Rosie: "Mary Poppins is best musical in past 10 years" — Page 2

TOm: That was for the last sentence of SuzyQzy's post. I do want to see it, though.

I just need to say to the people who love the movie (MP) and were disappointed by the stage: Get over it. I know the love and expectation you had, but if it's the same as the movie version, what's the point of staging it?

I haven't yet heard an opinion from a person who loves the original books and not too emotionally attached to the movie about the show. Oh I would love to hear what Ms. P.L. Travers would have thought about the stage version.

My friend Henry is in it and I'm seeing it on Dec. 9th at a matinee.

It's gotten okay reviews.
It's the first show my parents actually fought over who would have to take me.

My aunt works for Disney so we got good free Disney house seats.
=)

Rosie said the same thing about Wicked and Seussical.

Well, all I will say is that I think it's a shame that she said something nice about a show and the people who probably just don't like her are putting her down for it. Feel how you want about her, but to say that she's stupid for telling people it's a good show is just ridiculous. It all comes down to opinions anyway...

"The Lion King hasn't been open for 10 years, so "best musical of the past 10 years and best family musical since The Lion King" doesn't make sense. If Rosie says The Lion King was better, then she can't say Mary Poppins is the best musical of the past 10 years."

~Completely and totally not true. You're judging two different categories: Best musical of the past ten years, and best family musical. Mary Poppins can be the best FAMILY show since the Lion King, and that only means that the last show, before Poppins, that was decent for families was TLK. Then, to say that it was the best show in the last ten years is a whole different idea, encompassing all shows. Nice try though.

The whole argument is stupid since, as sueleengay wrote, she said "ONE of the best musicals..."

I'm just tired of the Rosie bashing. I'll admit, she's not perfect, but she does a LOT for the theatre community, the gay community, and children/families. When I met her she was nothing but nice, and I would rather form an opinion based on an actual conversation (and yes, it was a conversation, not a passing comment) than on whatever you hear in chat rooms and the news.

Rosie is the best View host in the last ten years.

And what does that say??

I love Ro. I'm not saying she's being stupid. I'm just saying what not say "Seussical is the best thing since Lion King" and then say "Wicked is the best thing since Seussical" and then "Grey Gardens is the best thing since Wicked" and THEN "Mary Poppins is the best thing since Grey Gardens"

Just a thought

Rosie says that about EVERY show she sees.

Everytime she attends a show, she calls it the BEST thing she's ever seen!

I remember when the revival of CHICAGO opened during the run of her talkshow, and yes...she called it the BEST show she's EVER seen! Then THE LION KING opened -- same song. Then TITANIC opened. Yup, you guessed -- it was the BEST show she's EVER seen in the last 10 years!

When HAIRSPRAY opened AFTER she ended her talk-show...she went on to The Tonight Show to proclaim it THE BEST MUSICAL I'VE EVER SEEN IN THE LAST 10 YEARS! So enthusiastic was she...that she gave out the Original Broadway Cast Recording to the entire Tonight Show audience!

Word of advice -- ignore the animals and please, please... do NOT feed them!

I didn't hear her rave over "The Times That Are a Change-in" but she did have whats his name perform and after it she just went "WWOOOOOOWWW!!! ISN'T HE A CUTIE PATOOTIE!?" Haha. I love Ro. But she calls everyone cutie patootie! She even called me a cutie patootie when I met her after Fiddler! And Harvey F. does the same thing with calling people Cookie. Hahaha. I love them both.
