The Pirate Queen is performing on The View today. I'm a little scared it will be postponed due to the tragic events at Virginia Tech. Anyone think they'll cancel it? In any case, we'll know very soon!

It was on. Very smart of them to show the dancers. re: Pirate Queen on THE VIEW today! I didn't like the show, but Stephanie and Hadley were quite good.

A dull song to perform and the lighting was distracting.

Only interesting part was when the dancers came out.


"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."
--Aristotle

Im glad I missed the show while in NYC, it doesn't seem like my kind of musical, although I don't know if I can judge the show because of one song.

The best part was after the performance they panned to the audience who was barely clapping and looked bored out of there mind.

Well, I thought it was an amazing presentation. If that doesn't sell tickets to the show then I don't know what will.

*Yawn* Whatever happened to subtlety in singing? She sounded like Celine Dion(now I know where the comparison came from). Totally boring, I was kind of impressed when the dancers came out, but didn't really see how it fit into the plot. But I guess I cannot judge until I actually see the whole thing.

If I remember correctly, it doesn't happen like that in the show. They were just randomly tossed in the TV appearance.

I kind of figured that, becuase it was totally disjoint and random. I was like "Whaaaa?"

Yeah, that was pretty funny. They've just finished a ballad and are looking deep into each others eyes when WHAM! On comes the dancing!


Don't be too sure I'm as crooked as I'm supposed to be.

I think the show would probably be better if it confused people that. I know I would shell out the money to go see something totally random.

I agree. The dancing was very random.

It didn't appeal to me, but I applaud Rosie for her support.

Yeah since we can pretty much guarantee no performance at the Tonys maybe this is the only visual record of the flop we'll have...

I think you're all being too hard on them. I thought the transition looked fine. There wasn't anything random about it, really, if you know anything about the show, and since she mentioned Riverdance it was kind of expected...

I went to the taping of the View today. I think the reason the audience may have looked bored out of our minds was that we couldn't hear them that well, plus the performance stage is way to the back of the studio and the cameras block our view. It was difficult to really even try to enjoy. Oh well, we got free tickets for tonight's show so I'll be able to make a better judgement. I'm just happy I don't have to spend money on a show that I may not enjoy. Hopefully I'll be pleasantly surprised.
Besides the tickets, no good freebies like they often have on the show.

You're complaining that 80something dollar tickets aren't a good enough freebie? (I suppose it's true if you had gone on Rosie's bdays you coulda seen 3 80something shows...) When I see the View the majority of days don't have free gifts--or if they do it's a DVD or something

I personally thought the performance was absolutely boring, Hadley Fraser looked and sounded like he was bored out of his mind and in turn bored me as well. Stephanie has a great voice and from other clips I've seen of her, she is quite a talented performer but it seems as if she had been directed to overact. Boring staging, boring song, very generic Irish dancing...*yawn*

I understand Robert (Man From UNCLE) Vaughn & Robert (It Takes A Thief & Hart To Hart) were on as well

It was actually TWO songs, plus the dancing: we got a tiny, tiny bit of "Woman," then just Hadley's part of "If I Said I Loved You," then part of the dancing from the christening scene. Really disjointed, but then they got, what, four minutes or so? Man, they tried to cram a lot into one show: a guest author, Robert Wagner (and another actor; didn't catch his name, sorry), Paula Deen, and the PQ segment. Plus, of course, conversations on Virginia Tech and John Edwards' $400 haircut. They didn't even start getting to the guests until about a quarter past, so, that's four guest segments in 45 minutes, plus commercials.

Is that what The View is normally like?

On a good day, they usually get to the guests at half hour.

FInally watched it--it wasn't so bad but oy if I were a choreographer I'd FORBID my dance steps to be performed on the View. After this and the **** filming of One from Chorus Line before it's obvious that the camera crew doesn't have the room to properly film a dance number--and doesn't even try. Why film mroe than half of it from a "behind and to the side" angle? ugh
