Swiss Miss serving up some killer Hot Chocolate! Sorry, I have little desire to see this. Though I do love a good train wreck now and again.

Have a little faith, guys. Shrek didn't turn out anywhere near as bad as some predicted.

I'm buying my tickets the day they come out - come on, it's f***ing Spider-Man!

All I know is, I'm spending money on this. I wish I weren't - but I have to see it, flop or hit, good or bad.

Are the group sales really "through the roof" as this article states?

I can't wait to see this thing... whether it's good or bad, successful or not. I'll pay full price for the first time in years to see this.

This has got my interest, I'll probably try to get tickets for around opening, being I have a feeling many changes will be made during previews since there is no out-of-town tryout.

I am trying to imagine them pulling off action scenes where they don't look like theme park stage shows with the way-too-obvious pulled punches and over-choreographed tumbles and my imagination is just not rich enough to get me there.

I hope they prove me wrong.

It is probably going to be more choreographed aerial dance fighting (think copulating Africans during Do You Feel the Love Tonight)

Comics and theatre--my two great loves. Half of me is so friggin excited for this and half of me knows it will probably be a huge turd. But hey, at least it is guaranteed to be the prettiest turd there ever was!

The sheer campiness of Swiss MIss has me sold. Now where do I go to buy a ticket?

I was there too.

Of the five "nobodies" mentioned in the article: Matt Caplan (Rent, High Fidelity, South Pacific), Anisha Nagarajan (Bombay Dreams) and Reeve Carney (a great singer/actor who I believe is connected to Taymor through the upcoming The Tempest).

I loved the set design, constant moment, creating a comic book/pop-up effect of bringing New York to life. And the music, while uniquely U2, was diverse enough to showcase different characters, and I think give show the energy it deserves.
