Pirate Queen final performance: Reviews, Pictures, etc... — Page 3

I will miss this show. I saw it in Chicago and thought it was fairly good for its' pre-Broadway run. It had SO much potential, so I was so excited for it to open in NY. But from what I have heard they did not fix the biggest flaws that were in the show. I really wish they had fixed them, because the show had SO much potential. They could have brought this show from a C to an A+ show, but it seems like the creative team did not take the necessary steps to do that, and that is why I am sad for this show

"But he called the Enterprise a garbage scow!"

I mean

"But she called Spring Awakening "stage porn!"

TechEverlasting - What?

Ben, remember "Star Trek Voyager" that was on TV when you were in grade school? It's sort of related to that. (and I feel very old...)

---

I will add to my previous post that the probblems with this show were in no way the cast's fault. Each and every one of them was stellar, and they only did what they were getting paid to do. I wish everyone in the cast the best of luck.

And as a side note I will definitley be the first in line at my local Best Buy to buy the cast album.

I just want to thank those of you who shared your experiences at the show today.

The rest of the crap in this thread is just too ridiculous to respond to. For a wannabe composer Ben sure talks a lot of crap. One day he'll realize how small this world is and that it doesn't revolve around him, but I'm guessing he'll have burned too many bridges by the time that happens.

Popular...people are going to say what they what whether you or anyone else likes it or not. Your beloved show is gone but I still wish them all the best. People take this way too seriously.

can the drama just please stop? I hate drama.

thank you Worded, if all of you who are bickering would just stop posting this board would be a much happier place. We could all sit around a camp fire and hold hands and sing Koombaya... or something...

Yes, a very enthusiastic audience this afternoon. The cast was certainly giving it their all, and I'm glad I got to witness the final performance. It was my fourth time seeing this, and to be honest, the whole thing is such a bore. There was one good moment in Act 1 (I'll Be There) and one good moment in Act 2 (She Who Has All), but other than that, I just wanted some excitement, some decent music, and a comprehensive book...is that too much to ask?

Still, the cast was fantastic and I'm sure they will all work again in something more worthy of their talents. As a huge fan of Stephanie Block, I will say that she is SO MUCH BETTER than this show allowed her to be and I'm looking forward to seeing her in another project more tailored to her talents.

KOOMBAYA MY LORD...


KOOMBAYA

and nottice how the drama has stopped... for now?

"I can't believe that so many young people would rather see STAGE PORN."

I wouldn't consider SA stage porn, Lady Italy. There was one sex scene with very minimal nudity. As a young adult, I found that although I couldn't relate to the show 100%, I did find some aspects of it I could relate to, such as dealing with parents and going against authority. That's one of the reasons why it is pretty popular among young people - a lot of issues presented throughout the show is what WE are dealing with. So, in a way, it can be uplifting and inspiring, depending how you look at it.

My mother would probably have the same opinion as you; she isn't necessarily rushing to see this show. I think a majority of parents might feel this way about the show. Hey, you're entitled to your opinion.

Getting back to the subject, again, I wish I got to see Pirate Queen before it closed! I was going to go with someone on Saturday, but he backed out. Boo.
