I have watched the movie, about 10 times.
I love the scene that she says something like "I want to take a bubble bath, and I intend not to be disturbed"

Posted: 8/7/07 at 10:18pmNo..it was a great day! I just am tired of everyone being so negative on these message boards. This is not a forum to pick apart and make fun of actors. Especially not Mr. Busch.

um, mr busch makes his living through clever, caustic comments like the ones that pepper this board -- usually wittier than most of ours, to be sure, but essential to his medium.
im kind of done here, but the comment imho was iwell within bounds, for busch and for BWW. you want nice, the mormon visitor's center is on bway and 69th. :P
and i cant WAIT to see this production!!!!!

the comment about mr. busch being too old was totally uncalled for.
i am hardly a mormon. and though mr. busch's witty slurs are common in the plays he writes, i dont think its appropriate.
but like everyone else on these message boards, to slur, to make fun of, to belittle is the rage. Lets talk badly about legally blonde, xanadu, grease, any disney show. lets talk badly about everything and anyone who isnt patti lupone or sondheim.
and of course, say all the bad things you want about me.
i take no offense. happy 16th birthday to most of you.

Ok, I'm gonna have to make a trip to NYC to see this. I love the film and Charles Busch is one of my favorite actors/performers.
I've just gotten into "Oz", and from what I've seen of his guest role during Season 3: love it!

Would Stark Sands repeat his role?
He was hot.
Can't wait to see Busch in those amazing
Bottari/Case Outfits.

Am I the only one whose skin crawls when I watch this man?
I walked out of DMD in LA at intermission because it was SO BAD.
*EDIT* And I had a friend in the cast

That'd be awesome if Stark is in it too but I have a feeling he won't.
And yes, those outfits will get applause.

Posted: 8/8/07 at 7:46amBert, I wasn't being rude. I was being truthful. He is NOT getting any younger and to be honest, the last few things I have seen him in were pretty tired. His schtick is getting rlly old now... Old drag queens do not make a fun evening. And sorry, but its just my opinion.

Mary Martin played PETER PAN. Cathy Rigby STILL plays PETER PAN. Carol Channing still plays Dolly Levi. Yul Brenner was the King of Siam for YEARS.
I can think of COUNTLESS examples of actors who are not the exact age of the
character they are playing.
Its theatre. These people are theatre legends. They transcend age!
ITs very cool that you have an opinion. And yes, this is an open forum to voice your opinion. Its America. Be rude all you want if thats what makes you happy.
