Posted: 10/29/07 at 10:32amAnybody know the critic's tally for SIDE SHOW? Ben Brantley gave it an (almost) unqualified rave in the New York Times.

Cyrano The Musical 1994 4 month run! Beautiful production.
I loved Murderous Instincts becasue it lived up to every bad story surrounding it! Sooooooon bad it was good! But also very bad!
A young actress with Noel coward after a dreadful opening night performance said to him 'Well, i knew my lines backwards this morning!''
Noels fast reply was ''Yes dear, and thats exactly how you said them tonight'!'

Posted: 10/29/07 at 1:10pmWas Aida panned? Legally Blonde received mixed-to-positive reviews, I thought. And I don't remember Mamma Mia being panned at all. Critics were surprisingly kind.

Posted: 10/29/07 at 1:15pmI wish I could have seen Taboo, I love the OCR. In the documentary "Show Business" it is very interesting to hear the critics talk about this show--you get the feeling their pans had very little to do with the show itself.

Posted: 10/29/07 at 1:29pmJust my opinion, but the original production of Merrily We Roll Along is still the best. Maybe it's the rawness- and the presence of Hills of Tomorrow at the beginning and end of the show- beautiful dramatic irony.

Posted: 10/29/07 at 2:04pmThe Latest Revival of The Wiz in La Jolla. The show was AMAZING, but for some reason the reviewers didnt like it. I really hope the show gets picked up in the near futer!

He's a faker, and you've been taken in by his con. And in doing so, you are enabling him. He is doing more damage to aspergers than papa's words ever could. -Chane/Liverpool on me having asperger syndrome.
