Review: Molly in Sweet Charity — Page 2

Well merchendise has always been my passion- studying marketing/merchendising in school but anyways...

Tours need to make money- by having merch then can get word of mouth out better, and create more hype. Whe I walked into the pantages the merchandise booth was dark and really was an eye sore. Everyone was just standing there doing nothing, unlike other shows where people browse the merchendise and look at subscriptions. It seemed like they were not proud of the show.

Well, I have heard from many people who stage doored when she was in Cabaret that she is a nasty bitch.

She must think it is still 1985 and she is a hot commodity.

How sad is to hear that a performer has such a bad attitude toward the people who basically pay her bills. Liza Minnelli
-who is a way bigger star-had the option to go straight to her limo, but chose to greet the public after her concert in Clearwater FL. Thanks for the details, I will not attend to see this show again, the Broadway version was amateurish, and the Buenos Aires production I just witnessed was very impossible to top and respected the original choreography by Fosse. I'll skip Molly and this tour. By the way, Christina Applegate wasn't very graceful after the show on Broadway either.

All I'm saying is she simply couldn't have wanted to be bothered. As terrible as that sounds, after working sometimes you just don't want to even be bothered with anyone, and especially since it was so late, she probably didn't want to have to deal with signing autographs and meeting people. Perhaps that was the reason she didn't come out until 1 hr 15 min after the show ended because she figured people would've left by then. I'm not condoning her behavior, but she probably just didn't want to be bothered.

And if she wants to come off as a b!tch, that's her business.

---

Yes, and even if she didn't want to sign autographs millie...or be bothered...a wave doesn't hurt.

---

Maybe it's a good thing I didn't see it...

"This was because everyone already felt sorry because the theatre was half empty."

That is so funny!

I know stage-dooring isn't apart of a performer's job but, they are your fans and you should be gracious to them. Molly isn't a big a she used to be. If Patti Lupone didn't stage door(which does happen a few times) a lot of people would be disappointed but, Patti is so talented she can do whatever she wants and get away with it. In this case, Molly is not talented in this show and, is not nice at the stage door. Not Good.

Just speculation but... perhaps the director kept her after to give her 'notes' on her performance.... and she didn't like what they had to say, hence her avoidance.
I realize that no one is under any 'obligation' to meet/greet fans but you would think the producers would highly encourage the cast to, given how poorly its selling (and most of the reviews I've seen aren't to complimentary either).
On merchandise... you would think that they would at least bring along some shirts, thats free advertising for them... and maybe that might actually help them sell some tickets.

I met Molly after the Elvis Costello BWay Benefit concert... i didn't see people flocking to her because ALL of the stars were just walking around talking... i told her good job and she thanked me and smiled.. she seemed nice but i didn't talk to her or ask for a picture or anything.

If I were in a show that received bad reviews for its star and the production itself, I'd be pissy, too.

She mighted have said up yours if you did. Would have been the most interaction she had with a fan.

I don't know what all the negative buzz with the show or Molly is! I saw the show in San Jose and thought it was amazing! Molly was terrific in it. She has a great comedic touch and her singing was alright. Her dancing was a bit off, but it was okay because I didn't feel her character would be a good dancer anyways. I liked the show a lot, and am seeing it again in Sacramento in a few weeks. However, after the show at the stage door I was very dissapointed by Molly's rudeness. There were a few fans waiting for her, including a teenager girl. Molly came out and the teenage girl told her that she loved her 80's movies and Molly said "Wow, haven't heard that one before." I was very shocked and hurt that she would treat her fans like that. After saying that she quickly got into her car that was parked a few feet from the stage door and off she went. What a bitch. I saw her hours before the show walking outside and she looked like a hooker. My friend and I were laughing because she had these huge glasses on and her hair done up like a drag queen, as well as the fact she was wearing a skirt and high heels. We didn't say anything because she had a child with her.
