For example, I saw Sweeney Todd with Patti LuPone. It's a great show, but the "actress" was terrible!

I guess that happened last week when I went to see Chicago again. I love the show, but Samantha Harris could have been a lot better. I also didn't like her that much before seeing it.
And I also think Marin Mazzie was the worst Lady of the Lake I have ever seen in Spamalot.

Posted: 8/6/09 at 12:12pmI went to Rock of Ages to see Constantine and although he didn't do much for me, I thoroughly enjoyed the production as a whole.

Posted: 8/6/09 at 4:49pmI didn't hate her by any means, but I didn't think Tina Maddigan deserved to be the standby for the lead in a Broadway musical judging by her performance in TWS. I loved the show, though!

Posted: 8/6/09 at 5:59pmI wouldn't say I hated her. I love Next to Normal as a show but don't like Alice all that much.
