Parts of A Show That I Never Got — Page 3

Sauja - No, there is no flirtation on the doctor's side of things...it's just Diana misinterpreting things.

If anybody saw the Spamalot in Chicago, what was the point (the cut scene)of The Lady of The Lake as a the cow? I assume to be on the stage more at any costs?

Re: Ragtime ages, I always thought Mother was about 28 and her Younger Brother was 19 or 20.

I did attend an early preview and there was another cut scene where The Lady of the Lake was the accused witch as well. The early concept was that everyone would play a variety of characters except Tim Curry, who would only play King Arthur as the axis to the plot. But the Cow Song was mostly a pointless attempt at characterizing an iconic non-character from the film and it ground the show to a deadly halt. She's a Witch was a clever song, but it was too long. I think with the Cow Song gone, the witch number went as well and The Lade of the Lake would become the single role for Ramirez and balance out the single role of King Arthur as permanent fixtures throughout the show. The show did work better with the cuts, in my opinion, but they should have kept the witch number and given the role of the witch to one of them men, which I think would have been funnier.

I believe she is misinterpreting her doctor's words because it fits with lyrics in the song, like "and though he'll never hold me, he'll always take my calls" and "it's like an odd romance", suggesting that she is confused by the doctor-patient relationship.

I disagree with the teasing, I agree with the above post, their relationship is blurred, and these lines help to illustrate the confusion.

Elle is pretending to be excited. Emmett's gift is a bad one because you're never supposed to use two-in-one shampoos and conditioners. Paulette is excited because of all the things Emmett could have gotten her, he gets her a haircare product. Her gestures afterwords have nothing to do with the present. She's telling Elle that she likes him and that Elle should make a move, just...not in so many hand gestures.

Felm_heart, I would have to disagree with that interpretation, b/c the entire song, "who's Crazy?" is about how he does support her. He drives her to these appointments day after day always hoping that things will get better, to the point that he is doubting his own sanity.

I can't believe people need explanations to anything in Legally Blonde.

How could Dan "waiting in the car" be indicative of him not supporting her? Is he supposed to go into her therapy sessions with her? This is psychiatric treatment, not marriage counseling. Whether you take it to mean that Diana is just making a joke or an indicator of her thinking the doctor is trying to seduce her, all it means in terms of Dan's involvement is literally that he drove. The other characters mention multiple times that Diana can't drive. Yes, there is that other mention of "the one who just waits in the car" in Who's Crazy, but it's from Dan's point of view, and that's a different story. There, it's a matter of him wondering whether he's crazy for staying with her through all of the hell.

Felm_heart, if it makes you feel any better, that is how I interpreted the line. In my mind, it will still mean that too, even if it may be wrong.

^ That also makes sense, a lot of sense actually. I never knew this line was so ambiguous lol.
