Don't allow the critics to decide on which show you should or should not see. Be your own person and make your own decisions. . Go see Dracula!

It is wonderful?
If you think that I have a great deal on a bridge in Brooklyn.
It is truly awful.
The cast and individual performers do the best they can but the book and score are weak.
I am being very kind as I have the hots for Tom.
But it was a PAIN IN THE NECK.

Gee, it's just like Alexander Woolcott himself has spoken, now that Corine has weighed in.

Sorry Macgruder.
I thought that the cast are all talented. The problem is the book and score.
The sets were fantastic and so are the cast.
But it was very boring.

Well I hope you do.
The flying is cool. But if you like it I will be surprised.

...I'll enjoy the trip...maybe not the show itself...but I'm going with two friends so we'll have a blast whether the show is great or not...

Just go to the bathroom before the show. The womens room there is the worst in the theater district. I hate that theater.
The bathroom has three stalls.
The theater that holds Sly Fox has 13 stalls. It was a pleasure.
The show was great too!

That's a very detailed review of the bathroom situation.

Corine2...thanks for the advice! and Craig...Us women need bathrooms...we can't live without them. Bathroom advice is very much a neccesity

Craig,
As a man, you have no idea the bathroom issues we women go through.(sorry typo Craig)
It is important. When I went to Dracula, I waited on line for 40 minutes during the intermission and still did not get to go.
How would you like to hold it in.
It was a 40 minute intermission and i still did not get to go.
It is a problem!
I was cracking jokes to some very nice people on line. One of the women thought i looked like Lacey Peterson. Updated On: 8/21/04 at 08:24 PM

We need to band together and protest Corine!

"As a woman, you have no idea the bathroom issues we women go through."

I think you mean as a MAN I have no idea. Because I have never been a woman.

And I guess your review is based on a preview you saw, not when the show was frozen. Also good to know...

Stand up for the privilege to pee.
This is not Urinetown.I wish it was. Urinetown was a great show.
My editor took me to the show. I never got to talk to him in the intermission as i was in a long long line.

Magruder,
You hit the nail right on the head with your post, I'm still laughing thinking about it! :-P. Long Live Noel Coward and Harpo Marx! LOL!

I just got a bunch of PM's asking me what Noel Coward and Harpo Marx reference meant? Here goes....

Alexander Woollcott 1887–1943

Noel Coward called him a "caged cobra." Harpo Marx thought he looked like something that had gotten loose from a Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Plump, owl-faced, acid-tongued Alexander Woollcott, one of the highest-paid critics in America by 1922, invited mockery just as he delivered it.

Linda, another great job with the photos. And I do think I'll plan to see it. Even if the Black Widow of theater has spoken.

Etoile,
Thanks, I appreciate it! Go see the show and don't let anyone dictate when and where you should use the bathroom, LOL!

Why is it that the more people hate a show, the more I want to see it? Funny that.

I'm going to take my parents for sure. The fatherling is a fan of Frank Wildhorn so I'm sure he'll like it regardless.

Madeofgold,
Maybe you prefer to see a show that is trashed by others because you like to make your own decisions, .
