a nonsensically long thread that's gotten totally out of hand, I'm starting this one, like it or not.
Regarding the whole Benanti's return, I CANNOT believe this board has carried on about it and that "Iluv" is STILL on a rant about his friendship AS IF, we're discussing some world renowned A-listers familiar to people all the way in China.
You're all discussing Benanti in a way that's nothing short of absurd. She's a Broadway personality with a spotty attendance record (that statment applies to every show she's done), who's got a decent soprano, is extremely delicate both physically and emotionally and seems to have an "issue" showing up after the Tony's if they don't go her way. That's how I see it, nothing more, nothing less and clearly her extended absence did little to hurt sales, if anything, the "girl with the golden hair" has had a seemingly larger nightly audience, perhaps thanks to phantom2's aggressive promotion (and I'm only being slightly sarcastic) but isn't it time we stop treating this woman as if she's the be all end all of Broadway? And ILuv, what you do is only annoying (at least to me) BECAUSE Benanti is NOT somone worth "bragging" about and most of us, don't feel the compulsive need to discuss/stick up for/tout/ our "star" friendships, real OR otherwise.
And yes, I realize I'm talking about "it" yet again, but it needs to be said and no one else has.
