I don't like that once again Broadway is running a new talent out of town. Last time, it was Boy George writing a totally orginal pop score and Reidel seizing on every move the production made and trying to find fault. I completely agreed with George's remarks in the documentary SHOW BUSINESS regarding how odd it was that the very same people who want the musical and B'way to survive are the ones attacking any new, famous blood that come near it.
I'm not saying one has to like the score or the shows, but attacking their efforts and swirling their productions like vultures is unnecessary and destructive. If they didn't want pop scores, then that would be one thing. But then there is ROCK OF AGES, a jukebox musical. If they want to attack hubris, like in the case of Mel Brooks, then that would make sense. But this just seems like nastiness and short-sightedness.

Wanna Be A Foster, when I first saw your post, I thought you said, "He's a cute bottom." ... I think I'll just leave that alone for now.
