Everyone should just approach the show with an open mind. So you didn't like bklyn, so what? That is not any reason to not give this show the same chance that every show deserves. Do you always like every show that a certain writer creates? Probably, not. Honestly, you cannot judge a writer based on one show of their's that you saw and did not care for. Maybe if all of you bklyn haters can stop worrying so much about whether or not your opinions parallel those of the critics then you might actually find yourself enjoying the shows you spend so much energy degrading here. As for the question of what Mark has done in his life that is "so damn great", all I can say is this: although Mark's show was not a critical or even financial success, it has still touched many people and changed the lives of many, contrary to what you all may think. Not many shows can truly have such an impact on so many people. To me, that's pretty damn good.

Every show deserves a chance? since when? Some shows really don't.

Let's steal Rent, make the songs more American Idol, cover the actors and stage in trash, and we can touch the hearts of the younger generation.

throw in a little courage and i might just go see the wizard.

Let's see, you don't have a heart because, well, the Brooklyn in your blood decayed it.

You don't have a brain because you made your opinion against BKLYN...

And your courage will be needed when hoards of Brooklyn fans attack you with TWISTER costumes.

well thenard, i guess i should start on my way right now. Anyone know the Wizards Cell number? I wouldn't wanna show up all unannounced demanding things.

OK, lets remember the title of this theard: It's not about Brooklyn and not about Rent, it's about "How I Got to Broadway".

[Thenardier]

Posted: 8/1/05 at 1:40am

Don't worry, I know you are coming.



(And I don't give out my cell. That's only for witches.)

"And your courage will be needed when hoards of Brooklyn fans attack you with TWISTER costumes."

Are there really "hoards of Brooklyn fans" out there? If that were the case, you'd think that abomination would have run a little longer.

Remember, they are 12...They can't ALL afford to see the show many times.

"Are there really "hoards of Brooklyn fans" out there? If that were the case, you'd think that abomination would have run a little longer."

Actually, Brooklyn survived on Broadway just because of it's fans. With those reviews, the show could have closed after a week. But it stayed on Broadway for 10 good months.

I'll say this, the producers knew what they were doing as far as marketing goes.

Maybe Mark Schoenfeld's experiences can inspire some. This was a man who was once homeless, living on the street who made a living by being a street performer and because of the generosity of a friend realized a dream. There are so many of us that go through life day by day struggling, hoping and dreaming. Mark Schoenfeld got lucky and realized his. That is inspiring in itself. He may have some great material because of his experiences in getting "Brooklyn" produced. He may have something of value to share with others because of those experiences.

Will it conclude with a demonstration of a ThighMaster?

Master, what are you changing your responses?

[MasterLcZ]

Posted: 8/1/05 at 6:53am

"You too, can be inspired by my story - from obnoxious street performer to a bloated egotistical maggot feeding off Johnathan Larson's corpse. It's easy!"

Will there be a song called "Papering the House"?

[Marquise]

Posted: 8/1/05 at 7:01am

Master why would you assume Schoenfeld was an "obnoxious street performer/egotistical maggot feeding off the corpse of Jonathan Larson"?

Do you know him personally? Or are you just angry?

[MasterLcZ]

Posted: 8/1/05 at 7:21am

I don't know Schoenfeld.

But I saw BKLYN. Thankfully for free.

My description stands, kid!

why don't you people just give it a rest already? If you didn't like bklyn fine.. you don't have to bash Mark or his show. Simply as stated before. Don't See it then.

Posted: 8/1/05 at 8:38am

This is the worst idea I've heard since....Ever.

[Love4Cheno]

Posted: 8/1/05 at 9:12am

I thought this was a joke.

Wasn't BKLYN autobiographical enough?

[melissa errico fan]

Posted: 8/1/05 at 9:25am

Apparently, he has enough bad songs to fill 10 musicals. Will Eden be playing Mark?

[dancingthrulife04]

Posted: 8/1/05 at 9:28am

Is there really a need to bash everything you don't like? If you don't like the idea, don't go see the show. It's that simple. No one's making you go.
