Shoshana leaves half way through 1st act — Page 9

Many, many stars give to charity because their agents want a publicity moment. That may not be that case with Beany, but just saying....

You have to see this from another side.

Now she's $1,000 poorer - and may stay on Broadway to make more money. Think of the chirrun!

Didn't anyone teach you that it's better to be richer in character than in your bank account? Besides, this money was RAISED specifically for this cause.

This is like talking to a brick wall!

And it's amazing to me how you hate that we insult someone that we will never meet, and who probably stopped reading the message boards long ago, but you have no problem with personally insulting actual human beings on here.

BobbyB, BobbyB, relax. I'm no human being. I'm robotic, like Mr. Roboto. Domo Arigato.

Ok, you both have really good points and all that stuff, but for me and you can call me on this, but I do not see how it matter how or even why the money was raised, I am just gald that a reasonalble amount of money was donated to charity. Because isnt that what at the end of the day matters?

"Back ON topic however...does anyone know if Her Beaniness is on?"

I have heard yes.

Those of you who I have interacted with know that I am not in any way a fan of Shoshana Bean's performance, voice, look etc.

However, even if she did raise the money for charity 100% for the publicity (which frankly none of us will never know if it's the case or not) I agree that the important factor is that the charity got the money.

As YWIW??? said earlier, Shoshana Bean has her fans and for those people I hope she gives a great performance today and makes all of them happy and goes out on a good note.

I tend to agree with both Popular and BobbyBubby here. I see both sides of it. On one hand I personally don't see the need to question the intent of the charity. On the other hand, I support BobbyBubby's right to be as frank as he chooses to be regardless if I agree with it. It's only a problem if it impacts other user of this forum's enjoyment in a negative way and I don't feel that it has. This has evolved into a general thread about Shoshana Bean and every opinion, negative or positive, should be allowed to be discussed as frankly as wanted. My only disagreement is that when it becomes about specific posters as it did that it shouldn't be aired on the main forum. I'd take it to PMs.

Of course, Popular and BobbyBubby are two of my favorite posters on this forum and two that I chat with more often off of it, so I am torn. :)

How is that for being the personification of Switzerland?

If "stars" or the people close to them read these boards, it's their choice. No one in the public eye can expect that everything said about them all the time is going to be positive.

Should critics only say positive things in reviews because the actors/directors/designers and their friends and family read them?

Do we know if she went on this afternoon? It should be intermission about now.

I've heard she did go on and the show starts at 3 on a sunday right? so it's only 40 minutes into the show.

Elphabuff2 - No, I'm most definitely not. But thanks, I do take that as a compliment.
