Robert F.X. Sillerman on Theater Talk talking about Young Frankenstein 4/12/08

A lot of what he said made sense, but what I found interesting was that he said he didn't want to publish grosses because he thinks it's wrong for people to try and focus on how poorly something is doing. He doesn't want people to hope for something to fail I take it? "Everybody is looking into everyone else's pocket" or something like that.

But...isn't that what they did with Pirate Queen? They took advantage of falling grosses to announce they'd be taking the Hilton before Pirate Queen posted a closing notice. I just find that a little hypocritical.

What a boring man!

Susan Haskins: Stop tripping over your words.

Mikey Riedel: You are adorable as ever!

Wow. Sooooo many analogies. And that woman is such an awful little rat--I don't think I could be interviewed by her for five minutes without slapping her.

She's just so obnoxious and confrontational in her questioning, which is especially annoying when her facts are just plain incorrect. I know she's the producer, but I wish she would stay off camera. It's like she's constantly getting in the way of the otherwise intelligible, interesting, and cohesive interview that Riedel usually seems to be conducting on his own.

Also, do you think you could edit your original post and replace that lengthy URL with some hyperlink text that won't stretch out the page so?

His idea for a show is stupid, Your 45, and can sing how about Mama Rose.
