Pirate Queen- Is It Really That Bad? — Page 2

This show is so good and I love it.

I have seen it five times.

It is so strong and knows what it wants.

The CD will come out. People will buy it. The summer crouds will go see it. Come July no one will care about its reviews anymore. If this show can stay open long enough for the CD to come out... then Young Frankenstein better look for another rodent to fly circles over.

PIRATE QUEEN IS FEIRCENESS LIVE ON STAGE

GO SEE IT

no, THE PIRATE QUEEN isn't really that bad at all.

im also in the love boat for this one.

Wicked will close, In My Life will come back, Ashlee Simpson will take over Ebersole and pigs will fly all over Broadway.

Yes, it really is that bad. Les Miz is my favorite musical of all time, Miss Saigon is in my top 10, and I also really enjoyed Martin Guerre both in London and D.C., so I'd consider myself a Boublil/Schonberg fan. Unfortunately I have to say I thought PQ was pretty awful and one of the worst shows I've seen in years. Most critically, I didn't care for the music at all, the premise is promising but the book a mess, and the direction is even more aimless. You could tell they were trying to build momentum, but it just didn't work. Even the choreography was a disappointment. I think Stephanie Block is talented, but she could not save this.

I think Jekyll & Hyde was significantly better than PQ (and to be honest, I thought that show had a LOT of problems, including an uneven score and some very questionable lyrics).

It seems to me that a lot of people do like the show, and in fact the night I went many felt compelled to give it a standing ovation. So if you do decide to go, I really do hope you like it. But I hated it. Sorry. I think there are probably better shows you can get on TKTS.

I don't think it is as bad as people say it is. Of course we all have our own opinion and taste so it really depends on if its your kinda show or not. I think the show has some really strong points the costumes, sets,and cheography were great. I also thought the cast was very talented and that Stephanie was amazing. I enjoyed some of the songs and thought the plot was ok. It isnt the best thing on Broadway but it is good. Also you cannot go in expecting the greatness of Miss Saigon and Les Mis just go in with an open mind and I am sure you will be entertained.

It's not *horrible* but aside from the dance sequences it is rather boring. I didn't care about any of the characters. The ending was dull. All of the music sounded like they just re-used tunes from "Martin Guerre" & "Les Mis."
I did like Hadley Fraser. That's about the only praise I can give it.

You should feel fortunate to catch it before it gone. I want to see it yet now there is no chance.

Maybe if Grace pulled a hand-mic out of her shirt every time she went to sing, if the stage was covered in green vines, something flew over the audience, the actors played instruments, the book was more witty, and then a dog came out on stage and did a flip, you people would have liked it.

Maybe also it needed a sex-scene and some puppets.

Whatever the popular idea is, people will follow it. If Ben RAVED about the show people would have taken it seriously.

When I saw SA people at intermission thought they were on the TV show “Xed”, it was that bad.

But SOMEWHERE along the line some group of high-ups decided that after Spring Awakening “Broadway will never be the same”

And I am afraid those people were right.

The Tony voters were on glue when they saw Pirate Queen, if they even did see it.

But why would people (in general, the public) like and accept some things on BWAY that are just crap and then not accept PQ.

Woe is me.

HAHA nobody mind me... I am just sad its closing so I am saying things I half mean and can't back up.

WAAAAAAAA!!!

r i p

This show is not meant for America.

hahaha or even Kchow, Monk, you name it. Maybe Lupone or Peters to the country at large, maybe.

^Go see Grey Gardens. <3
