Riedel: Refunds Rampant after GREASE Finale — Page 2

Oh Michael...poor Michael.
Max just wasn't his type. He wanted to see more of Austin's abs.

Well next to hunky Chad and Jason (from 'Altar Boyz') Max is kinda nebbish (still). And I didn't get Austin's appel. I was only half watching the show, and after Chad was booted, I stopped even that.

I wish they didnt do this on a reality TV show. that is kind of tacky especially how they were singing all of the "movie" versions of songs and stuff like that. I said on another thread somewhere that my friend's mom was trying to convince me that Max is ugly and Austin is a better actor and very good looking....yeah ok well, that was her opinion and I said I liked Laura and Max. Well, Max looks more like a normal greeser than a Danny to me but I liked him better than Austin. Austin skeeves me for some reason and I dont know why. So, when Max and Laura won I asked her if she will see the broadway show and she said no. I asked her if she would have seen it if Ashley and Austin won and she shruged her shoulders and said probobly not. This is the reason why this shouldnt have been a show. It's people like that who vote. They vote and then abandon the show. I know that some people (us) would make good decisions about this stuff but what does the rest of america know about it. I think they should have done it the old fashion way. It's sacred.(kidding but not really). Ii also dont think they should have put on Greese. Didn't it already have a revival? They should have brought back something like West Side Story or something. Well, I suppose It's the investor's decision. I will probobly see it anyway.

people were going to want refunds no matter who won, why is this news worthy?

wouldn't it be funny if they sent out Austin and Ashely in the national tour... or are they waiting for the show to close on Broadway and then sending that cast out on the road? I've been thinking about that. It made more sense to me form the beginning for it to have been a national tour rather then a Broadway revival.

"Crumm (that name again!) and Osnes are notable only because they were the least attractive of the lot."

Umm yeah Laura was probably the most attractive girl there. She wasn't ugly, she was very beautiful.

"okay first off. Why is Reidel commenting on looks when he is not that attractive himself. I mean really come on!"

I totally agree. He's not the most attractive guy in the world and he would be lucky to get someone as attractive as Laura.

I'm not saying anything until after I see the show. Max and Laura both have great voices and were both very expressive with their songs and brought a lot of character into them.

And what's with the picking on the guy's name? If a Norbert Leo Butz can have a career, I think we can live with a Crumm. Or Gumm. And WHY am I defending these people?

I agree with the fact that it was a terrible TV show, but the people who were demanding refunds are really ridiculous. Get over it. You shouldn't have bought them early if you were gonna have a hissy fit later that the people you wanted to win didn't.

Interesting point Fosse, I thought I was the only one who noticed that Kathleen Marshal had the "I can't believe I let them tlak me into this!" look on her face alot of the time.

Ugg, Riedel is so full of it. Half the article is unsupported, I mean I haven't even graduated from High school yet and I know that when you write an article you're suppose to at least TRY to hide the fact that you're full of crap.
Even if he is right, reading the article just made me mad.

"Austin was bad enough in Hairspray...he most certainly doesn't belong in Grease."

Fosse76- Austin was certainly NOT bad in Hairspray. If he was, they wouldn't have put him in the Las Vegas production. Duh.

Finally, a Riedel article I liked!!

so, what exactly makes any choreography pedestrian? What does that even mean, I wonder?

Ironic that a man with the name RIEDEL would bash Grease.

Think about it. It's a thinking joke.
