Overhype

Which shows have you gotten tickets for, gotten all excited about, can't wait to go... and are disappointed because you made so much out of it? (I know I worded that one all wrong, but you get my idea lol)

I got all excited for Wicked, but found the show disappointing. Still very good, but slightly disappointing for what I hyped it up to be. JLT was excellent, but Idina... not as good as I expected lol

PHANTOM OF THE OPERA

It was a 2 hr plus sleep pill!

No offense - don't bite my head off.

Idina, as much as i love her, as very shakey performances. I've been lucky to see her at her best.

The Producers - and that was with Nathan and Matthew. Liked it, but I didn't think it was all it was cracked up to be.

Hi,

I totally agree that the show doesn't do the book justice.

Maguire, however, said that he was happy with the musical (I mean he wouldn't say it's horrible).

I do remember Winnie Holzman (Book) saying that she wouldn't the novel to survive only as guidelines

Phantom. Wasnt BAD but just not all I had expected. And while the price of the ticket hurts ... the disappointment is so much more!

Is there any certain reasons you didn't like Phantom? (Just curious )

Ugh, Avenue Q by far........


....HAHAHAHA. Sorry I thought this was the "What's the most fun you've ever had at a show?" thread. Q does not get NEARLY the credit it deserves; every time I see it, I walk out of the theater on top of the world...and it's not just because the Golden has a GREAT bathroom for doing coke...

Anyway, overhype? I'm staying out of that.

Wicked, but not b/c I didn't like the show. I'm a huge Gregory Maguire fan and was disappointed that the show drifted away from the book...

Rent-I saw the tour in Boston. I guess that's what happens when you get used to the original cast singing the songs.

The Producers. Don't get me wrong, I really liked it... it's just not all it's cracked up to be.

AIDA
THE PRODUCERS

Just about every damn musical I've seen in the last ten years. That's why I've stopped going.
