PORGY AND BESS = AMAZING!!!!!! — Page 4

I had no idea you can see when people join broadway world

Once you've been a member long enough Rob sends you a special pair of bull**** glasses that enable the wearer to see join dates.

Otherwise, your join date is not listed anywhere.

And I want to thank all my lovies on here for giving me my Xmas present early. This is the most awesomest thread ever. Even Mr. Sondheim would approve of the snark.

Call it "BWW's Porgy And Bess".

Especially for group sales.

>>>"All I can think of is that that they’re jealous they can’t write music like Diane Paulus did."<<<

Wait a minute, have we just learned that Diane Paulus wrote the Gershwins' music and lyrics? Is this akin to learning that Jerry Herman didn't write "The Motherhood March"?

Please clarify.

Just like zombies, they arise agains and again.

If anyone else wishes to engage with this... person, be my guest. I'm outa this thread and going to go listen to some music by Mr. Gershwin.

Argh!!! "Proofreading!" There we go.

Anytway, in regards to the picture thing, I probably shouldn't for privacy's sake. And that would definitely be WAY off topic.

Okay, Blaxx, if its such a waste of cyberspace, why are you contributing to the waste by responding. And not even originally. If you're going to be a douchey hypocrite at least be a more thoughtful writer. Now, a lot of you are just as bad, but wittier responders, which doesn't exactly save you from being sorta awful. So much "you're a shill, I know you're a shill, hey, you're a shill" commentary. Why? What good does it do but drag the boards down. I know some of you live for this kind of stuff, anything to feed the negative. But come on, four pages? Really?

To Owen 22:

Because his original post was clearly and obviously a shill. Read it, then read the rest of his/her posts and tell me they are the work of the same person. I dare you.

This one was so obvious, it wasnt even funny. In fact, it wasnt wirth reading at all until the witter posts appeared and at least made it funny. And now with his/her return, under yet another name, but just as obvious because it's the same writing style... you expect us to be, what, kind towards someone whose sole purpose on this board is to make sure we chat up a production "that dances across the stage" in as glowing a way as possible?

Give me a break. If the OP (along with his/her various other noms de plume) wishes to be honest with us about his/her connections to the PR office of this piece, that's fine. But to sit there and adamantly insist there is no connection is just mind-boggling. The posts themselves betray it.

How is the show in dire straights?? Ive heard its selling relatively well. Anywho.

Namo...i must ask because i always worry with you. Have you seen this production yet? Please shock me and say yes. And be telling the truth.

Isn't pb2011 spoofing the op?

Or are you all in on that joke?

fair enough.

I have not seen the show...yet. I am seeing it this weekend. (I mean what's a jew to do on Christmas? I believe b'way and sushi and racial stereotypes is the only way!) Despite naysayers, I'm looking forward to it -- as I try to always walk into a theater with an open mind (or else why bother?)

That being said: I have to agree with those that doubt the intent of the OP (no matter how many names he/she signs in with). We've seen it too many times.

Note...there is another poster that shilled his off off b'way show here -- but he stated right up front that he was in the show and hoped some of us would come see it. See how that works? Honesty. Priceless.

Will I report in with my thoughts? You bet. Will some disagree? You bet -- no matter what my opinion. Will folks do that respectfully? No idea, but it does largely depend on how I express myself. Note: I have NEVER seen P&B, although I know the basic story line and much of the music. I'm sure that lack of preconception on what it is 'suppose' to be might work to my enjoying the show more than purists (no disrespect). We'll see!
