Enough Already..........

Posted: 8/24/07 at 10:24am

I have been following the progress of YF and LM. On there out-of town tryouts. Mostly from this board and other sites. I've become increaseing annoyed this week. That some people feel compeled to join. And then post scathing posts about a show. This week alone I have read several. And the Little Mermaid is taking a huge beating. All I ask, PLEASE refrain from all the negativity. They are people just trying to make a Honest living.

Welcome to Show Biz, Kid.

Well I didn't want to get into it, but he's a Satanist. Every full moon he sacrifices 4 puppies to the Dark Lord and smears their blood on his paino. This should help you understand the score for Wicked a little bit more. Tazber's: Reply to Is Stephen Schwartz a Practicing Christian

what a ridiculous comment

People are posting opinions which they are entitled to, if people do not enjoy the shows than they have the right to say so.

Many people have also said they liked the show (which you failed to mention!)

Namo i love u but we get it already....you don't like Madonna

There are just as many glowing reviews by brand spanking new posters...many of these posters are shills. They are trying to sell you piss with ink.

Dont buy it.

Think happy thoughts, children.

There are millions of struggling careers at stake.

And show business is a non-profit housing organization that we should all be grateful to donate our hard-earned cash to, so... please, help keep these unfortunates off the street.

Yeah, right.

Be careful joe5 or Cloris Leachman might challenge you to a fist fight.

All I ask. Is that people write in complete sentences. And maybe use spell check.

Joe,
Please don't forget these are out of town tryouts. I would hope that any criticism would be welcome and allow for all involved to develop a better show for Broadway.

Joe,

Wouldn't you want an honest review of a preview than a planted "rave" trying to hype a show?

I actually agree wholeheartedly but also want to say that out of town tryouts are a time when the kinks are supposed to be being worked out. So, I doubt Mel Brooks is crying over two negative to mixed reviews ... he's probably improving on it as we speak. And I also doubt he was waiting for the Seattle Times to feature an out-and-out rave. When do shows ever get raves out of town? I can't think of many at all... Some have turned it around and gone from completely being panned out of town to being revered and winning Tonys once it came time to hit Broadway. Same thing with the design team for TLM. So, I do, in a way, think it's better that audiences and critics are harder on shows out of town, giving them time to improve and rewrite. I think sometimes they are unnecesarrily mean but there's not much you can do about that.

If they don't want honest feedback and opinons, they probably shouldn't open the previews to the public.

But we all know THAT would be the greater of the two evils, now, don't we???

WickedRocks, I think both The Producers and Hairspray received raves during their out of town tryouts. So much so for The Producers, that they had a huge advance before the show even set foot in NYC.

I knew Hairspray got very positive marks but I wasn't sure about The Producers...besides that though I can't think of many others.

My point is that out of town critics are probably even tougher on shows that Broadway critics because they know there's time for improvement.

In the 80s, My One and Only turned itself around from its panned Boston tryout.
