Since a new thread seems to spring up every day on some aspect of GYPSY I thought I could have a thread to review the threads.....
Maybe not.....?

Posted: 3/13/08 at 6:02pmNo I think that distinction belongs to Kristin/Idina in Wicked.
If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

Posted: 3/13/08 at 6:13pmI agree. I think that "honor" belongs to Wicked.

Don't forget LEGALLY BLONDE!
But I think the honor absolutely belongs to WICKED.

Posted: 3/13/08 at 7:50pmAnd don't forget about the strike, that was a threadsuck.
Oh, and I almost forgot to mention...I'm the good cop, he's the bad cop.

Posted: 3/13/08 at 9:05pmI think it's a toss up between Wicked and Rent.

Posted: 3/13/08 at 9:21pmNo, no. There are a million on RENT's closing! Either that, or Wicked.

I dare you to put "wicked" in the search engion.
Have a feeling that the number of posts using the word "wicked" as an adverb will even outnumber the number of GYPSY threads.

Posted: 3/13/08 at 9:34pmIt seems like it, but I agree with Wicked.

Posted: 3/13/08 at 9:36pmI agree with the other ideas.....but Spring Awakening has got to rank up there too.

Posted: 3/13/08 at 9:38pmI love how people who joined in 07/08 are answering this. If you were here around 04/05 you would know the amount if Wicked threads were INSANE.

You should have been around when JANE EYRE was running! The "Eyre-heads" had the board filled with threads about how the show brilliantly depicted Jane's ascent into womanhood.
The there was that never-ending FLOWER DRUM SONG thread!

Posted: 3/13/08 at 10:12pmI wonder if it holds the record for the most revived show on broadway.

The TONY Awards are also discussed in several threads every June.
Still, WICKED takes the prize for being over-discussed.
"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

There's also the Piazza broadcast, which made me feel like I was reading a live blog that I didn't necessarily want to read.

I think my favorites are the NUMEROUS thread on color-blind casting, racism, lack of diversity in theatre, all-race productions, and arguments on how color blind casting effects a certain role.
Anyone remember the threads on a black Shelia, or a black merman sireing a white mermaid with a pale white octopus sister?
PLEASE! Do not post anything negative or dramatic! DidYouReallyHearMe has LOST the ability to ignore such posts and he will comment! Please, help him.

Posted: 3/14/08 at 6:49amwe *TRIED* to establish one specific place for posts, the BAD GIGOLOS thread (like the fandus have their own thread) but everyone ignored it & started their own threads!
