"Broadway's favorite new musical comedy ever."

Any one else notice how Young Frankenstein advertising is looking pretty desperate?

It's not "new"...anymore
and
Based on posts here stating attendance...doesn't appear to be a 'favorite' - people are standing outside looking for cancellations, trying to win a lottery, etc

I also saw a TV ad recently that stated that this was the winner of the best musical followed by "small print" stating the website that took the poll - and that went by faster than I could read.

When I saw it when it was 'new' - it was ok but I don't consider it a favorite either nor a best musical.

I always found this confusing...

They should just get rid of the 'ever'. Or the sentence altogether.

You can't blame them for trying to sell tickets. That's how shows survive.

Does Wicked still call itself new?

In London, I recall seeing somewhere that it's now Wicked: The HIT musical.

I think that statement IS Mel being funny. It blatantly reeks of someone who is trying to over-promote their show (ala Bialystock?), so I wouldn't even try to take it seriously.

It's Mel Brooks. He (and his ego) love hyperbole.

You have your opinion and we have ours!

You haven't seen the show! Your opinion is IRRELEVANT!

you wanna talk about an awful musical.. well just talk about spiderman coming lol that is not going to be great

personally, i saw the show, and i loved it! although, i think that sometimes, it did get a little old, like the cabin scene... it was drawn out too long, but over all, it was great! we watched the movie the day before going to refresh us so we knew the jokes, but they added new stuff which caught you off guard!!!!!! SO FUNNY! when I went, the only person absent from the cast was Megan (thank god!) but everyone was AMAZING, except roger bart... he was just ok, but Sutton and Andrea were AWESOME! but i think Chris deserves the most praise, but it is still a really good show!

I must say that if people are complaining about the farting scene in Shrek just wait until they see the campfire scene in Blazing Saddles.

Wanna be a foster, I was talking about Mel Brooks in general. Everybody seems to be bashing Mel Brooks on here, and i think he is a comical GENIUS! So I was making that statement based on that only. However, I will give you a full developed message when i finally see the show, which i know i will love!
