This is an extreme move from the theater community. The critics have strong feelings about who should be on stage, thats for sure.
P.S.: I would be glad to see her understudy when I go on Sunday.

I like this article better:

"What kind of person would go on a show where the host is some wise guy who likes to abuse people? Any show with that kind of premise wouldn't last a season. Who would want to go on television just to be humiliated? And who would watch that kind of show?"

You really honestly believed it?

Is this really true???
If it is, I think its so disrespectful. Not everyone has to like how you express yourslef (singing, acting), and by having uniqueness in the theater community that what makes it great. Her fans believe in her and the show is sold out for a reason. Why would a judge even waste his time imposing this restraining order???
Critis aren't God, thier job is to share their opinion and sometimes offer suggestion, nothing else.

that is just crazy.
her understudy is Michelle Federer (aka Nessarose from Wicked). she would be cool to watch. I mean, in a completely different role.

Posted: 4/24/06 at 10:06pmI knew it was fake as soon as I saw the title, why would they give her up when she's making them so much money?

Posted: 4/24/06 at 10:11pmI admit my stupid mistake. However, I could imagine how critics are fed up with her being on Broadway.

You all didn't really belive that did you?
A) It would have been on the news or at least Broadway.com
B) No judge would do that
C) It even says its fake

Jesus, people. Her reviews weren't THAT bad!
"And for a first-timer, she's acquitting herself adequately. There's no reason for her to hang her head. But Roberts is going to need regular practice if she's to lose the inhibitions that, despite her unmatched radiance, cause her occasionally to get lost in the woodwork - unthinkable, if not physically impossible for her, in film. She's also going to have to choose a director next time who understands her gifts and can help her find material that will release them at full strength." - LA Times
I don't think they've torn her apart. A lot of reviewers said she showed potential but picked the wrong play to make her debut in. I personally enjoyed her performance. Sure, it was nothing mindblowing, but I have seen performances that were FAR FAR FAR worse on Broadway.
It sounds like someone's just jealous that they couldn't get tickets.

Posted: 4/24/06 at 10:34pmPeople like Julia Roberts should stop condescending to "do Broadway" before they get their feet wet somewhere else. Even the great Rosalind Russell toured in Bell, Book, and Candle before making the decidsion to do Wonderful Town on Broadway.

Posted: 4/24/06 at 10:48pmHow is it condescending? It's not like she decided to do it to help out the rest of the world, clearly she wanted to. And even if she was, who wouldn't be? She does make 20 million dollars a film.

How is she condescending?
She's stated in countless interviews that this has been a dream of her's since she was a child and now she's living it.
That's condescending?

I've never seen what's so special about her, aside from her huge lips that she uses to devour the weaker members of our species.
Much like Renee Zellweger, who's mouth has gotten so out of control and devious that it is slowly devouring her face. Soon she will only be able to play certain parts.
