The recent revival of GYPSY go PRETTY long, towards the end of the first act. I loved the show though! I'm SURE that didnt make sence.lol!
I got pretty "I could care less" at LION KING.lol! I guess after a long day of flying, seeing a show, walking from the Shubert to the New Amsterdam, and seeing another show got me pretty worn out.

Posted: 6/28/05 at 10:27pmmost recently was Wicked. It was my third time seeing it that I kind of spaced out a few times. I really only wanted to see Jenna sing her songs as Elphaba.

Posted: 6/28/05 at 10:27pmThou Shalt Not...checked my watch (something I NEVER do) about ten minutes into the show not knowing where it was going. 50 minutes later, when I knew where it was going (finally) I couldn't care less. My grandmother fell asleep...great band, great cast...what utter trash. Why did Stroman (sp?) do that show? Paying back an old debt I suppose. Don't get wrong, she's brilliant but what the hell?

West Side Story!
Possible the most amazing musical, score wise, but the most boring when its not done properly!

It's funny, because I've never been really bored at a show. Boring or not, I usually try to study what's going on in the scene and figure out why it works, or why it doesn't, or at least try to learn something from the performances. Maybe that's just me.

I'll be honest. I love the Broadway and Canadian cast recording of Phantom of the Opera. I even love the movie, because it was so over-the-top and cheesy.
Unfortunately, I was very bored when I saw it on Broadway last year.
It's a mystery to me.

Posted: 7/4/05 at 1:17pmSuprisingly enough I got terribly bored at a production of 42nd Street. I don't know why... the cast were all very talented dancers but they really couldn't do anything else..
