I left SWEET CHARITY at intermission

That bad?!?!? "Fled the Al Hirschfeld like it was Annatevka"!!! Oh well, I have plenty of other shows on my "to see" list.

I couldn't stand the thought of staying for ACT II when it was in Chicago. I understand you MEF.

That's really disappointing. I was looking forward to it and hoping it would be good. Granted, I have heard some good things and would like to form an opinion for myself, but it's sad that so many people have disliked it.

I posted that when I saw it at Boston!! (well...I wanted to leave but stayed since the elevator scene was funny and I was hopeful). People on this site didn't believe me. Then the whole "it's gone -- it's back again" thing happened and everyone forgot that it really was a bad show!!!
Anyone else see it?

The only reason I made it to intermission was Charlotte d'Amboise. She really, really, tries her best, but she just can't overcome this vapid nightmare of a show.

Imagine it with an actress of less talent.

Interesting. Well as someone said, I got one hour of sleep today and just did an hour's worth of bio homework so I can't remember who, but someoen said "We learn more from bad theatre than we do from good theatre."

Yeah that may be true but it's not worth paying $100 for.

See for yourself.
No one is telling you not to.
By the way the word is through not threw in this context.

Well, at least I know the difference between "threw" and "through".

It's grammar, not grammer.

This seems like one of shows the audiences will either really love or really dislike. I think it will vary.
MEF - I must say. I didn't think SC would be your type of show to begin with.

It's one of my favorite shows, buy it's just a dreadful, misguided production. Student rush is such a blessing, glad I only payed $25 for it.

I'm still a little hesitant to see it. Because if I do I'd want to see it for this week so I could see Charlotte (whom I absolutely adore) and because I like the score. I'm not a fan of the book (I only like Neil Simon's books to PROMISES, PROMISES and LITTLE ME) so I'd go with an open mind towards everything else. But I still don't know yet...

Is the SHOW "hell on earth" or the PRODUCTION? You could see the most brilliant production of LONG DAY'S JOURNEY INTO NIGHT ever staged, but if you hate the play to begin with, it won't make much difference...

In my opinion it's this production.
I liked the last Broadway revival and the film.

Well I don't like Sweet Charity. I never have. Yet, I liked it when I saw it today. Is it the best show I've ever seen? Far from it. I will say though that Denis O'Hare was fantastic. On top of that Charlotte d'Amboise blew me away, I love that woman.
