"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

"At the opening night party, they had clowns on stilts, jugglers, a chocolate fountain, popcorn, hot dogs. [My son] looked at me like I had been holding back. Like, 'This is what you do?' I had to tell him, 'No, no, darling. Opening nights don't usually look like this.' It's usually a dark bar with a bottle of vodka." ?Chitty Chitty Bang Bang's Jan Maxwell

Posted: 1/18/05 at 3:06pmI'm really glad to hear this. Despite mostly negative reviews, I really enjoyed this show. I laughed hysterically the entire time -- Whoopi had the audience in the palm of her hand. While its easy to be jaded and say the show is dated and stale -- it was FUN and FUNNY and what more can you ask for from a show like that. I think the critics just dont feel like shows like this should necessarily always be on Broadway, therefore they get kind of pissy (Honestly, did we need 2525242 solo shows to start the season off).
