Posted: 3/22/08 at 10:28pmMy seats in Phantom were aweful, so that's the only reason. But when I saw it again, it was incredable. In such a huge theater like the Majestic, seats make all the difference.

Posted: 3/23/08 at 12:27amI didn't really care for "Movin' Out" when I saw it a few years ago in Toronto.

Posted: 3/23/08 at 12:35amSaw Mary Poppins in London a couple years ago and was impressed with the sets and with Gavin Lee's performance, but the show truly did not stick with me. Couldn't relive any given moment if I had to.

The Producers the ONLY things I remember about this show was wanting to leave (this was the only show I ever seriously considered leaving during intermission) and the lady next to me sang along to ever single song.
and
Spelling Bee I like this show but looking back I can not remember a single thing about it except that the lobby made me feel like I was in a grade school (which I thought was cool)

Posted: 3/23/08 at 4:09amMost festival shows are forgettable. Rarely they stick with you.

Posted: 3/23/08 at 8:46amThe Crucible with Justine Bateman. That's the only thing I remember about it that she was in it. But then again I slept through most of it so maybe that's why I don't remember it. LoL
Don't believe everything that you hear! Only the peeps involved know the truth!

Little Women The Musical- I'm proud to say I managed to block most of it out, which was pretty easy to do.
Movin' Out- Really can't remember ANYTHING about it, and I only saw it 2 and a half years ago.
Cats- Didn't get it at all. All I remember is the big ass rising tire at the end.
Annie Get Your Gun w/ B. Peters- All I remember are the two kids, I thought they were the best.

Posted: 3/23/08 at 12:00pmWhen I was in middle school there was a show about the history of America, and the sound system was terrible and the actors were not projecting at all, so I couldn't hear a single word. It was sad. I can't seem to remember much of Legally Blonde at all.

No one has said High Fidelity? I got to see that for free, and remember it being a mildly good time, but not much else. I kept thinking that it really wasn't worth a fraction of the ticket price.
I must say, I did listen to the music a couple weeks ago and it is actually growing on me, but the show was still overall pretty forgettable. (Though I still don't believe that it deserved to die the way it did.)

Frankenstein, the musical a must miss!
I went to see this production amidst the longest strike in Broadway’s history. It was Off-Broadway but what attracted me most to see it was that it featured Hunter Foster (Urinetown, Little Shop of Horrors, The Producers) who of course is brother to Sutton Foster. The show was somewhat boring and the music drab. I did however find the performance of Steve Blanchard (Beauty and the Beast) as the monster to be fairly solid. It was interesting to see the monster not dressed in stereotype green face Frankenstein, but rather just a larger man with a base voice and a purposeful twitch. This was a low budget production with a fairly large cast. Scenery utilized video interpretations to save a cost which is probably best since it closed soon after I saw it. Let’s just say that I almost developed the Frankenstein twitch in me as I forced myself to come back for 2nd Act.
Off-Broadway's Frankenstein, directed by Bill Fennelly and based on Mary Shelley's classic novel opened on November 1, 2007 at the 37 Arts Building and closed on December 9 after 25 previews and 45 regular performances.

The Vertical Hour. The play where nothing happens. Bill Nighy was amazing though, so I remember him. But the show itself...bleh
But I'm not clear on how Phantom is a forgettable show. I can understand if someone doesn't like it, but forgettable? How so?

I know I saw "How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying," but I can only remember very hazy moments of it.
However, I was six years old at the time, so I probably shouldn't base that on the show's merits. haha

Posted: 3/24/08 at 9:35pmAll I remember of Lestat is Drew Sarich's wig falling off during the second act. I honestly can't remember anything having to do with the show itself.

Mamma Mia tour in Seattle last week.
I remember having fun but the only big parts I remember were how fabulous Susi Mcmonagle's (Donna) performance was and then meeting her at stage door. She was very friendly. The rest of the cast was forgettable along with the show.
Camelot and Company last year at 5th Avenue Theatre in Seattle
