and all I can say is...WTF!

It had some good songs and great singers, but too campy and I'm in shock anyone thought this could be a hit on B'way.

Bet it'll close soon.

Yeah. This one looks like it'll be gone way before the Tony Awards.

I'm not going to lie... I'm kinda shocked you didn't love it.

Too bad for those investors...they could have put their money into a much better show:

With all of that color and movement and everything...

My friend texted me during the show and raved about the colors. Made me want to see it really badly.

Looks like Julie was playing dress-up again.

I love this comment on YouTube posted 2 weeks ago:

"I think this musical will surprise everyone and become huge. Like wicked it got mixed reviews but it already? seems to be building up a fanbase :)"

sad.

^ that is sad I would take Wonderland over Wicked any day though. But I personally would take ANYTHING over Wicked.

There's now a "Save Wonderland" Facebook page.

They should all be buying premium tickets for their extended family instead of wasting time on facebook :P.

I will admit it has a good(ish) score going for it. They need to trim down some of the stupid ballads for the lead, and get rid of the awful plot. Just streamline it. We don't need to meet Lewis Carroll. That was an awful idea and slowed down the play totally. We don't want to be hit over the head with "THIS IS A LESSON" - just show us some pretty colors and sound pretty.

Also, let's talk about the direction. Why did the main door to the apartment open right into the little girls bedroom? That's stupid. I cannot suspend my disbelief for that.

blaxx, stop picking on me! Leave me alone. Get a life. I never did anything to you, what's your problem?

I went to see it because I wanted to see it before it closes...

[Overkill]

Posted: 5/12/11 at 3:31am

I wish I could see it. I love a good bad show every once in a while, and after listening to the music and seeing the clips, I know I would have LOVED this. Eh. Maybe there will be a bootleg soon...

I think it'll probably do better touring and overseas- I think it's a good fit for Taranzuka.

What? Hasn't it been announced that the show is closing this weekend? Or did someone tell me wrong.

I saw it the night after Catch Me If You Can. I found CMIYC quite a big yawn. I found much of Wonderland bordering on spellbinding. As usual Wildhorn tries to make every number the big showstopper, but several really could be, unlike Catch Me, which I found only one number that was a real wow.

I'm a little confused about the comment regarding not being able to get over the door to the apartment being in the girl's bedroom. The whole show is about falling through an elevator which is a rabbit hole into another universe. Once you suspend disbelief, why draw the limit on such a minor non realistic point in a totally non realistic show?

Anyone have any idea as to whether this'll be on TKTS this weekend? I may try & see it before it closes. Not that I think it'll be any good. But mostly to say that I had...

It has been on there all week, and the theater was about half empty when I saw it saw it. Have fun, it's too bad I think if the show had been a little sharper it could have had a nice run.

[folkyboy]

Posted: 5/12/11 at 8:52pm

Thanks! I knew it had been on the boards forever (and was mostly empty). Just was mostly curious if the producers might pull it from the boards now that the world knows what a big stinking flop it truly is. Yay! This makes me excited!

Maybe there will be a bootleg soon...

Maybe two...

A bootleg would be only chance of seeing this show. I'm still upset I won't get to see it
