I haven't been able to see it yet in NYC because of work, but I'm seeing it in a few weeks and I'm very hopeful. I liked it in La Jolla and hope that it's gotten even better. And I'm glad that people who liked the show started chiming in as much as they are. I kept hearing that audiences were loving it and then I'd read all the negativity on this board and didn't get it.
I wouldn't begrudge anyone a negative opinion, but when the same 6 or 7 people are screaming about a show being the spawn of satan in every single post, I get very suspicious of their agenda. Especially when so many people on this board (including those who didn't think the show was all that great) were confounded by the "worst musical ever" talk. It makes me very happy indeed when positive vibes overcome negative ones. I have friends in the show so I know they are working like crazy to fix the problems that they are very aware of. Broadway can use another hit and I hope Cry-Baby goes from good to great.
If the audience could do better, they'd be up here on stage and I'd be out there watching them. - Ethel Merman
