Ouch. I don't understand how it can say that Eden is making her Broadway debut since she just recently left Wicked, unless for some reason, that someone didn't tell her that she appeared in a Broadway show.

He couldn't even get Eden's credits right, I wouldn't pin too much on him.

I've never heard of a "quote" good reviewer who had to pin point on peoples bios rather then write a review. Updated On: 10/27/04 at 12:38 PM

It may have been because Eden was only an understudy on Wicked, so Brooklyn is in fact her debut.

speechless!

That's right, pop. Though she has performed on Broadway as a standby, many would consider this her Broadway debut.

[Amy Archer]

It's her debut originating a role. And though you might not like what he has to say, Heilpern is a pretty fantastic writer, so he's not worth discounting at all.

Incidentally, Amneris, have you gone public on these boards about your parents' involvement as producers of Brooklyn?

[Amneris]

Posted: 10/27/04 at 12:43pm

actually yes, I have... what do you think all the 6,000 shilling posts were about? Everyone knows, it's old news and no one cares to have another person start a war.

'Everyone knows'

Actually...I didn't.

[popcultureboy]

Posted: 10/27/04 at 12:45pm

Me either, though it didn't take a genius to figure it out.

[Amneris]

Posted: 10/27/04 at 12:45pm

well now u do =D
and no one cares... I think it's stupid to be honest. big deal! I admitted long ago I was a shill and I no longer care to start wars over brooklyn or anything.

Maybe you should do the honest thing and not post in any more Brooklyn related threads.

[Amneris]

Posted: 10/27/04 at 12:50pm

i think you're right. I will. May be the only fair thing to do.

I missed that revelation as well.

I rarely have 'conflict of intersts' posts...but when I do, I generally try to avoid them.

This may be good advice for everyone here.

Can you tell I've been working in a legal department for WAAAAAY too long.

News to me as well.

[SueleenGay]

Posted: 10/27/04 at 12:57pm

Wow, I didn't know that about Amneris, either. However, I took his reviewing the bios as a way to point out the naivete of the people involved. From all I have heard, thier hearts might be in the right place, but they bit off a bit more than they could chew.

By the way, Amneris, what else have your parents produced? Is this their first venture into the producing game?

[NStar21]

Posted: 10/27/04 at 1:02pm

TheGaIsSilent, he made one SMALL mistake and it kind of is like her Broadway debut because most people don't even know who Eden is and that she was in Wicked unless it gets mentioned in reviews for Brooklyn. That one small mistake doesn't take away from his credit. Yeah, it'd be great if people got things 100% correct but that'll never happen. You're not perfect but because you make one mistake, should be people start ignoring you and your opinions?

That was my favorite review of Brooklyn.

[TheGaIsSilent]

Posted: 10/27/04 at 1:08pm

NStar, agreed. However, I thought his review didn't really review the show. It just said it was bad, over and over and over again.
