Aww, Sueleen. Did you really rat them out? I mean, obviously they should have gotten permission, but was it really you???

Yeah- I couldn't have said it better myself. Definitely shameless plug....

Oy. Whoever said this is a wonderfully written and acted play either wrote it and acts in it or has never seen it.
This is one of the biggest pieces of crap I've ever seen...and I saw Scott Allan's "Piece" reading so that's saying something.
It's just a vehicle for a fourth rate drag queen to mug to the audience. The only reason you even know she's portraying Judy Garland is because they say so.
It should never have left the duplex with it's cliche topic and overacting. I saw it back at Rose's Turn when the young lead was a fine actor, but even he couldn't help but get sucked in to the pretentious dialogue.
Luckily it won't last long considering even Hairspray can't find an audience anymore.

i collect misguided shows, too bad i didn't see the PIECE reading. However, someone did just send me a DVD of a new play-with-music about rentboys that makes NAKED BOYS SINGING seem like WEST SIDE STORY. It's wicked perverse fun to watch such trainwrecks.

They should really rename St. Luke's, Theatre of Delusion based on the fact of the slew of recent and misguided shows that have played there.

i wanted to see Gold's show because i really like her. And i've heard such mixed things about BINGO...some love it (in various incarnations) and some hate it. i need to see it for myself.
Speaking of Gold, is that other Jewish stand-up show any good (FATHER'S SOMETHING, MOTHER'S SOMETHING, I'M IN THERAPY or whatever)?

Judy and Me, featuring "legendary Garland impersonator Peter Mac"
Lauren Bacall is "legendary". By the videos posted, you are no Lauren Bacall.
the gay play that requires only a heart and humor to enjoy -- regardless of one's own life or lifestyle,
What about brains and courage? (And by "courage" I mean alcohol?)
Director Charles Tolliver and Producer Dr. John Schaefer are currently casting for the lead role...
Mac made his writing/directorial debut with the show under the alias Charles Tolliver.
Why not just say, written, directed and starring Peter Mac/Charles Tolliver.
Is it a coincidence that JOHN is both the name of the Producer/Lover of Mac/Tolliver and the name of the person who joined to tell us how great this show is?
Tickets, ranging in price from $47.50 to $72.50
Are you freaking KIDDING me? Eight shows a week?

Why dont we let time be the judge... only time will tell what happens with this show.
No matter your feelings on whether New York needs this show or not... the message is positive and there is a reason it is being told... the reason is NOT so that Mr. Mac can perform Judy in front of an audience... because he does that regularly anyway.
The point is to give the discussion about homophobia and violence in the schools a platform on a broader level ... but in a creative way.

From a person within the production, the aim has always been to bring this issue to focus with anyone who sees it.
One of my biggest problems with this site and others like it is the needless negativity and harm-wishing that occurs in these types of threads. If the show isnt for you then so be it. But there is no need to be so aggressive in negativity.
Sueleengay you are one of the worst that i have known, if you have done what is implicated in this thread that you have done, i find that absolutely disgusting.

Well, if they didn't get clearance to use the image they should be in trouble. You can't do that. If Sueleen didn't report it someone else would have.

It is funny that you talk of "Come out, whatever you are" and then appear here to promote your show under the guise of a "fan". THAT is shilling.
People here do shows all the time and promote them. Just be honest about who you are and what you are doing or buy a ****ing ad, John.

Totally agree with Sueleen...
This is a chat board where as you even say, people are pricks about shows. If you don't want people's honest opinions about a show that sucks serious a**, then don't come here looking for it...or better yet, don't produce it!

From what I've seen in photos and read, this show looks to be a hot mess. A steamy hot pile of mess.
I love that the "ruby" slippers are now green.
Shameless, shameless, shameless...

SO many people joining the board just to post about this "hot mess" of a show. People are all either haters or lovers...ain't nothin in between. Which says to me they are either the producers or people who've had to deal with the producers.
Oh...and in case anyone was wondering...the cast is Non-Equity. Flame away kids.

Aren't these the same people that were sued for doing that Golden Girls show down in the village a few years back?? You think that would have taught them a thing or two about copyright and ownership haha

Wow. I wonder if there's some excuse one could come up with as to why it makes sense that that slippers are green, you know, after the fact. Something to do with envy or wicked witches ... I dunno I'm still working on it.
