Fate of Legally Blonde: The Search For Elle Woods? — Page 2

I agree 100 percent allofmylife

Its selling more tickets than most shows so it has a big audience out there who love it yet on this site it seems to be the thing to do to knock it down (Yawn)

This show has being closing since its previews according to people on here, every week a new comment is made about the show closing...well it hasn't

The show is pulling in half a million a week (again more than most shows)

Also it would not surprise me if the show moved to another theatre (im not saying it will) but lets be honest they want to keep this show open and the producers are very very smart

I hate to harp but I mentioned before, Alan Jay Lerner actually had a name for people who irrationally wish ill on musicals. Apparently, the same faces would show up time and again out in the audience in New Haven or Boston at the previews for musicals. These same people would then bad mouth the show with the phrase "Well, I saw it in New Haven and...."

Apparently, Fritz Loewe would look around the lobby, see these people and mutter "Well, the Dear SH*Ts are out in full force."

Dear SH*Ts. Love that title. Might make a great name for a show about people who love to hate the theater..."

Mmm, I'm seeing this show again next week with my mom and grandma.. kind of a late mothers day gift. :)

I don't understand why so many hate this show. I love it so much.

I think bashing certain shows makes the little kids on here feel a little better about themselves....sad really

allofmylife, I respect your opinions. Thank you for finally saying what has been left unsaid.

I 100% agree

"I wonder what the casts of shows must feel when a site called Broadwayworld revels in production deathwatches. This type of **** is more appropriate for Perez Hilton or The New York Post."

If the casts of Broadway shows are even taking the time to read our opinions, it should be a warning sign.

I agree with you (to an extent). I can be nasty on this board - I am very opinionated and feel strongly about certain shows on Broadway right now. But I also am happy to discuss and debate and inspect. I do bash, but I bash with evidence and support.

It's all a bit negative but I think many of you also need to develop thicker skin. Many of the posters on here are a bit too sensitive. The internet really has an ability to warp perception, but I find there is a small group of you who are the "victims" - someone's always attacking you. This is not the case.

Allofmylife... very well said, even if I do not agree 100%. I don't think the board is as bad as you are making it out to be though. "Deathwatches" aren't meant to put actors and musicians and stagehands out of business. Some of you don't understand the intentions.

I was out to dinner a few weeks ago and happened to sit next to a table of actors, many of whom I recognized, most of whom have done Broadway. Being a Hollywood eatery, we all ended up talking business. Eventually, we got around to Broadwayworld.com as I was telling them about my "On Your Toes" mega-thread. I was surprised that two of them had already seen it.

Then, of course, we got to one of my favorite subjects on this board, the "Legally Blonde Understudy" thread, with its hundreds of listings. The intricate detail of the discussion on this thread has always amazed me due to its arcane nature.

The upshot is, five of the seven people at the table knew BWW quite well.

You may be more famous than you think.

"I think that once LBB leaves, the show's technical flaws (a script that's about 1/3 as funny as its source material and a score that's terribly repetitive) will start becoming more apparent in the absence of her charisma and charm."

The show already works a lot better without her. All of her understudies have brought a lot more to the role than she ever has.

Actually i know when i was doing a show in London and we were in previews myself and a few others would always have a look on the west end board to see what people were saying, even our director did once (as well as looking on Dress Circle)
