Bye Rocky. =( — Page 3

ROCKY, for the record, was not "bad". I just felt that the music was a little all over the place in the sense that they all kind of mushed together that if you asked me which I would cut first I couldn't recall for you since they all kind of "read" the same way - which was mediocre, save Margo's (sp?) and the ensemble numbers. It's sad, but I'm sure the show will have some sort of life after Broadway.

"For the record?" Who made you the Broadway record-keeper?

It may mean that to you, but I think that the accepted meaning is "officially and publicly," or "making the facts clear."

If preceded by "My opinion (for the record)," then one can state it's merely emphasizing a personal opinion.

Oh, please. It's hardly the end of any story. And I'll meet your "rude and uncalled for" and raise with "ignorant and idiotic."

Next.

Yes, FishermanBob, I do love the theatre. I'm not ashamed to say that I really enjoyed "Rocky", partly due to the fact that I'm a huge fan of the very talented Andy Karl. I thought his portrayal of Rocky Balboa was so endearing. And, Margo Seibert, in her Broadway debut was wonderful, as well. A show doesn't have to be critically acclaimed to make me happy. Any way, I just got back from seeing "Jersey Boys" (again) with the fabulous, incomparable Joseph Leo Bwarie as Frankie Valli. He and the other cast members were so nice and charming at the stage door. I'm on a "theatre" high right now, so no one can bring me down!

I can't wait for the obligatory "intimate chamber music" version with its "focus on the characters and their relationships". Perhaps it can star puppets by Basil Twist playing the instruments?
