I Saw the GLORY DAYS run through today and...

Anyone else predicting:
Passing Strange
In The Heights
Xanadu
Glory Days?

Oh for God's sake lighten up, Shesa.
Since when is there a "proper" time to post a review?
If it's good it's good whether it's a rehearsal, a preview, or a performance.
Easy there slugger.

Glad you liked it stephen3! I am so incredibly excited to see this show!

This board is a riot. You saw a run through - which leads me to believe you have some affiliation to the show. I wish the show the best, but give me a break. I agree with the other poster here - can we please wait for a preview? You can start shilling then.

Don't let people here get to you. For what it's worth, I liked reading what you had to say, even if what you saw was just a run-through rehearsal.

Oh please. If you'd come on this board saying "This is the most horrible show I'd ever seen!" everyone would be jumping down your throat saying that they'd barely started rehearsal. Just because your review is positive, doesn't change the fact that it's incredibly rude to sit in on a rehearsal of a show and share your opinions with the world. Reviews of gypsy runs are bad enough - this is a whole new level.

And I'll say it again - I'm more excited for this show than anyone. I begged my friends to drive me down to Signature and none did, and now a friend is closely involved. I wish nothing but the best for it.

I heard the show is good too based on a run through. . . from stephen3 who "has no involvement in the show, but [his] boss is one of the investors . . ."

Stephen, are the boys hot? I'll bet they are HOT. Do they take their shirts off? Which one is the gay character? Do you think Clay would be good in this show? I do.

stephen3, write whatever you want here. Good or Bad. That's what its here for!
No matter what you write, someone is bound to respond-they always do!

YEAH! How dare someone post a positive reaction to viewing a run-through of a show that has already had an out-of-town run complete with reviews and will open with very few changes! Who do you think you are trying to get people interested in seeing a show? Creating positive buzz is shameful, I tell you, SHAMEFUL! Your detailed, layered, obviously professional and spoiler-filled critique of the show, its creators, design team and performers has now ruined the experience for everyone, including all other professional critics who might as well not even show up on press night since it's all been covered already. Don't you know that no one ever knows what happens in a rehearsal? There are no blogs, articles or interviews in which anyone ever states their feelings about a show in any stage of its rehearsals EVER. For this you should be banned from all theatres worldwide and probably thrown in prison for life with Carrot Top as a cell mate and only Slim Jims for food. How will I ever form my own opinion now?

Then comment on its out-of-town tryout, or any other public performance where reviews are expected. If I'm rehearsing, my performance isn't for you yet. REGARDLESS OF THE FACT THAT THE COMMENTS WERE POSITIVE, it's rude to review a private rehearsal.

I give up, though.
