Palace Theatre: Home of WEST SIDE STORY — Page 2

CPD, I know I mentioned last week that I would get you information on the official opening in DC, and from what I've been told it is this Wednesday the 7th.

Thanks Dottie.

Usually out of town reviews are a little slower than NYC.

In that link that ThankstoPhantom posted, it says that All Shook Up closed on "September 35, 2005." Oops.

I like the marquee. They were putting it upw hen I went to work yesterday.

I miss Legally Blonde. When this show clothes without recouping, I'll just laugh quietly at how stupid it was for them to force that show out, especially now that it's making BANK and selling out on tour. Oh well.

They were NOT forced out. You think Legally Blonde deserves to be on Broadway more than WSS?

Kelly rhymes with smelly

^ And have you actually seen the revival?

"^ And have you actually seen the revival?"

Yes I have.

"Have you seen the show? Have you ever seen a production of this show? Are you just basing what you say off of other people's opinions? Do you seriously think Legally Blonde is better than WSS. It's much more "tired, pathetic, gimmicky" than West Side Story and it had a charmless lead. Josefina Scaglione is perfectly charming, by the way. So is Karen Olivo. May not be able to say that about Matt Cavenaugh but they is a different story..."

Yes, I have seen the show. I don't think Legally Blonde is a better show than West Side Story, I think that Legally Blonde is a better show than THIS SPECIFIC PRODUCTION of West Side Story. Laura Bell Bundy had more charm in her toe than Matt Cavenaugh has in his entire body. The show is ridiculous and I've seen high school productions that were better.

"Is it me, or is that just a tarp that's been printed on? Because, most shows use a thick peice of translucent plexiglass, or something... Right? "


i know i was shocked wen i saw that but i was walking back once they were finishing it and apparently the really big marquee posters are all just like that and they get tightened down and fastened until it is tight and flat
i guess it makes more sense and is alot cheaper to make and easier to store and get around
but i thought they were plexiglass too

haha i thought the same thing!!

but maybe theyve always done it for that theatre?
i know its done that same way on bilboards and things in times square

I cannot believe we are comparing casts from two completely different shows.
