FAME: On 42nd Street

First off, congrats to my man Dennis Moench for being a HUGE bright spot in the show and for delivering a great performance with soo much talent that blew everyone else away. GREAT JOB!!!
That being said...........

POTENTIAL MARQUEE QUOTES FROM CRITICS FOR THIS SHOW:

1. "Fame-They should change the lyric from 'I'm
gonna live forever' to 'I hope we don't close
tomorrow'"
2. "I loved it so much, I emigrated to Iraq."
3. "I saw it for free. And I want my money back."
4. "I'd rather castrate myself with pruning shears
rather than sit through that show again."
5. "It was as if the director was in the bathroom
during the entire rehearsal process."
6. "Fame-Hey, at least it's a paycheck."
7. "Fame-It was so gay it turned me straight."

and he added it was the worst show ever produced with the worst performers,lyrics and director in case you didn't get that.

Thats sad... but i thought it was funny =)

I don't know if I want to go see the show, because I know the show is terrible itself, but I kinda knew this would happen. It's just a bad show. Nothing can be done to help it. Unless they re-wrote it. "Tyrone's Rap" is one of THE most awful songs I have ever heard in my life.


Cheers,
The Balladeer

Don't hold back, what did he really think?

I don't know why people don't listen to me about this one. I've said it before, I'll probably have to say it again. The book of Fame is the biggest piece of crud ever. It's an odd composite of the movie and the TV show, melodramatic and devoid of any internal logic. It's all false.

And then there are the pictures of the cast that were posted on Playbill.com. Sure, one of the guys playing a teacher had a pair of arms I'd pay to lick, but then you look at the "kids" in the cast with their stupid pasted on fake "Broadway (tm)" smiles that are supposed to signify "youthful energy" but all they really do is put the "ificial" in "art."

fame is also FAKE with their advertising!!!! They are using the TOUR commercials with Gavin,Jenn and Hollie to promote NYC production so when people go to see it, none of that "good" stuff will be there.. Updated On: 10/8/03 at 08:40 AM

Anybody who is tricked into spending one thin dime on that show is being treated as a rube by producers who are just cynical enough to sell you on something that should never have been brought into NYC to begin with.

Namo,

I have to say that this is one time I am in whole-hearted agreement with you.

You made one very bitter paralegal happy.

Lots of hair-pulling and bra twisting backstage...and the girls are even worse.

Namo, what a great line about "ificial" to "art"...you should really write for a living.

Do you really think I should????? I just made that line up right when I was writing the post. Isn't that crazy??

All kidding aside, don't you know who I am? Remember my namo.

sorry i'm too dense to get the clue of who you really are, Namo. Is it an acronym? M-O-N-A Kent from DAMES AT SEA? one of the rockers named A-M-O-N? A-M-N-O the Civil War soldier? A-N-M-O of earthquake fame? M-A-N-O a mano? O-M-A-N of the Middle East (or did she marry Bowie?) O-M-N-A of the naming authority? or simply the lovely Ellen DeGeneres being her less fishy self?

Or the little mermaid who lost her voice? Wait, that was Ariel.
