"That would have been a great opening but not happening with those unimaginative producers and Rudin in control.
It's a shame because that's how the show should open ...With Spacey singing....
Hello Tony....Well Hello Tony...it's so nice to have you back where you belong....
Then Bette: Your looking swell Kevin....
"
That sounds great. They could also have Bette open descending that giant Radio City lobby staircase and entering the theater from the back. So many imaginative things they could have done.
"
Dame, Another great idea...why do we all think of these exciting and cute ideas yet we always get some sort of cheesy opening that most of the time does not work.
