Such a perfect performance to promote the show, brilliant

It was so good!! They should perform this on the thanksgiving day parade! It would be very fitting

LOVE Patrick Page, and love the line about 'more like 75'

IMO, Patrick Page is awesome and brings it, probably the Best & The Strongest performer in the show. And as much as I think the show is mediocre, I am hoping he gets a tony nod, probably deserves it just for sticking it out. LOL! I went to the second preview when they came back from their creative hiatus and was not sure how I liked that number, it is so different then the others. After listened to the Cast recording, it grew on me. And I agree, it is an excellent number to promote the show.

Ok...the Lizard effect...how the heck did they do that?!

Yeah, Paige def. deserves a Tony nom, and honestly this past season, should have won. He's great in the show. And I saw sitting front row and saw the tears rolling down his face. So great!

But that song is awful. Fun performance though!

And I think the lizard effect is done just like blowing up a balloon.

I loved Letterman's comment about the performance being like a party at his mom's house.

This is what the show should have been like. It was actually pretty good.

I loved what Patrick said when entering about breaking in the ed sullivan theater!

I was skeptical about this one, but I actually liked it!

RE: Thanksgiving Day Parade-
I'd bed they'd try to get Bono and The Edge to do another big production number with the cast that isn't as campy.

Y'all actually liked this? Wow.

(FWIW I've seen the show twice.)

I apologize for myself, LizzieCurry

That was a lot of fun, I thought.

Horrible song, but an interesting performance, to say the least. I still have no desire to see it, but I'm happy that it's doing well.

It's so bad it's good. Like that Rebecca Black song Friday.

[RippedMan]

Posted: 7/20/11 at 1:12am

I think the song is just so bad it's bad. I cannot believe it's actually being performed on Broadway 8x a week. But I don't know what other number they'd showcase. "Bouncing Off The Walls" gets boring after about 2 mins. The best part of the show is the underscoring.

[LegallyBroadway2]

Posted: 7/20/11 at 2:54am

I think it's so the opposite of bad :)

It looked like something put together for ComicCon, not for a Broadway musical.

[hotjohn]

Why didn't they perform this on the Tony Awards telecast? Much livelier than the boring number they went with (or maybe the assembled stars would take offence at being referred to as freaks - it's not the Golden Globes after all!)

I haven't seen the play since before this song was put in. Wasn't sure what to make of it when I first heard it, but man I love it now. Probably gets more plays than any other song in my iPod right now, theater or otherwise. So damn catchy!

Posted: 7/21/11 at 10:40pm

Who did that WONDERFUL choreography!! LOL I'm in love, it's like a TERRIBLE So You Think you Can Dance hip hop routine - like one that would get the contestants booted.

Having been a bit of a Marvel geek as a kid, I appreciate seeing actual members (at different times) of the Sinister Six and love the costumes, but I know originally the brand new Swiss miss was justified because the girl Geek Chorus memeber invented her to have a woman villain - I assume now they don't bother explaining why she's not an existing Marvel character? (Doesn't matter I suppose, neither is Arachne, etc)

Um that was interesting. I didn't hate it but it doesn't make me want to see the show.
It just looks like a parody of the actual show. I don't know, I'm not sold. Some of the costumes are pretty impressive though.
