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 11:58amYes. A recent revival of my favorite musical starring my least favorite diva.
Cheyenne Jackson tickled me. AFTER ordering SoMMS a drink but NOT tickling him, and hanging out with Girly in his dressing room (where he DIDN'T tickle her) but BEFORE we got married. To others. And then he tweeted Boobs. He also tweeted he's good friends with some chick on "The Voice" who just happens to be good friends with Tink's ex. And I'm still married. Oh, and this just in: "Pettiness, spite, malice ....Such ugly emotions... So sad." - After Eight, talking about MEEEEEEEE!!! I'm so honored! :-)

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.
Don't believe everything that you hear! Only the peeps involved know the truth!
