I don't think Sueleen was saying that, but if Ivy was crossing her arms and frowning and sighing onstage during "Heaven on Earth," she might approach either of those jobs with disdain.

I can not conceive of someone MORE attractive. He is perfectly cast- adorable, clean cut enough that you're surprised he's a whore.

That's right. I don't think they are demeaning jobs at all, but you can be damn sure Ivy does.

The actor playing Ellis is actually not a bad looking guy. I think I'm just so skeeved out by the character that it ruins any chance of me enjoying his storyline.

"I think I'm just so skeeved out by the character that it ruins any chance of me enjoying his storyline."

That, and his total lack of acting ability.

Next to Cousin Debbie's son and Meryl's daughter, Ellis looks RSC-trained!

Cousin Debbie's son truly is something special. I woulda bet dollars to donuts that it was young Anakin Skywalker all growed up.

Did any of these performers go to the Royal Tampa Academy of Dramatic Tricks?

I feel kind of bad for Meryl's daughter. She's got the same face as her sister but none of the acting ability.

The son reminds me of a young Kevin Kubusheski.

"I'd like to see her start an anonymous theater blog."

Speaking of, while I was trying to see the full performance of Butz' number (of course I can't, it's US only content like everything from Hulu or NBC, because you know all the damage that would happen if people in Canada could watch it...), I came across Smash's pretty terribly done anonymous Broadway blog related to the show.

Robbie, perhaps I should have added: with the build of an old Kevin Kubusheski.

(eta -- he would've been great on Degrassi though!)

It seems obvious that Elis was cast with an actor who looks like a teddy bear, and dressed in vests and bowties, to make his behaviour seem all that more sneaky and "shocking", but...

well, i don't feel like going back through this whole thread, but can i just say what i'm sure many have said already?

oh. my. goodness. this show got terrible very, very quickly. so bad. i just watched the most recent episode. smash really just took all of the bad, formulaic aspects of glee and exacerbated them to a point where the show is completely nonsensical, stereotypical, ridiculous, and utterly predictable. every character sucks. it has lost any fragment of conviction that it started with. the pilot was so good... what a total letdown.

I enjoy the show a great deal. Three thumbs up.

Meh, I dunno why I need to post this, but in defence of SMash over Glee, as much a mess as it is, at least on Smash the characters basically act consistant from episode to episode, something you really don't get at all on Glee...

for me, it's a badly/inconsistently/cliche-ridden writing trial (and i usually LOVE Rebeck stuff, so even more disappointing) that is saved by good performances in general and some interesting song-writing, lively choreography, and enough in-references to both vex and attract us Tampa Tricks alums! and the Shukert recaps are BRILL
