Ten bucks it ends up being really disappointing.
I'm a professional. Whenever something goes wrong on stage, I know how to handle it so no one ever remembers. I flash my %#$&.

$50. I hate to judge something before I see it but I don't have very high hopes. Roundabout does not have a good track record and I think this show can very easily seem very amature-ish and community theater.

Oh god. Let's not turn this into another ridiculous thread like every single other thread.
Let's just keep our minds open instead of bashing the show before we've seen it like we do every other show. Good luck and break a leg on your first preview, cast and crew of BBB!!

There's a distinct difference between being open-minded and deciding that you'll love a show before you've even seen it.
Tonya Pinkins: Then we had a "Lot's Wife" last June that was my personal favorite. I'm still trying to get them to let me sing it at some performance where we get to sing an excerpt that's gone.
Tony Kushner: You can sing it at my funeral.

Who decided they would love the show? Certainly not me. I'm just remaining optimistic instead of tearing it down without any real reason. I'd call that open-minded.
open-minded
Adjective
willing to consider new ideas; unprejudiced
narrow-minded
Adjective
Lacking tolerance, breadth of view, or sympathy; petty

^ I completely agree. I do enjoy the fact that a 13 year old is predicting the fate of a show they have not seen.

I completely agree that CSBroadway is being ridiculous in making such a bold prediction without having seen the show.
I'm certainly hoping for the best (especially with the cast involved,) but at the same time, you can't throw out a word like "unprejudiced" without looking at your comments thus far and thinking you may be a tad bit biased toward having your mind already made up, ColorTheHours.

This is so stupid.
Why is this even an argument? colorthehours isn't saying the show is going to be fantastic, he's saying he has faith in it. Which we all should, considering the great material and enormous talent involved. He's being open-minded about it and keeping a positive attitude. NOTHING wrong with that.
No one can say anything about the show being good OR bad until we see it for ourselves. So let's just wait less than 24 hrs and then you guys can bash it all you want.
I hope the show is good and am staying positive. I won't be there tomorrow but I hope to see it very soon.
