Jersey Boys.....They stopped the show and replaced JLY!!!!! — Page 5

Chanti--Would you be still bashing the guy's brains out if he didn't win the Tony? If you win a Tony, does that make you superhuman??

JLY's attendance record is no where near 50/50.

What is your agenda? And for someone who thinks we are all immature on here, you seem to did a pretty good job at being a baby in your last post.

LaChanze was on vacation. JLY was sick. He clearly states that he only has to do 7 performances a week. He even says when he is likely to take that one day off. He doesn't always do it. He would love to do the 8 shows.

The ticket buying public has a right to see a show. They see a show. End of story.

Don't forget Drew Sarich going on as Lestat (at intermission) two days before closing when Hugh Panaro was too sick to go on. Sean MacLauglin took over for Sarich as Armand. I would of loved to have seen it, having an actor play one major role in the first act then switching during the second act.

Craig--please take this last one and break it down for him. My brain is literally fried from this.

Thank you Craig, although I am sure it won't suffice with this guy.

I wrote exactly: "I haven't raised one new point TODAY." I thought before I wrote those specific words because I know that everyone wants to argue about the words and what they are "hearing" not about the ideas and sentiments expressed.

Being accused of being inarticulate, employing name calling to avoid sincere debates, implying extremism about your opponent-these are all tried and true techniques of propaganda artists.

Elitism isn't about geography, or one's current location. Elitism can be found anywhere, but it is profoundly acute in the inner sanctum of Manhattan. Probably many of the posters on this board have never had anyone challenge the credibility of an "Tony Award Winning Performer." Probably no one ever questioned why anyone who is a star is not in a show. It is likely that only someone who has played a show in a Broadway Theater, or personally knows the star, knows anything about vocal health.

It's a wonder we can live out here in the hinter lands of the rest of this country. Gosh, golly gee, we rely on Manhattanites to help us define major issues, tell us how to vote, and even when to offer a concern or suggestion about some ridiculous code of behavior at a Broadway House. We even depend upon them to remind us when we are talking about live theater-without these demigods from Manhattan, we wouldn't know the difference.

Well, anyone could chose to answer the issues directly, and one-by-one, but that's too much work. All the answers are simply understood in the elite northeast.......

Chanti--your questions have been answered ad nauseum. Just give it a rest.

I think a last laugh is in order: LOL

Yep, and it's good to know that there are some ture fans out there, not just ones who say they support him and then turn around a say bad things about him.

In THE GOODBYE GIRL, Bernadette was out with a serious illness. Her u/s, Betsy Joslyn replaced her but I could tell that she was also having trouble and was missing notes left and right. During intermission an announcement was made that Joslyn had also taken ill and the "Swing" (I think her name was Karen Hess) went on for the second act--and was brilliant.

How's Dominic in the role?
