, no "I can't tell you" or "I have a friend" excuse.

Broadway shows are marketed and promoted by several companies, not just one.

re: Bad BKLYN

Reading the first few lines, I thought the email was hilarious, but then it just got downright disturbing. And doesn't it sound like it's written to influence 12 year-olds? Yeesh.

'You can write theads like:
"I can't wait for BKLYN"
"Have you heard about BKLYN? Tell me more!"
"Do you know how to get tickets to BKLYN?"'


I know I've seen some of THOSE before. re: Bad BKLYN

"There's no day like today to get the word out."

Hahaha, I love how they paraphrase Rent to advertise Brooklyn.

But I don't buy this email as really coming from Brooklyn's marketing dept. It's just too pushy ("You, as a theater fan, want to help American musical theater? Don't you?"). Wonder what loon wrote it, though.

re: Bad BKLYN

BlueWizard, everything that you said was what I was thinking as I read the email but then I got sidetracked with Dolly's comment, which I misunderstood, and I'm sorry about that.

I can admit that I am a semi shill. Let me go back and edit adding that I am family to parties involved. That is all I will say until at least wednesday or thursday of this week.

Thank you.
