Heidi Chronicles to close? — Page 3

Pinto, I'll skip the stuff easily explained to you by others. You made the absolute statement that "Hogan doesn't think anything makes sense. All producers are stupid and should just produce shows like Wicked and Aladdin" That is patently untrue.

Re making sense: LOL is not qualitatively a Broadway show unless Ms. Fleming could draw enough fans for its limited run in the way that Dame Mirren can. And she can't. It really has no plausible path to success even with ecstatic reviews that most people did not think it will get, plus it has zero chance of reaping whatever minor benefit the Tonys could provide. HTG is a very low cost show that has white heat associated with it: not a slam dunk but at least there is a path that could make it successful. Constellations is a non-profit show so doesn't figure in the analysis. As we have rehearsed before, nothing is a certainty, ever, but astute observers can handicap shows, and none of them are suggesting LOL has a prayer. As we have also rehearsed with you here, it is not sensible to base decisions on hopes and fairy tales.

One more thing: it is wrongheaded to say reviews don't matter. Sometimes they do and sometimes they don't. They will not make people go to see a show they are not interested in, or vice versa, but they certainly do sell tickets to shows about which folks have an open mind.

Why does opening matter if the reviews don't?

Ooooooooook.

"I have a feeling they will get nice reviews, with raves for Fleming and Sills"

Hasn't almost every feeling you have had in your brief, but exhausting time posting here been wrong? Perhaps you should do Fleming a favor and not have any feeling about her at all, maybe it will give her some luck in achieving those rave reviews.

"not at all. The only thing i was wrong about was Honeymoon staying open til the tonys, which they wanted to anyway. Ive been right about everything else."

What have you been right about, exactly?

Dear Philly,

Please go away again. It was a very peaceful few days with you not posting. I and I'm sure the entire BroadwayWorld community will thank you.

Love,

Charlie.

I heard that the play MISERY w/ Bruce Willis may take the Music Box in the fall prior to the musical SHUFFLE ALONG starring Audra McDonald opening in March 2016.

Hogan, do you ever do anything else besides call people out? Or talk about numbers? haha

Philly, I generally don't like to participate in most of the silly arguments on thus board, but one thing I have to agree upon is that you're comments are so annoying and inaccurate that I am getting a headache. Please go home and talk to you're friends about this nonsense instead of needing to express it here.

Many Thanks,

Everyone on this board.

The best solution is for everyone to just put Philly on their IGNORE list. Since that's not going to happen, I have to fully agree with bfreak and quite literally everyone else on this Board. It was so much nicer and more peaceful when he was away for a few days. I'd implore you, Phillypinto, to either stop posting or at least temper what you say and try to use facts to back up your ridiculous claims & assertions. Buh-bye.

Show us your acting skills, please.

Pinto, is it possible you could decide whether reviews matter or not? Because you say AAIP is gonna get bad ones (not so clear to me but you're entitled to guess) but you also say reviews don't matter (they can, in some cases, as I have attempted to explain to you). Which is it?

Yes, I do more than "call people out" but if people are picking on you, perhaps you should examine why: you repeatedly make inane statements that you can't support. Yes, you have a contribution to make to the discussion here, but you undercut the value of almost everything you post by seemingly living in a fantasyland where facts are forbidden. People here have implored you to contribute more meaningfully, but you persist in being a clown instead. And clowns are only cool when used effectively on stage or at the circus, not when trying to have an intelligent conversation. In the end you mostly come off no different than a post pubescent variation of some fossilized posters who insist they "know" things that it is obvious they can't back up.

"I'll tell you what's a fact. The fact that AAIP is gonna get awful reviews. You people don't understand what I say people you don't see or hear me say it. If you were good actors, you would be able to figure out but I guess not. If you dont like me than block me. I'm just trying to have real conversations and everybody jumps on me. If it wasn't me saying the things i do, I bet nobody would give it any thought. You just like bitching at me at this point for everything and that is ridiculous. "

Everyone else on this board seems to be understood fairly easily- why is it you and you alone who is misunderstood time and time again? That suggests not a problem with us, but a problem with you. Start using italicized parentheticals so we know what tone of voice you should be read in.

And you aren't trying to have real conversations. You are just trying to prove something, namely your own knowledge and correctness. People- MANY people- here have tried to engage you. You are never interested in having a real conversation when people disagree with you. You disregard and ignore arguments that you either don't understand or that don't back up whatever you are trying to assert. You seem totally incapable of believing you are not the most knowledgeable one on this forum.

Guess what? There are members here who have been working in the industry since before you were born, members who work in the industry now, and members with a lot more experience than you. Instead of constantly - CONSTANTLY- butting heads and getting defensive when someone points out what you say is incorrect, unsubstantiated, or baseless, maybe try to take a step back, think about what you are being told, try to learn something- and consider expanding your goddamn world view so the reality of life doesn't absolutely destroy you when you graduate.

If it wasn't me saying the things i do, I bet nobody would give it any thought.

Well, obviously.
