Do you expect performers to be great 8 shows a week? — Page 8

"You're just bringing more attention to me and I've loving it"

And there you all go.

It's just a handy go-to for the people who keep indulging you to realize that you seem to be incapable of critical thought.

And of course you love it! Negative attention is better than NO attention, right?

Whatever it is you're doing seems to take zero effort.

Cleaning houses is just an everyday chore. Like doing your laundry or washing the dishes. It's part of the routine. How is cleaning more demanding? Showiz is no picnic.

Have fun in the real world darling.

^ Definitely. Especially since she has not posted in days.

And yet you add nothing. I come up with good points, and you all come up with nothing. Sure it sucks to clean your house, but long hours of intense, grueling rehearsals and having to be emotionally, mentally, and physically ready to sing, dance and act every single day is very DEMANDING. You mess up the lyrics or forget your lines for a second, and you get replaced. That's not just demanding, that's nerve-wracking. And it's still less demanding than cleaning? CLEANING? Really??

Of course Being a Broadway Performer is harder than being a teacher! Common sense people.

What do you do for a living? It better not be as demanding as a Broadway performer.

And I could comment on some occupations you mentioned from experience, but I won't because you don't listen or care.

Well, you know, performers are only human, I can certainly understand an off performance, up to a point. I like to think I can tell the difference between a reliable performer who just seems to be having a bad night or is miscast or something (Raul Esparza in LEAP OF FAITH the night I saw it), and somebody who's just walking through the show because it's a matinee (Nathan Lane in the performance of THE FROGS I had the bad luck to endure -- the single laziest performance I've yet witnessed, he was counting the empty seats and screw him for doing it).

I like her argument went from "you people don't know about teaching!" to "you people are teachers so you're biased!"

I'm sure you enjoy dissecting every little thing I say and turn it against me, especially something so harmless like "cleaning is an everyday chore" which is true, actually. But I guess that's an ignorant assumption too, right?

I was never looking for arguments. You guys are just incredibly uptight over the fact that I don't agree with you, so you resort to name-calling like "oh how moronic". And when I keep saying that I disagree and provide reasons as to why I disagree, you claim that I'm a "troll". I came with a conclusion that you guys just can't stand the fact that someone here thinks that being a Broadway performer is tougher/harder than being a teacher or a babysitter, so you all attack me with childish, taunting humor.

But of course, this is something that I should have expected from people like you. I remember when I first joined here. I was a newbie who just asked my first innocent question, and then I suddenly get a cold, sarcastic response for no reason.

People outside of this message board have told me "Don't go there, people there are really rude, pretentious, arrogant and snobby" and I responded with "Oh come on, they can't be that bad.".......

Come on Sue, your repetoire is really, really weak.
