Broadway Legend Terrence Mann premiere his NYC Theatre Company -

Is "Legend" a generous term for Mr. Mann? hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

What should we call people like Bert Lahr, Ethel Merman and Bernadette Peters, if "legend" is so casually used?

I don't even consider BP a legend.

Legend, my ass! He's such a zombie in everything that he does. He always seems pained in every performance I have seen him in.

From what I've heard about Mann, what's legendary about him is his reputed "third leg." (Think Boogie Nights.)

Terry is certaintly "well known" in the theater world and among his peers. "Lengendary" is a stretch for me personally. I've enjoyed some of his past works...SP (Chaulvin), B&TB ( Beast), Cats (Rum Tug Tugger) Les Miserables (Javert) but only the early days. His last strut with LM was so pedestrian! Many disappointed Terry fans!

Mr. Mann is marvelous!... A proven talent...but sadly, only when he chooses. I'm sure his program is very good and will do well...if he focuses and markets it competitvely. Again, just my thoughts.

I would never use the term 'Broadway Legend' for Mr. Mann.

However, I certainly would use the term 'Film Legend'.

Anyone who's seen that movie of ACL certainly knows that his and everyone else's performances are LEGENDARY!

He's the cat of the railway train!!!!
