Laura Benanti to return to SINGER October 3rd! — Page 4

iluvtheatertrash has a very nice way of expressing support for Laura.

It's sweet and I like it.

Perhaps a coherent post surprises some on here.

And a real friend of hers would express support for her on here and anywhere else they chose. And not listen to posters with a lot of bossy advice.

Thank you, nom.

well said nom!!!! :)

See, I don't feel like it's name-dropping. But maybe that's just me? I think it's very hard to read people's intentions through text on a screen. So maybe I'm seeing it from a different perspective.

All I have to say is thank god she's comming back and that she is well.

"Honestly, iluv, your constant screaming about exactly how much you see/talk to Ms. Benanti and exactly how close you are, and what you know about her issues is having the opposite of your desired effect.

You need to care more about her than about what strangers think of the fact that you are friends with her."


Rath, my sentiments exactly.

Agreed. As always.

Maybe iluv intentionally or unintentionally phrased his postings in a way that gave the impression that he was closer to Laura personally than he actually is. Or perhaps he is that close to her, and in defending himself against those that questioned that closeness, he came across a little defensive.

Either way, there is no malicious intent on iluv's part, only on those who would seek to embarass him.

Shame on you.

I agree with the Laura fans and jdixon on this. I wish Laura a speedy return to health.

I'm disappointed by the disregard of "frequent flier posters" rath, munk and emcee who seem, like children, to be projecting their own behavior onto iluv.

One would think they would exercise the brainpower to create inventive threads of their own to host, rather than drop in, lose their manners, and take a pee in someone else's threads where they are not wanted.

"FUNNY.... Laura's official announcemant has come from a fan ...
Hmmmm...nothing on Playbill.com ...
or even Broadway.com...
or well anywhere for that matter... "

That's what I find strange. This has nothing to do with the fans...it has to do with Laura. Why no formal announcement through a publicist? Asking fans to pass along information--especially about a return to the stage--on a message board doesn't make sense to me. Why didn't she go the professional route?

Then you're reading me wrong -- or perhaps not reading at all. I'm not disparaging his intentions if I think that they're GOOD intentions. If I think they're good, it's completely paradoxical to accuse me of disparaging him, and hypocritical to deny what you've done. For you to tell me what my intentions are and then to tell me you're not doing so is a bit silly, no? Yes, iluv's information was benign and I admitted even useful and much appreciated. But something has clearly gone wrong, and I can see why other people are upset. Intent does not automatically, without care, breed proper action and outcome. I see where the need to defend yourself comes from, because it's petty that people don't believe it to be true and whatever. There's an implicit difference between berating him consistently for exposure of the relationship under any circumstances and disagreeing with the outcome. I happen to be of the opinion that there's just a different way to handle this all. To tell me that I am disparaging HIM when I'm disagreeing with a detail of what happened is pathetically melodramatic.

Don't lecture me on manners. You don't know me, and further, I am not a child.

nom, I dignify you and your diatribe with no further response than this. Suddenly the protectorate?

Emcee is totally right.
